We Find It. We Treat It. We Stop It Coming Back.
We begin by visiting the property to inspect the wall and floor construction, check external ground levels, drainage, internal moisture readings and timber condition. This initial assessment helps identify whether the issue is rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation-related.
Based on the diagnosis, we develop a tailored plan specific to your Hampshire property—taking into account build age, construction type, location and exposure.
Our specialist services include:
Installing or renewing a chemical or physical DPC.
Internal or external tanking or membrane systems for heavy ingress.
Ventilation improvements, mould remediation and timber preservation or repair.
Once work is completed, we carry out a final inspection and provide advice on ongoing maintenance, drainage, ventilation and preventing recurrence.

A damp survey is the most reliable way to understand why moisture is appearing before any treatment is recommended.
Damp can have several possible causes. A stain on a wall may be linked to condensation, rising damp, penetrating damp, a leaking gutter, a roof defect, damaged pointing, cracked render, high external ground levels, poor ventilation, blocked airbricks, a leaking pipe or moisture affecting hidden timber.
Somerset has a wide mix of property types, from older cottages and stone homes to town houses, coastal properties, rural buildings, commercial premises, converted barns, rental flats and modern estates. The correct treatment depends on the property, the source of moisture and how the damp is moving through the building.
Our surveyors assess the wider building, not just the visible patch. We look at internal symptoms, external defects, ventilation, ground levels, moisture patterns, wall construction and timber condition.
Where the cause is more difficult to identify, we may recommend our survey and diagnostic services.
Many Somerset properties are older homes, cottages, stone buildings, rural houses, converted barns and period properties. These buildings often need a careful approach because they can behave differently from modern cavity wall homes.
Older properties may have solid walls, traditional mortar, suspended timber floors, chimney breasts, high external ground levels or earlier repairs that have changed how moisture moves through the structure.
Damp can become worse when unsuitable materials have been used, such as dense render, hard cement-based repairs, sealed internal finishes or plaster that prevents walls from drying naturally. This can lead to recurring damp patches, salt marks, damaged plaster, mould growth and moisture-related timber issues.
Nordic Damp Proofing looks at the full moisture pathway before recommending treatment. The aim is to understand how water is entering, how moisture is moving through the property and what needs to change to stop the problem returning.
For older homes, our guide on how moisture moves through period properties may be useful. You may also find our article on damp problems in cottages helpful.
Protect your property before damp, mould or timber problems get worse. Our friendly surveyors will inspect the issue, explain the findings clearly and recommend the most effective treatment for your home, rental property or commercial building.
