WHY DAMP IS SERIOUS
Don't Panic—Most Damp Problems Don't Cost the Earth to Fix.
If you’ve spotted damp patches, flaking paint or black mould in your home, don’t automatically assume it’s going to break the bank. At Kingston, we diagnose and rectify all forms of dampness. Where possible, we also offer 20-year insurance-backed guarantees on our remedial works.
We’re always happy to provide honest advice and cost-effective solutions free of charge. Before you stress, let’s look at the three main culprits behind damp in UK homes—and how we fix them.
| Cause | What It Is | Some Common Warning Signs | The Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Condensation | Trapped airborne moisture hitting cold surfaces. | Black spot mould, wet windows, musty smells. | Improving ventilation (Extractor fans or PIV units). |
| 2. Rising Damp | Groundwater being pulled up through porous brickwork by capillary action. | Peeling paint, blown plaster, salt stains on walls (under 1m high). | Chemical DPC injection and membrane system, or simply clearing breached brickwork. |
| 3. Penetrating Damp | Water forcing its way in from the outside. | Isolated damp patches on walls/ceilings, external green moss. | Fixing defects (Gutters, pointing, roofs, or plumbing). |
