Local knowledge
What to expect from a damp proofer
Damp has several causes, and each needs a different fix. Rising damp, rain getting in, condensation and leaking pipes can all leave marks on the same wall, so the first job is working out which it is.
That means looking at the whole house, not just the patch: the ground and paving outside, the gutters and pointing, how the rooms are heated and aired, and in many Sheffield homes, the cellar. You should come away knowing the cause, even if you decide not to use us.
Be wary of anyone who quotes for injection before they have looked outside. If the answer is a gutter, a fan or lowering a flower bed, we will say so. See how we approach damp proofing.

Questions
Questions to ask a damp proofer in Sheffield
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
What should I ask a damp proofer?
Ask what is causing the damp and how they know, what the work involves and why, what happens to the plaster, how long it will take, and what the quote covers. A clear answer to the first question matters most.
Do I need a damp survey first?
The cause has to be found before anything is treated, so we look at the problem before we quote. If you are buying a house, see damp and timber surveys.
Do you work all over Sheffield?
Yes, from our base a few miles away in Rotherham. See damp proofing in Sheffield for the whole range of work we do there.
