Common Questions

See some common questions and answers below or call us on 07960-07-0783 
  • How do I know if I have Damp?

    As a property or business owner you can use certain visual and touch signs to help identify rising damp. The typical signs include:

    • Wallpaper coming off or peeling from the wall

    • Damp patches and staining about 1 metre up a wall from the floor

    • Tide marks on the walls up to 1 metre caused by evaporation and salts from the ground.

    • Decayed skirting boards

  • How do I know if I have condensation?

    Condensation tends to get worse in cold weather. The other types of damp (apart from plumbing leaks) tend to get worse in wet weather. Condensation tends to form patches of mould with blurred, soft edges rather than a stain mark. The air can't hold the moisture and tiny drops of water appear.

  • Is Damp and Condensation bad for my health?

    Yes, if you have damp and mould in your home you're more likely to have respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma. Damp and mould can also affect the immune system.

    Wet rot can take hold where timber has become wet over time, often near ground level, in close proximity to damp walls, or due to leaks. Rotten wood has a soft, spongy feel, caving in easily when prodded with a screwdriver, is typically cracked along the grain, and is usually still wet.

Landlords Beware

Tenants now have the right to sue their landlords for cold or damp homes under new laws that have come into force today.

If a landlord does not carry out necessary repairs or maintenance, the tenant will be able to take them to court where a judge can issue an injunction forcing the work to be carried out, under the government’s new Homes (Fitness for Human Habitations) Act 2018.

With changes applicable in England only, landlords must ensure their properties meet the law’s habitable standards. Failure to do so means they may face the possibility of being taken to court by their own renters.

Around 5.8 million renters in the UK experience damp and condensation issues, and 2 million believe they have developed an illness as a result of their living conditions, according to new research by Rentokil Property Care.

The study found that despite one third of tenants - 33% - contacting their landlord to help them rectify these issues, in more than half - 51% - of those cases, no help was given.

The investigation revealed that while many landlords do assist occupants, it takes an average of 84 days to rectify the problem.

Rentokil Property Care says that less than one in five - 17% - of tenants in England are aware that they can force through changes to their homes and ensure they are fit for habitation via the Homes Act from today.

The study of renters found that 44% of rented properties had no extractor fan in the bathroom, and a further 31% said the bathroom had no window either. It is these sorts of issues that can have a direct impact on the growth of mould and proliferation of damp.
