Local knowledge
Damp in Morley homes
The older terraces near Queen Street and the town hall have solid walls, in stone or brick, often built with lime mortar. Rain gets in through worn joints and cracked render, and old damp proof courses may have failed or been bridged. See penetrating damp and rising damp.
Morley stands on high ground, so the walls and gables facing the weather take more than their share of rain.
The post-war houses further out have cavity walls, where condensation and leaks are the more likely causes.

Questions
Questions about damp and timber in Morley
Not covered here? Ask us. A photo of what you have noticed helps.
Can I fix condensation myself?
Often. Use extractor fans, leave trickle vents open, dry washing outside or with a window open, and keep the heating low and steady.
Why is the gable wall of my stone house damp?
Gable walls on high ground take the brunt of wind-driven rain, and worn pointing or a cracked chimney lets it in. Repointing and fixing the flashing usually comes before anything inside.
Do you cover Morley?
Yes. Morley is one of the towns we work in, along with Beeston, Rothwell and Armley in Leeds, and Huddersfield.
