Damp, mould & leak services in Putney
Putney's housing stock spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semi-detached houses, purpose-built mansion flats along the Thames embankment, and post-war council developments in Roehampton. This varied mix of ages and construction methods creates a wide range of vulnerabilities to damp ingress, condensation build-up, and deteriorating waterproofing, particularly in older solid-walled properties and riverside buildings.

Common damp problems in Putney homes
Rising and Penetrating Damp in Victorian Terraces
The Victorian and Edwardian terraces concentrated around East Putney and the streets off Upper Richmond Road frequently suffer from failing or entirely absent damp-proof courses. Solid brick construction with no cavity wall allows rain-driven moisture to penetrate directly into internal plasterwork, while ground-level dampness wicks upward, leaving tide marks, salting, and mould growth on lower walls.
Flat Roof Leaks and Balcony Waterproofing Failures in Mansion Blocks
Putney's riverside mansion flats and converted purpose-built apartment blocks, particularly those along Lower Richmond Road and Deodar Road, commonly feature flat roofs, canopied balconies, and parapet walls. Over time, felt or asphalt waterproofing degrades, allowing water to track through the roof structure and present as ceiling staining, blistered plaster, or persistent mould in upper-floor and top-floor flats.
Condensation Mould in Roehampton's Post-War Housing
The large post-war council estates in Roehampton, including blocks constructed using non-traditional methods and panel systems, are particularly prone to severe condensation-related mould. Poor thermal performance in concrete panel walls creates cold bridging at junctions, causing moisture to condense on internal surfaces during cooler months. Kitchens, bathrooms, and north-facing bedrooms are most commonly affected across these estates.
What our customers say
Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
