FAQ
Rising damp in Hammersmith and Fulham — your questions answered
Do I need to move out while you treat rising damp?+
In most Hammersmith and Fulham jobs, no. The work is dusty in the affected rooms but we contain the area and you can usually carry on living in the rest of the house. We'll be clear about access and disruption before booking.
Will treated walls in Hammersmith and Fulham be ready to redecorate straight away?+
Salt-resistant replastering needs to cure and dry before final decoration. As a rule of thumb, allow around a month per 25 mm of plaster thickness in a Hammersmith and Fulham home — your surveyor will give you a specific recommendation.
What's the first step if I think I have rising damp?+
Request a free quote using the form on this page. We'll get back to you to talk through what you're seeing, arrange a survey of your Hammersmith and Fulham property and put a clear written plan together if treatment is needed.
Do you cover the whole of Hammersmith and Fulham?+
Yes — we carry out rising damp surveys and treatment across Hammersmith and Fulham and the surrounding postcodes. Request a quote and we'll confirm we can attend your address.
How do I know it's rising damp and not condensation in my Hammersmith and Fulham home?+
Rising damp shows up low on the wall, typically below the first metre, often with a clear tide mark and salt deposits. Condensation usually appears higher up, around windows and cold corners. A proper survey at your Hammersmith and Fulham property is the only reliable way to be sure.
