Nordic Damp Proofing provides professional damp investigation, damp treatment, mould control, timber preservation and waterproofing services across Amersham and the surrounding Buckinghamshire area.
We work with homeowners, landlords, letting agents, property managers and commercial clients who need clear advice on damp, mould, condensation, water ingress, timber decay or failed internal finishes.

Whether you have mould around windows, damp walls, peeling paint, salt marks, swollen skirting boards, musty smells, damp chimney breasts, wet timber or moisture returning after previous repairs, we can inspect the cause and recommend the right next step.
A damp survey is the best starting point when damp, mould or moisture damage keeps appearing inside a property.
A mark on a wall does not always mean the same thing from one building to the next. Damp near skirting boards may be caused by rising damp, but it could also be linked to raised outside ground, leaking pipework, poor drainage, condensation, blocked airbricks or rainwater entering through external walls.
Our damp surveys in Amersham are designed to identify the source before treatment is recommended.
During the inspection, we may assess:
Where damp is visible inside the property
Whether moisture patterns suggest rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation
External walls, brickwork, render and pointing
Gutters, downpipes and roofline details
Chimney breasts, old flues and staining
Patios, paths, steps, flower beds and soil levels
Airbricks and sub-floor ventilation
Skirting boards, floorboards and joists
Basements, cellars and lower-ground spaces
Existing plaster, salts and previous repair work
Any signs of wet rot, dry rot or woodworm
Where the cause is not straightforward, our survey and diagnostic services can help investigate the issue in more detail.
Amersham has a varied property mix, from older homes in Old Amersham to cottages, town houses, larger detached homes, converted buildings, apartments, rental properties and commercial premises.
Because property types vary, damp problems can appear in different ways. An older building may need checks for solid walls, salt contamination, old chimney breasts, timber floors and previous plaster repairs. A modern home may have mould caused by condensation and limited airflow. A property with a raised patio or garden level may have damp at the base of walls where moisture is being held against the building.
You can explore all treatments on our our services page.
Timber can become vulnerable when damp remains around floors, walls, cellars, roofs or hidden structural areas.
In Amersham properties, damp may affect joists, floorboards, skirting boards, staircases, roof timbers, lintels, door frames, cellar timbers and built-in timber.
Warning signs can include:
Springy floors
Soft or crumbling timber
Rotten skirting boards
Musty smells
Visible flight holes
Fungal growth
Dark staining
Cracking timber
Timber breaking away
Floors feeling damp or uneven
The important step is to identify why timber is damp. Treating the wood without correcting the moisture source can allow the problem to continue.
