★★★★★ 5.0 from 20 Google reviews · trusted by Windsor homeowners, landlords & property managers
Quick answer: Damp & Mould Solutions UK carries out structural drying and dehumidifier hire in Windsor 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 Windsor

Windsor's housing runs from Georgian and Victorian townhouses around the castle and Peascod Street to riverside cottages in Clewer and Eton, plus 1930s to 1960s semis in Dedworth and estate housing near Windsor Great Park. Solid brick walls, lime and lath plaster, and low-lying ground near the Thames all hold moisture longer once a leak or flood gets in.

Drying challenges in Windsor homes

Riverside properties along the Thames in Clewer and Eton

Cottages and townhouses close to the river in Clewer, Eton and along the Home Park boundary often have solid brick walls with no cavity, so floodwater or a burst pipe saturates the masonry directly. Moisture then moves upward through the brickwork and into skirtings and lath plaster, and without proper extraction and dehumidification it resurfaces as mould weeks later.

Historic town centre buildings near the castle and Peascod Street

Timber-framed and Georgian buildings in the conservation area around Windsor Castle and Peascod Street were often built with lime plaster and breathable materials, later covered over with modern gypsum skims or cement renders. Trapped water behind these non-breathable layers cannot evaporate outward, so drying takes longer and risks damaging original timber and historic wall fabric if rushed.

Suspended timber floors in Dedworth and Clewer's inter-war semis

Many 1930s to 1960s semis in Dedworth and Clewer have suspended timber ground floors over ventilated voids, and later extensions with solid concrete screed abutting them. A leak under these floors soaks joists and subfloor timber while the void traps humidity, encouraging rot and mould growth that stays hidden until boards are lifted or a smell develops.

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 Windsor 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 Windsor?
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.
