Crosby and Waterloo face the sea with some of the finest Victorian and Edwardian housing on the Sefton coast, and those handsome villas and terraces work hard against the weather. Solid brick walls, ornate bays, tall chimneys: beautiful details that all give moisture a route in once pointing and flashings age.
Around Crosby we deal regularly with penetrating damp on exposed elevations and chimney breasts, rising damp in period walls whose original damp proof course has failed, and condensation mould in high-ceilinged rooms that are expensive to keep warm. Repointing with the right joint finish, breathable water repellent treatments, injected damp proof courses with a 10 year guarantee, and Thermocoat warm wall coatings cover most of what the housing stock throws at us.
For period properties we specify breathable materials, including lime render where a house predates 1920, so old walls can keep doing what they were designed to do. Assessments across Crosby, Waterloo, Blundellsands and Hightown, with a straight answer before anything is priced.
