- 🔍 DiagnosisThe dampness seen on the chimney breast is hygroscopic, meaning it attracts and holds moisture from the air.This occurs because sulphate and nitrate salts from historic smoke and soot deposits have migrated through the brickwork and are now present in the plaster. These salts absorb atmospheric moisture even when there is no liquid water penetration.As a result, efflorescence (white, powdery salt deposits) appears on the surface. Simply drying out or repainting the wall will not cure the problem — the contamination in the plaster will continue to draw moisture, making the damp patch return

- The presence of mould growth around windows is typically the result of surface condensation rather than water ingress.Condensation occurs when warm, moist air inside the property comes into contact with cold surfaces, such as window panes, reveals, or adjacent walls. The air cools, and its moisture condenses into water droplets. This repeated dampness provides the ideal conditions for mould spores to develop and spread.Mould spores are microscopic fungi naturally present in the air. When they settle on damp, poorly ventilated surfaces, they germinate and grow, forming black or dark grey mould patches. Common areas include the corners of window reveals, behind curtains, and around frames where air circulation is poor and temperatures are lower.

- A chemical damp proof course (DPC) is a remedial treatment designed to stop rising damp — moisture that travels upward through masonry walls by capillary action from the ground.If the original physical DPC has failed, is missing, or has been bridged by high ground levels or internal plaster, moisture can rise through the wall fabric, carrying ground salts (nitrates and chlorides) that cause plaster damage, paint blistering, and damp staining.A chemical DPC injection creates a new barrier within the wall to prevent further upward movement of moisture.

- Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) is a whole-house ventilation system designed to reduce condensation, damp, and mould growth by improving indoor air circulation and controlling humidity levels.A PIV unit works by gently introducing fresh, filtered air into the property — usually from the loft space (for houses) or directly from the outside (for flats and apartments). This creates a slight positive air pressure inside the home, which pushes out stale, humid air through natural leakage points such as window vents, extractor fans, or small gaps in the building fabric.

- Tanking is a waterproofing method used to prevent water penetration through walls and floors, typically below ground level or in areas subject to persistent dampness.It involves applying a watertight barrier directly to the internal face of the masonry to stop moisture from passing through the structure and into the internal space.Tanking is commonly used in basements, cellars, retaining walls, and sometimes on ground floor walls where damp penetration is severe
