This wall was suffering from mould and staining caused by a localised cold spot below the window.

Thermal imaging showed the area was still noticeably colder, even on a warm sunny day. During winter, this section would be more likely to drop below dew point, causing condensation to form on the surface and mould to develop.

We removed the affected plaster, fitted thermal board to help reduce the cold spot, and skimmed the area ready for decoration.

This was a cold bridge and condensation issue not penetrating damp or a leak.

A problematic area for over 20 years.
This area had previously had chimney pointing, the chimney removed and the roof patched in, flashing works, felt repairs, re-skimming, sanding back, and Zinsser applied — yet the problem still kept returning.

The reason is that hygroscopic salts do not just disappear. Once plaster is contaminated, those salts can continue to attract atmospheric moisture and cause recurring damp-looking patches and decoration failure, even when there is no active roof leak.

In this case, the likely cause of the repeated failure was salt-contaminated plaster linked to the original chimney, not necessarily an ongoing roofing defect. This is why these areas need proper remedial work, not just covering over.

Small before and after on this previously damp, salt-contaminated area.
Salts cannot just be scraped back and decorated over, as they will continue to come back through and spoil the finish. This area was treated properly and reinstated the right way, leaving it sound and ready for decoration.

This project started with damp around a redundant chimney.
We handled everything from start to finish, repaired the flashing, removed the salt-contaminated plaster, built the media wall, and finished it off with Venetian plaster for a clean, high-end result.

A recent garage conversion we attended revealed multiple defects consistent with poor detailing and suspected DIY workmanship.

Issues identified included timbers laid directly onto a cold concrete floor, roof leaks, defective guttering discharging onto the external walls, an incorrectly positioned damp proof course, dot and dab plasterboarding bridging moisture, and a floor-to-wall junction allowing damp ingress.

The owner was advised to rectify the relevant building defects, as these issues were materially contributing to moisture ingress and compromising the performance of the conversion.

Our works were then carried out accordingly to address the internal damp-related issues.

All qualifying remedial works carried out by Gold Standard Damp Proofing are backed by our 20-year guarantee.

For rising damp, condensation, moisture ingress, or any damp related issues contact Gold Standard Damp Proofing for a professional diagnosis and quotation.

Another damp job completed ✅

Various areas affected by damp and salt contamination throughout the property have now been treated and prepared, leaving the surfaces ready for redecoration.

We also added vents into the chimney, as airflow in unused chimneys is vital in helping to prevent moisture build-up and future damp problems.

A new chemical damp proof course was also installed around the property, as requested by the surveyor.

All qualifying remedial work comes with a 20-year guarantee.

If you are dealing with damp, peeling paint, condensation, or any other moisture-related issues, get in touch for honest advice, a professional survey and a free no-obligation quote.

No job too big or too small.

This job was completed over the weekend. After inspection it was clear the original physical damp proof course had not been installed fully around the wall, allowing moisture to rise through the masonry.

A new chemical damp proof course was drilled and injected to form a new barrier and stop the rising damp. Salt neutraliser was then applied, and the area reinstated ready for painting in a few days.

If you’re experiencing damp issues, feel free to get in touch for a diagnosis and quote.
