Local knowledge
Damp in Maltby homes
Much of Maltby's older housing went up in the early 1900s for the colliery: solid-walled brick terraces and semis, many with suspended timber floors. Where they have a damp proof course it is now more than a century old, and some have failed or been bridged by paths and yards built up against the walls.
Under those floors, air bricks matter. If they are blocked, damp air sits around the joists and rot can start.
Most post-war and many 1930s homes have cavity walls, where damp is more often condensation, a leak or cavity insulation that has got wet than rising damp.

Questions
Questions about damp and timber in Maltby
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
Why is the wall of my Maltby terrace damp near the floor?
In an older terrace, damp low on the wall is often rising damp past an old damp proof course, but soil or a path built up against the wall, a leak or condensation can leave the same marks. We check which before we quote. See rising damp.
Do you treat woodworm and rot as well?
Yes. Damp, rot and woodworm often go together in older houses, so we check the timber as well as the walls. See timber treatment.
Do you cover Maltby?
Yes. Maltby is only a few miles from our base in Rotherham, and it is one of the towns we work in.
