“Excellent service throughout. Ashton came out to look at an issue raised on a part-exchange survey and, rather than recommend expensive remediation, told me honestly there was nothing wrong with the wall. Great to have an honest discussion.”

Areas we cover near Christchurch
Our specialists regularly work throughout Christchurch and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Why Christchurch homes get damp
Rivers, harbour and sea all meet in Christchurch. Here are the damp problems that come with that.
High water table by the rivers
Homes near the Avon, the Stour and the harbour sit on wet ground, putting old or missing damp proof courses under constant pressure.
Old walls with no DPC
Cottages in the historic centre and Purewell often pre-date damp proof courses. Cement renders and modern paints can trap moisture and make things worse.
Coastal exposure in Highcliffe
Clifftop homes in Highcliffe and Walkford take strong wind-driven rain, which finds its way through worn pointing, render cracks and failed sealant.
Condensation in cold rooms
Post-war homes and bungalows with cold walls and little ventilation are prone to black mould, especially in bedrooms in winter.

Your local damp, mould & timber team in Christchurch
Christchurch sits where the rivers Avon and Stour meet and flow into Christchurch Harbour, so much of the town is low-lying and the water table is high. The historic centre around the Priory, Castle Street and the Quay has some of the oldest homes in the area, often with solid walls, lime mortar and no proper damp proof course at all. Mudeford and Purewell have older cottages close to the harbour, Somerford has post-war family homes, and Highcliffe and Walkford have larger houses and bungalows near the cliff top, where wind and rain come straight off the sea. Older homes here need breathable repairs, not cement renders and plastic paints that trap moisture, which is why our ISSE-accredited surveyors always look at how the building was built before suggesting a treatment.
