★★★★★ 5.0 from 20 Google reviews · trusted by Egham homeowners, landlords & property managers
Quick answer: Damp & Mould Solutions UK carries out structural drying and dehumidifier hire in Egham after a leak or flood, measuring moisture until the structure is genuinely dry, not just dry to the touch. A commercial dehumidifier and air mover, delivered, installed and collected by us, is £250 per week for each set, and we recommend one set per affected room. A weekly monitoring visit with a written report is £250, charged from the first week, which is also your baseline reading, so one set for two weeks comes to £1,000 in total. A Certificate of Dryness is £250, added once two consecutive weekly visits show dry readings. A leak is not over when the water stops. Mould can start within 48 hours, so we find the source, dry the structure and treat any mould, all with one company. Drying equipment is hired by the week, with a one week minimum. Call 020 3051 8478.

Leak to dry to treated, one company in Egham

Egham's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre and Egham Hythe to 1930s semis, post-war estates, and larger detached homes near Englefield Green and Virginia Water, plus flats close to the station and river. This mix of solid older masonry, timber suspended floors, and riverside proximity to the Thames means moisture behaves differently street by street, making a one-size approach to drying unreliable.

Drying challenges in Egham homes

Riverside flooding into solid and suspended floors

Properties near Egham Hythe and the Thames towpath face periodic flood risk, with water pushing up through suspended timber floors or soaking solid concrete slabs laid without adequate damp membranes. Once floodwater recedes, moisture often remains trapped beneath floor coverings and within joists, encouraging rot and mould unless subfloor voids are properly ventilated and monitored.

Lath and plaster walls in older terraces

The Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Egham town centre commonly retain original lath and plaster internal walls, which absorb water readily during leaks or burst pipes. This plaster can hold moisture for weeks, appearing dry externally while remaining saturated behind, so surface drying alone risks leaving hidden dampness that later triggers mould growth and plaster failure.

Cavity walls and screed in post-war estates

Post-war semis and estates around Milton Park and Pooley Green often have cavity wall construction and sand cement screed floors, both prone to trapping water after leaks. Screed dries slowly from the surface down, and wall cavities can hold water pockets long after visible dampness disappears, meaning inadequate drying frequently leads to recurring mould and damp patches months later.

Tip: Painting or plastering over a wall that is still wet inside traps the moisture and the mould comes back. Drying to a measured moisture target first means the repair lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How much does structural drying in Egham cost?
Drying equipment is hired by the week, with a one week minimum. A commercial dehumidifier and air mover, delivered, installed and collected by us, is £250 per week for each set, and we recommend one set per affected room. A weekly monitoring visit with a written report is £250, charged from the first week, which is also your baseline reading, so one set for two weeks comes to £1,000 in total. A Certificate of Dryness is £250, added once two consecutive weekly visits show dry readings. Managed drying suits insurance claims and jobs where repair work depends on the property being proven dry.
How long does structural drying take in Egham?
Most domestic drying takes one to three weeks depending on how wet the structure is and the materials. We monitor moisture levels and confirm when it is genuinely dry.
Can I hire dehumidifiers from you?
Yes. We supply, install and monitor commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, hired by the week with a one week minimum, for as long as the drying takes.
Will you find the leak that caused it?
Yes. We can trace the source with non-destructive leak detection first, so you are not drying out a property that is still getting wet.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. Drying comes with moisture logs and a written report formatted for insurers and managing agents.
