Housing in Tyne and Wear
Brick terraces in Tyne and Wear are commonly solid wall, with a rear addition, a small yard, and joists built into the damp gable. Cellars and raised back yards cause more bridging than a mysterious failed course. Tyneside flats put two homes in one terrace shell. A leak in the shared roof or the rear yard can wet both, and access is agreed before work.
Rear additions
The back room was often built later, with no course or with the yard paved over it.
Yards and alleys
A concrete yard above the course wets the kitchen wall. The level is the repair.
Cellars and joists
A cellar is below-ground water. Joist ends in the wet wall are checked for rot, not painted over.
Rear additions
Tyneside flats put two homes in one terrace shell. A leak in the shared roof or the rear yard can wet both, and access is agreed before work. Terraces in Tyne and Wear are usually solid brick. Rain through open joints and a bridged rear course are both common, and they are not the same repair.
Local, Quick Response Time:
Send the Tyne and Wear 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.
Yards and alleys
The back yard is measured against the damp-proof course. If the concrete is high, it is cut down. Injection under a high yard still bridges.
Cellars and joists
Party walls and chimneys stain from next door’s gutter or a failed flashing as often as from the ground. The survey looks over the wall, not only at the wallpaper.
What this is not
Cellars under the front room are quoted as basement work when earth or a coal cellar is against the wall.
Drying and timber
Joist ends in a damp gable are the timber risk. Soft ends are replaced or isolated after the wall is dealt with.
What the quote lists
The quote is metres of the affected wall, the yard if it bridges, salty plaster, and any joist or cellar. A spray price is not a terrace repair.

No. The yard, the rear addition, and the gutter on the party wall are checked first.
Yes, when they are soft. Sound joists stay. The damp source is stopped in the same job.
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.
