Damp Proofing & Property Care in Egham
Egham has Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the station and High Street, inter-war semi-detached homes, post-war estates and larger detached properties in Englefield Green. Much of the area sits close to the Thames flood plain, and the student and rental market around Royal Holloway adds condensation and mould to the usual damp problems of older housing.
Egham and the surrounding area sit close to the Thames flood plain, so cellars, lower ground floors and ground-floor walls can be affected by high groundwater after prolonged rain. A survey looks at ground levels, drainage and ventilation as well as the walls themselves before suggesting any treatment.
Egham has a lot of rented and shared housing, including homes used by students, where cooking, drying washing indoors and limited ventilation lead to condensation and black mould. Separating condensation from rising or penetrating damp is the first step, because each one needs a different answer.
