What is Damp?
Come rain or shine,
we won't let you down.
Put simply, damp is the presence of unwanted or excess moisture within a structure. A property can become damp for a number of reasons, with the source of moisture either coming from inside the property (e.g. condensation and plumbing leaks) or from outside (e.g. a defective gutter or roof tile).
However damp makes its way into your property, it’s unwanted, unsightly and inconvenient. Here at Crownstone, our specialist team of remedial surveyors and damp proofing technicians work to assess, diagnose and fix your damp problems. Your body may be 60% water but your home shouldn’t be.

Signs of Damp
Damp comes in many shapes and forms, some more easy to identify and fix than others. No two cases of damp are ever exactly the same, and the advice of a suitably qualified, specialist surveyor is important in ensuring that your time and money is not wasted on solutions which, ultimately, will not fix the problem.
Signs of damp may include:
– A wet or musty smell forming within your property;
– Water droplets forming on the inside of windows or window frames;
– Mould or mildew forming on walls;
– Dark damp stains and/or wet patches appearing on walls and ceiling;
– Wet or rotting skirting boards and floor timbers.
If you see any of these in your property, do not delay. Book your specialist damp and timber survey today on 0208 226 5654 or contact us using the online form at the bottom of this page.
