“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 Wimborne
Our specialists regularly work throughout Wimborne and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
Why Wimborne homes get damp
From the rivers to the sloping sites, these are the damp problems we deal with most around Wimborne.
Wet ground by the Stour and Allen
Homes near the two rivers sit on damp ground, and old or bridged damp proof courses let moisture rise into ground-floor walls.
Walls below ground level
On sloping plots, earth is often banked against one wall. Water pushes through, and those walls need tanking rather than a simple DPC.
Period homes and the wrong repairs
Cement renders and modern paints on Georgian and Victorian brickwork trap moisture and cause damp patches and flaking plaster inside.
Condensation in newer homes
Family homes in Colehill and Corfe Mullen can suffer black mould where ventilation is poor and walls are cold.
Services we provide in Wimborne
Every service is delivered by our own in-house team and backed by our 25-year guarantee.
Your local damp, mould & timber team in Wimborne
Wimborne Minster grew up where the rivers Stour and Allen meet, and the town centre around the Minster and the Square is full of Georgian and Victorian buildings with solid brick walls. Many are listed or in the conservation area, so repairs need to be breathable and in keeping. Close to the rivers the ground is low and wet, which puts pressure on old damp proof courses and on walls built into slopes. Further out, Colehill, Corfe Mullen and Merley are mostly 20th-century homes, where we see more condensation, mould and cavity wall problems. We have also tanked retaining walls in the Wimborne area where soil is banked up against the house, one of the jobs written up on our blog.
