Builder to look at a damp issue in Barry Road East Dulwich

Hi There,


I am looking for a recommendation of someone who can come and take a look at a damp issue in my spare room on Barry Road. This is a first floor flat. This appeared after 2 days of solid rain this weekend and considering I moved into the flat 2 weeks ago having bought it back in the summer this is just my luck..


The spare room is a kitchen conversion and upon external inspection of the side wall it appears that the damp patch coincides with where the old ventilation from the kitchen is. I therefore do not think it is a brick issue but rather a sealant issue. However, I am not a professional and would like someone to come and take a look.


I have attached some photos below.


Please let me know if you or you know someone who would be able to come and take a look.


Thanks

Richard

I'm currently using this company, who are based in Croydon: http://londondampsolutions.co.uk/


I should stress that the actual work is scheduled for next month, but they did a pre-purchase damp survey for me and put together a comprehensive report/quote. I've been quite impressed so far.

Hi Richard - yes I had to pay for the report/quote, but obviously my case is different to yours - I didn't own the house at the time and wanted a complete pre-purchase damp survey. Very much doubt they'd charge just for a quote in your case!

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
