🚫 Dealing with Damp? Don’t Ignore It!
Damp in your home isn’t just unsightly – it can damage your property’s structure and even affect your health.
The good news? Most damp problems can be fixed quickly once you know the cause.

Here are the 3 most common types of damp we find in Dorset homes:
1️⃣ Rising Damp – Moisture travelling up from the ground into your walls.
2️⃣ Penetrating Damp – Water getting in through damaged brickwork, roofing, or windows.
3️⃣ Condensation – Excess moisture inside, often from poor ventilation.

💡 Quick Tips:

Keep your home well-ventilated (especially kitchens & bathrooms)
Check gutters, downpipes & roof regularly
Repair cracks or damaged pointing before winter hits
🏛 Special Note for Older Properties:
Many heritage and period homes in Dorset were built with lime mortar and lime-based renders, which allow the walls to ‘breathe’.
Using modern cement or waterproof coatings can actually trap moisture inside, making damp worse.
We use traditional lime methods where appropriate to help older walls release moisture naturally while still protecting your property.
We can:
✔ Identify the root cause of your damp problem
✔ Carry out repairs to stop damp at the source
✔ Use the right materials for your property’s age and structure
✔ Help prevent future issues with proper waterproofing and ventilation
