Damp Proofing & Mould Removal Specialists in Tottenham
Tottenham’s housing ranges from dense Victorian terraces in Bruce Grove and the Seven Sisters Road corridors to large post-war council estates and commercial parade units. Damp presents differently across the area — rising damp in Victorian terraces, thermal-bridge condensation in tower block flats, and penetrating damp from flat-roof extensions in council-built properties. We diagnose accurately across all building types.
Why Damp & Mould Solutions
Damp Specialists Who Know Tottenham Properties
Bruce Grove’s Victorian stock was built for single-family occupation and is now predominantly subdivided — creating the familiar pattern of bridged DPCs and condensation in lower flats. Large Haringey council estates have specific condensation challenges: concrete construction with high thermal mass and low insulation creates cold internal surfaces. Commercial units on Tottenham High Road often have concrete floors with no DPC.

Our services in Tottenham
Damp Proofing, Surveys & Mould Removal Across Tottenham
We treat every common cause of damp in Tottenham 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 Tottenham
Rising damp is common across Tottenham’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 Tottenham
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 Tottenham 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 Tottenham Properties
Penetrating damp — caused by defective pointing, cracked render, damaged roofing, or leaking gutters — appears as damp patches following rainfall. Common throughout Tottenham’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

- Ventilation assessment and fan installation
- Landlord documentation provided on request
