Damp Proofing & Mould Removal Specialists in Enfield
Enfield is one of the most varied boroughs for housing stock in North London: Victorian terraces in Chase Side, Edwardian semis in conservation areas, 1930s semis throughout the suburbs, and large post-war estates. Each building type produces different moisture problems. We survey every property individually before recommending anything.
Why Damp & Mould Solutions
Damp Specialists Who Know Enfield Properties
Central Enfield’s Victorian terraces were built without a damp proof course, and those that have one often have a failed original slate DPC. Commercial units throughout Enfield Town frequently experience rising damp through solid concrete floors. We know how Enfield’s buildings behave across every era.

Our services in Enfield
Damp Proofing, Surveys & Mould Removal Across Enfield
We treat every common cause of damp in Enfield residential and commercial properties. Each service begins with a proper diagnosis — we don’t recommend treatment until we know the cause.
Rising Damp Treatment in Enfield
Rising damp is common across Enfield’s older housing stock — particularly pre-1940 properties where original DPCs have failed or are absent. It presents as tide marks, salt deposits, and damp lower walls up to around one metre.
- Chemical DPC injection — CSRT-specified method
- Tanking and replastering with damp-resistant render
- 10-year guarantee on completed works
- Salt removal and finishing included
Damp Survey in Enfield
A professional damp survey is the only reliable way to distinguish rising damp from penetrating damp or condensation. We use calibrated moisture meters, boroscopes, and hygrometers to map your Enfield property accurately.
- CSRT-qualified surveyor — independent, not sales-led
- Written report with photographs and moisture readings
- Suitable for home purchases, mortgage requirements, and insurance
- Fixed-price quotation provided where treatment is required
Penetrating Damp in Enfield Properties
Penetrating damp — caused by defective pointing, cracked render, damaged roofing, or leaking gutters — appears as damp patches following rainfall. Common throughout Enfield’s period and post-war stock.
- Source identified before any treatment is carried out
- External masonry repair, pointing, and waterproof coatings
- Internal tanking where required
- No surface-only treatments without root-cause repair
Mould Removal & Condensation Control in Enfield
Black mould in Enfield flats and converted houses is almost always caused by condensation and inadequate ventilation — not structural damp. We treat the mould and address the root cause so it doesn’t return.
- Professional mould removal and anti-fungal treatment
- Positive input ventilation (PIV) for whole-home humidity control
- Ventilation assessment and fan installation
- Landlord documentation provided on request

Older properties in Enfield with suspended timber floors can be affected by damp-related decay. Wet rot and dry rot left untreated will compromise structural integrity. We carry out full diagnosis and treatment.
- Wet rot and dry rot identification and eradication
- Woodworm treatment and preventive application
- Joist and floor repair or replacement where required
- Moisture source addressed as part of the same works
