Housing in Hampshire
Older towns in Hampshire mix solid masonry on the front with later cavity suburbs behind. Salt-bearing rain and sea winds punish pointing, sills, and gutters. The suburb house is often a condensation or cavity-bridge question, not a failed course. Solent rain hits solid town walls, while the suburban stock behind them is cavity construction with its own bridging faults.
Sea-facing masonry
Salt and wind-driven rain open the joints. The inside stain is matched to that elevation.
Cavity suburbs
A 1930s or post-war house is checked for debris or wet insulation in the cavity before anyone talks about rising damp.
Sills and balconies
Failed sills and balcony joints drop water into the wall at one point. That is a local repair.
Sea-facing masonry
Solent rain hits solid town walls, while the suburban stock behind them is cavity construction with its own bridging faults. A solid-walled house on the Hampshire coast is inspected for open joints and gutters first. Injection is refused when the water is rain.
Local, Quick Response Time:
Send the Hampshire postcode and a photo of the mark. The survey date depends on access and the diary.
Guaranteed Dry Home:
Every single job we complete is backed by a solid, long-term guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind that the damp is truly gone for good.
Cavity suburbs
Cavity houses are not treated as if they were solid. Wet or bridging insulation is a different specification, and it is not emptied on a guess.
Sills and balconies
Salt in the air is not the same as hygroscopic salts from groundwater. The survey looks for a tide mark and a failed course before calling it rising damp.
What this is not
Balcony and sill leaks stay at one patch. A whole-wall damp-proof course does not close a joint.
Drying and timber
Flats over a seafront parade can grow mould from cold concrete and shut vents. That is ventilation, priced separately from masonry repairs.
What the quote lists
The quote names the elevation, whether the wall is cavity or solid, and the plaster that has actually failed.

FAQs in Hampshire

No. Wind-driven rain and salt attack the outside face. Rising damp is water from the ground.
No. Only fill that is wet or bridging is remedial work. Dry, stable fill stays.
Groundwater can rise through masonry when the damp-proof course is missing, has failed, or is bridged by soil, a patio, or render. A low wet patch is not automatically rising damp, because a leaking pipe and rain can look the same. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with the floor and the postcode.
The survey checks the course and the outside ground first. A bridge is removed. Where the course itself has failed, a new horizontal barrier is installed and salt-contaminated plaster is replaced. The wall then dries over months, not the same day. Send the quote form or WhatsApp to book the survey.
A failed course keeps feeding salts into the plaster, and joist ends in that wall can soften. That still does not make every low mark rising damp. The survey says whether the wall, a leak, or condensation is the cause. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with a photo.
Black mould on cold walls and glass in winter is usually moist indoor air, not a failed damp-proof course. Heat, ventilation, and less moisture from drying clothes indoors are the useful changes. A new course does not dry the air. Send the quote form or WhatsApp if the mould keeps returning.
The written quote follows the damp type and how far the repair goes. Injection without replastering is a different job from injection with the salty plaster removed. A figure before the survey is not a quote. Send the quote form or WhatsApp with the postcode.
