What causes penetrating damp?
Penetrating damp usually starts when rainwater finds a way through the outside of your property. Porous walls and ageing bricks can become less effective at keeping rain out, while spalled bricks and degraded mortar can allow water to penetrate through damaged areas of the building fabric. Building defects also play a big part, especially when defective guttering and downpipes, roof damage, or dilapidated or poorly installed windows allow water to reach the structure. We investigate these issues carefully at Curedamp Ltd, because treating the stain on the inside without fixing the route from the outside just wastes your time and money. This can mean anything from a chimney breast that keeps darkening after heavy rain to a bedroom wall that feels cold and damp each winter. Our penetrating damp work focuses on finding the cause first, then putting the right repair plan in place for your property.
A proper survey saves guesswork
Our surveyors look beyond the obvious patch on the wall and check how water is getting into the building fabric. We assess the condition of brick faces, mortar joints, external render, roof edges, gutter runs and window details to spot faults that keep feeding the problem. That matters because penetrating damp can mimic other moisture issues, and the wrong diagnosis often leads to repeat decorating bills and ongoing damage. We bring qualified knowledge to each inspection through our PCA membership and CSTDB surveying background. We help you understand what needs repairing now and what can wait, so you can make clear decisions without the usual guesswork. If your damp concerns may be linked to rising damp or condensation, we can help identify the underlying moisture issue and recommend the appropriate treatment.

Very professional and courteous young men. They explained everything inside and out to make it easy to understand and didn't blind me with science. They were very tidy and very personable. Usually having work done is a very stressful thing but they made it very easy to relax knowing they work was being done properly.
