Why Oldham Property Owners Choose Our Damp Survey Services

Oldham’s distinctive architectural heritage and varied property types present specific damp challenges. Our surveyors have extensive knowledge in addressing issues across the borough’s diverse housing stock:

  • Mill Workers’ Cottages: Oldham’s traditional stone-built terraces often face particular issues with penetrating damp and inadequate original damp proofing
  • Inter-war Semi-Detached Homes: Common throughout areas like Chadderton and Royton, these properties frequently experience cavity wall issues and bridged damp courses
  • Hillside Properties: Homes in elevated areas like Saddleworth can face unique challenges from driving rain and ground water movement

We provide customised, practical solutions that address the root causes of your damp problems, preserving both the character and condition of your Oldham property.
