“Excellent service from start to finish. The survey was thorough and professional, with honest, evidence-based advice rather than trying to sell unnecessary work. I came away with complete peace of mind.”

“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 Wareham
Our specialists regularly work throughout Wareham and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Why Wareham homes get damp
Between two rivers and full of historic buildings, Wareham has its own damp challenges.
Wet ground between two rivers
Low-lying streets near the Frome and Piddle have high ground moisture, so ground-floor walls are prone to rising damp and salts.
Old walls that need to breathe
Stone, brick and cob walls were built to let moisture out. Cement, plastic paints and the wrong plaster trap it in.
Rot in floors and roofs
Damp timbers in older cottages, especially under floors and around roofs, are vulnerable to wet rot, dry rot and woodworm.

Your local damp, mould & timber team in Wareham
Wareham is one of the oldest towns in Dorset. It sits on a narrow strip of land between the rivers Frome and Piddle, inside its Saxon earth walls, and many streets are low-lying and close to the water meadows. The town centre has Georgian brick houses and older cottages with solid walls, and Purbeck stone is common in buildings around the town. In the surrounding villages there are cob and thatched cottages that must be able to breathe. Sandford, Wool and parts of Stoborough have more modern homes. With so much old housing on wet ground, damp is common here, but it is also often misdiagnosed, so we always find the actual cause before recommending any work.
