Homes we work on in Richmond
Richmond has a lot of Victorian and Edwardian houses with solid brick walls, plenty of period conversions split into flats, and newer riverside developments. Solid walls are colder than modern cavity walls, so condensation forms on them more easily, especially behind furniture and in bedrooms. Period conversions often have bathrooms added in small rooms with weak extraction.
Common damp and mould problems in Richmond
- Condensation mould on cold solid external walls in Victorian and Edwardian homes
- Bathroom ceiling mould in converted flats with undersized fans
- Penetrating damp from worn pointing, tired gutters and chimney stacks
- Basement and lower ground floor damp in older houses
- Bridged damp proof courses where gardens and patios sit too high against the wall
Being close to the Thames does not cause damp on its own, but older homes near the river with poor drainage around the walls need the outside checked carefully.
