“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 Weymouth
Our specialists regularly work throughout Weymouth and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
What causes damp in Weymouth homes
Weymouth’s seafront exposure, low-lying ground and historic terraces mean several types of damp can occur at once. Correct diagnosis is everything.
Salt-laden coastal weather
Sea air carries salts into masonry. These hygroscopic salts draw moisture from the air, keeping plaster damp long after the original water source is fixed.
Georgian & Victorian terraces
Solid walls, basements and lightwells in older terraces are prone to rising and below-ground damp. Many need a membrane or tanking system rather than a simple DPC.
Low-lying ground & high water tables
Properties near the harbour and Radipole are exposed to wet ground. Good drainage, French drains and correct ground levels protect the walls from saturation.

Everything you might be wondering
In coastal properties it is often salt contamination in the old plaster rather than ongoing water ingress. Unless the salt-laden plaster is removed and replaced with a salt-resistant specification, damp patches will return. Our survey includes salt analysis where needed.
