After 15+ years working across Fulham - from Fulham Broadway and New Kings Road to the riverside terraces by Putney Bridge and Bishops Park - our family-run team has seen every moisture issue you can imagine. If your home or business is suffering damp, rising damp, or basement leaks, we provide qualified surveys, clear specifications, and durable, energy-efficient damp proofing solutions. Why Damp Proofing matters for Fulham homes and flats ---------------------------------------------------- Fulham has a mix of Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, converted basements, and modern riverside apartments around Fulham Reach and Imperial Wharf. That variety means different causes and solutions for damp. A Victorian terraced house on Lillie Road may show rising damp because the original damp-proof course has been bridged by higher garden levels. A riverside flat near Fulham Palace Road might experience penetrating damp from high groundwater or tidal influence. Without the right damp proofing, you get plaster damage, timber rot, mould, and higher heating bills because damp walls transmit heat more quickly. ### Local challenges in Fulham - High water table near the Thames leading to basement and cellar ingress. - Period properties with compromised or missing DPCs - common on streets like New Kings Road and North End Road. - Converted basements in Parsons Green and Fulham Broadway where waterproofing was inadequate in older renovations. - Condensation and high internal humidity in well-insulated modern apartments along the riverfront. Common damp issues we treat in Fulham properties ------------------------------------------------ We diagnose and treat a wide range of moisture problems. Typical complaints from Fulham clients include: - Rising damp in Victorian terraces - salt staining and plaster blow in ground floor rooms. - Basement leaks and flooding in cellars converted for living or storage on Lillie Road and Munster Road. - Penetrating damp from defective gutters, flashing, or brickwork on Fulham Road facades. - Condensation and mould in poorly ventilated flats around Fulham Broadway station. - Timber decay - dry rot and wet rot in joists and skirting boards due to long-term moisture. Our Damp Proofing process in Fulham - clear, professional, and compliant ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We follow a structured process that protects your property and gives you peace of mind. This is how we work on every Fulham job: 1. **Survey and diagnosis** - a qualified surveyor inspects the property, takes moisture readings with pin and non-contact meters, checks for hygroscopic salts, inspects external ground levels, and assesses ventilation. We always photograph problem areas and explain the likely causes. 2. **Specification and options** - we prepare a written specification that explains the recommended damp proofing system, timescales, and an optional insurance-backed guarantee where applicable. For structural waterproofing we design to BS 8102:2022 standards. 3. **Installation by experienced technicians** - our team installs the agreed system. Work is carried out tidily with dust control and respect for neighbours - a big plus in Fulham terraces. 4. **Plastering and handover** - after drying and salt treatment we re-plaster with suitable breathable or cementitious plasters, finish with skimming where required, and give you maintenance guidance. ### What we test and measure during the survey - Wall and floor moisture content (percent and relative humidity). - Presence and level of soluble salts from rising damp. - Ground levels and external drainage around the property. - Signs of timber decay and structural movement. Technical details - materials and techniques we use in Fulham ------------------------------------------------------------- We use systems chosen for longevity, energy efficiency, and minimal disruption. Below are the main technical solutions we employ and simple explanations so you understand why they are chosen. ### Damp-proof courses and injections For rising damp in terraced houses we install a physical damp-proof course or inject a chemical DPC cream into drilled holes along the mortar bed. The chemical injection creates a water-repellent barrier in the brickwork. After the DPC is in place we remove compromised plaster and apply a salt-neutralising primer before re-plastering with breathable lime plaster where the property requires traditional materials. ### Internal tanking and cavity drain membranes For basement waterproofing in Fulham, we use either cementitious tanking slurry applied to the positive side or a cavity drain membrane system fixed to walls and floors. The cavity drain membrane gives a channel for water to collected and routed to a discreet sump and pump system. For structural waterproofing and full basement conversions we design and install systems compliant with BS 8102:2022. ### Penetrating damp repairs Where water is entering from defects - such as failed pointing on Fulham Road facades, cracked brickwork, or blocked roof valleys - we make targeted repairs. That can include repointing with lime mortar, replacing flashings, and installing breathable external renders or low-VOC sealants where appropriate. ### Timber and rot treatments We remove and replace decayed timber, treat remaining timbers with boron-based or low-VOC preservatives as required, and repair joists and skirting. For dry rot we follow established remedial procedures - removing affected fabric, improving ventilation, and applying targeted fungicidal treatments. ### Eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient methods We're committed to reducing environmental impact. Examples of the materials and approaches we use in Fulham include: - Low-VOC waterproofing sealants and breathable primers to keep indoor air quality healthy. - Recycled mineral wool or sheep wool insulation in internal linings to improve thermal performance while using recycled or natural fibres. - Thermally insulated tanking and cavity membranes to reduce heat loss through underground basement walls. - Salt-neutralising renders that allow walls to breathe, preventing trapped moisture and reducing long term decoration cycles. Case studies - real Damp Proofing jobs we've done in Fulham ----------------------------------------------------------- Here are a few examples from our work in Fulham to give you a sense of what we do. ### Victorian terrace on New Kings Road - rising damp We were called to a ground floor flat where plaster was blistering and skirting boards were rotting. Survey showed rising damp and high salt content. We injected a chemical damp-proof course, removed contaminated plaster, applied a salt inhibitor, and replastered with a lime-based breathable plaster. The tenant reported the room stayed warmer and paint failure stopped within months. ### Basement conversion on Lillie Road - waterproofing and insulation For a basement conversion being completed near Fulham Broadway we installed a cavity drain membrane, routed to a hidden sump and battery-backed pump, and lined the walls with recycled mineral wool insulation in a timber frame. The client now has a dry, warm room that conforms to building control and BS 8102:2022 recommendations. ### Riverside flat near Bishops Park - penetrating damp A riverside flat on Fulham Palace Road was suffering from penetrating damp during heavy storms. We repaired external pointing, replaced failed mortar with a lime-rich mix, replaced guttering, and applied a breathable external render in selected areas. The internal damp levels dropped and the flat stopped smelling of damp after the repairs.
