Many Buckinghamshire properties have been altered, extended, replastered or renovated over time. Older walls, original mortar, chimney breasts, suspended timber floors and historic plaster can behave differently from modern construction.
Moisture may become trapped where dense render, sealed paint, hard plaster, modern plasterboard or previous damp repairs have been used without considering how the building needs to dry.
In older homes, damp may show as salt marks, staining, flaking paint, crumbling plaster, damp chimney breasts, rotten skirting boards, soft timber, cold wall areas or musty smells.
A proper inspection helps identify whether the issue is rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, trapped moisture, salt contamination, timber decay or a mixture of problems.

Low-level damp is one of the most common reasons people book a damp survey. It can appear around skirting boards, at the base of internal walls, around fireplaces, near doorways, in hallways or behind furniture.
In Buckinghamshire properties, damp at floor level may be caused by a failed, missing or bridged damp-proof course. However, it can also be caused by high patios, raised paths, driveways, soil against the wall, flower beds, blocked airbricks, leaking pipework, poor drainage, cavity bridging or rainwater entering from outside.
Common signs include:
Damp marks close to the floor
White salts on plaster
Peeling paint at low level
Crumbling or blown plaster
Soft or swollen skirting boards
Rotten timber
Musty smells in ground floor rooms
Decoration failing repeatedly
Where rising damp is confirmed, Nordic Damp Proofing can advise on rising damp treatment, damp-proof course installation and damp-proof injection where suitable.

Timber can become vulnerable when moisture remains in floors, roof spaces, walls, cellars or hidden structural areas.
Timber affected by damp may include joists, floorboards, skirting boards, door frames, lintels, roof timbers, staircases and cellar timbers.
Warning signs can include:
Springy floors
Soft timber
Rotten skirting boards
Musty smells
Visible flight holes
Fungal growth
Dark staining
Cracking timber
Timber breaking away
Floors feeling damp or uneven
The source of moisture must be identified before timber treatment is recommended. Treating the wood without correcting the damp conditions can allow the problem to continue.

Damp is often discovered during a house purchase, building survey, renovation, tenancy inspection, decoration project or after fitted furniture has been moved.
If damp is mentioned in a survey report, it is worth arranging a specialist damp inspection before assuming the scale of the problem or carrying out repairs.

We can assist with:
