Damp Proofing in Wallingford

Wallingford's Saxon defensive walls, medieval bridge, and riverside setting on the Thames give the town a striking heritage — and a distinctive set of damp risks. Properties in St Leonard's, near the river, sit on a flood plain where ground-water can rise to within inches of the original damp-proof course. The Georgian and Victorian stock around the Market Place and Castle Lane often shows penetrating damp where lime mortar has been replaced with cement and the wall can no longer breathe. AP Damp Solutions has surveyed riverside properties across South Oxfordshire and tailors every treatment to the specific water-table and wall-build it finds.

We understand Thames-side properties — the difference between flood ingress, rising damp, and lateral penetration is not always obvious, and getting it wrong is expensive. Our professional damp surveys give you the right diagnosis on the first visit, and our long term written guarantees cover every installed treatment. Honest reporting means you only pay for work that actually solves the problem.
