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

[Richy86]

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 Jeremy,

Thanks. Did you have to pay for the report/quote?

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!

this is penetrating damp rather than the more complex rising damp - you need a good builder try colorado 07931443216 he's local and has done similar work for us.
