Damp Proofing & Mould Removal Specialists in Wood Green
Wood Green spans Victorian terraces in the Bounds Green and Alexandra Park conservation corridors, 1930s semi-detached properties along the main residential streets, commercial parade units throughout the High Road, and newer flat developments near the retail centre. Damp presents differently in each — and treating one type as another is expensive and ineffective. We survey every property before recommending anything.
Why Damp & Mould Solutions
Damp Specialists Who Know Wood Green Properties
Wood Green’s Victorian stock in the Bounds Green area sits within conservation designations that restrict some external treatments. 1930s semis throughout the area have original DPCs approaching 90 years old. Commercial units along the High Road frequently have solid concrete floors with rising damp. And modern flats near the Heartlands development suffer condensation from energy-efficient construction.

Our services in Wood Green
Damp Proofing, Surveys & Mould Removal Across Wood Green
We treat every common cause of damp in Wood Green residential and commercial properties. Each service begins with a proper diagnosis — we don’t recommend treatment until we know the cause.

- Tanking and replastering with damp-resistant render
- 10-year guarantee on completed works
- Salt removal and finishing included

- 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 Wood Green Properties
Penetrating damp — caused by defective pointing, cracked render, damaged roofing, or leaking gutters — appears as damp patches following rainfall. Common throughout Wood Green’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
