Recognising Damp in Bolsover Properties

Common Signs of Damp

Signs of damp can vary, but common symptoms we see across Bolsover properties include:

  • Damp patches on interior walls
  • Peeling paint or bubbling plaster
  • Black mould near windows or corners
  • Salt deposits or white staining
  • Musty smells in certain rooms or spaces

If you’ve noticed any of these signs, don’t delay. Damp can spread quickly and cause both cosmetic and structural damage.

Rising Damp Treatment in Bolsover

Rising damp is a common issue in Bolsover’s older properties. Especially those close to the town centre, Carr Vale, or Palterton. These areas struggle where the original damp proof course has broken down or is missing altogether.

Our Bolsover rising damp services include:

  • Chemical damp proof course (DPC) & Damp Proof Membrane Installation in Bolsover Homes - We inject a high-strength damp proof cream or directly into the masonry to stop moisture from rising up the walls. Or apply a damp proof membrane. This is particularly effective for the solid stone and brick construction commonly found in Bolsover’s traditional homes.
  • Salt-Contaminated Plaster Removal & Replastering - After treating the rising damp, we remove plaster affected by salt deposits and reapply breathable, salt-resistant materials. Leaving your walls ready for decoration.
  • Timber Repairs and Skirting Replacement - We inspect and replace any timber floors or skirting boards affected by long-term moisture exposure. All of which are a common issue in Hillstown and Shuttlewood.
  • Ventilation Assessment - We often find that poor airflow contributes to rising damp issues. Our team provides ventilation upgrades for Bolsover homes where needed to speed drying and reduce recurrence.

Penetrating Damp Solutions in Bolsover

Bolsover’s climate and older building stock mean penetrating damp is a frequent problem. Especially in exposed elevations, chimney stacks, and around poorly maintained windows or doors.

Our penetrating damp treatments include:

  • Repointing and Brickwork Repairs in Bolsover -We restore damaged mortar and brickwork. Particularly in older stone properties near Castle Street or along Oxcroft Lane.
  • Water-Repellent Wall Treatments - We apply breathable exterior coatings to homes across Carr Vale and Shuttlewood. These protect walls from driving rain while allowing trapped moisture to escape.
  • Roofline and Chimney Repairs - We fix the common causes of penetrating damp in Bolsover homes. Cracked tiles, damaged flashings, leaky guttering, and degraded chimneys.
  • Internal Damp Restoration - Once the source is stopped, we strip back damaged plaster, allow the area to dry, and fully restore the interior finish.
