Identify before repairing
A photograph helps prepare a visit but cannot establish the cause on its own. We consider the location, changes over time and any connection with rain, water use or ventilation before proposing work.

Damp and water ingress
We assess damp after rainfall, leaks, condensation and water ingress in communal areas. We consider where and when they occur, check the related installations and propose repairs based on the cause identified.

A proposal suited to the installation
Installations and entry points
Depending on the signs, we assess pipes, drains and accessible junctions around the affected area. If access to another flat or a different scope of work is needed, we explain this to the property manager for coordination.
Separate the cause from the finish
Painting or replacing a wall finish is not a substitute for assessing the cause. Work on the underlying issue and reinstatement of the finish are agreed specifically, without promising that one treatment will resolve every damp problem.
The issue
When to contact us
- Stains that appear or worsen after rainfall.
- Drips or damp near pipes, drainage stacks or outlets.
- Recurring condensation in spaces with limited ventilation.
- Damp returning after a surface repair.
Before the visit
Information that helps
- Dated photographs or a description of how the stain has changed.
- The affected area and any observed connection with rain or water use, without assuming a cause.
- Previous leaks, repairs or ventilation changes, and available access.
Do not open wall finishes or adjust installations to look for a leak. If water reaches electrical equipment, keep clear and report the risk.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can you identify the cause from a photograph alone?
A photograph provides useful context but cannot confirm the cause on its own. The affected area and related installations may need to be inspected.
Is repainting the wall enough?
Renewing the finish alone should not be taken as proof that the issue is resolved. The cause is assessed first; replacement of affected finishes can then be agreed where appropriate.
Is all roof or façade waterproofing included?
No. The particular issue and scope must be assessed. Complete roof, façade or structural work is not included in the first-hour rate or treated as a small repair.
