A recent job we had Been contracted to do by a local council, ground floor suspended timber floor had gradually dropped, we cut a hole out to inspect the condition of the sub floor and discovered a 3.6 meter drop underneath! This was filled with water and the central beam taking the load had rotten on the end causing the floor to sag, we pumped out the water to gain access then removed the old floor and joists, installed a steel in replacement of the timber central beam, installed a sump pump in a pit with perforated drainage pipes, this pumps the water from under the floor into a drain above.

A recent inspection on an old pub converted to flats for an estate agent.

The tenant has had issues with mould in the bathroom since moving in, the room was freezing even with the heating on.

Relative humidity was high and surface temperatures below dew point, creating ideal conditions for condensation and mould growth.

We inspected this with thermal imaging and a hygrometer, to confirm

The extractor was also inadequate, coming on when the light turns on, and going off when light it turned off, we have recommended this be replaced with a DMEV extraction unit and correct flow rates set.

A recent job we got asked to carry out for a local council, tenant had been suffering with a few damp issues, after investigations had been carried out the source of the problem was narrowed down to under the floor in the hallway, after stripping back we encountered a tiny pinhole in the copper piping that had been in contact with the concrete, this had eroded and the pinhole in the pipe let out a small continuous stream of hot water, we stripped all the pipework back and replaced in plastic, cleared out the pipe channels and renewed the timber capping, this will be left to dry out to acceptable levels before being screeded and new floor coverings fitted

Condensation season is here now.

Do you suffer from humid air?
Condensation on windows?
Mould growth?

A lot of jobs we go to can be avoided by correctly ventilating your home properly.

During this colder weather when we turn to drying clothes inside, whacking the heating up, boiling pans, taking hotter showers ,draught proofing doors, windows etc, all this creates the perfect environment to trap moisture in the home and create ideal conditions for mould to thrive.

I am a firm believer in ventilation, I've created a ritual in my own home,even if it's freezing outside, I throw the windows open for 10 minutes,not only does it keep the home cleaner, it brings in fresh air, and most importantly gets rid of all that stale moisture laden air.

In Germany they swear by this, it's called Stoßlüften

🌬️ Stoßlüften: The Simple Trick for Fresh, Healthy Air! 🌿

Did you know that a few minutes of proper ventilation can make a huge difference in your home’s air quality? “Stoßlüften” — or shock ventilation — is a quick, effective way to refresh indoor air, reduce humidity, and prevent mold growth.

✅ How to do it:

Open all your windows wide for 5–10 minutes (don’t just tilt them!).

Do this 2–3 times a day, especially after cooking, showering, or waking up.

In winter, it’s even more efficient — the cold air pushes out stale, humid air fast!

💡 Benefits:

Lowers CO₂ levels and improves concentration

Prevents condensation and mold

Saves energy compared to keeping windows tilted for hours

Keeps your home fresh and comfortable

A recent job we got asked to inspect for a local council, the tenant had reported perished plaster and salt staining on the inside of the reveals of this window a while back, someone had then come in and hacked off the reveals, and re plastered with salt resistant plaster, fast forward to the rain coming back and the same issue has arisen again, after a brief inspection by us, we noticed the small gaps in the mortar on the outside of the window, even though these are only small, when coupled with the sheer amount of wind driven rain this building gets, water soon found it's way inside, we proposed getting the mortar repaired and once dry treating with a salt neutraliser internally before painting

🏡 Awaab’s Law – What You Need to Know

From 27 October 2025, new rules will require social housing landlords to act fast on damp and mould issues to keep tenants safe.

⏱ Key Timeframes

Emergency hazards: Investigate and make safe within 24 hours

Serious hazards: Investigate within 10 working days, fix issues within 5 days of the inspection

Written report: Tenants must be updated within 3 working days

🏠 For Landlords & Tenants

Landlords must take all reports of damp or mould seriously — no more blaming “lifestyle.”

Failure to act quickly could lead to legal action.

Tenants now have stronger rights to demand safe, healthy homes.

💧 At Damp-Out Ltd, we’re here to help landlords and tenants meet these new standards — with fast inspections, effective remediation, and professional reports to keep your property safe, compliant, and mould-free.

A job we started on yesterday, client asked us to fix issues with damp throughout the property, once the tenant had left whilst works are carried out we began stripping off wet bonding plaster to the affected areas to help dry out the walls, we installed fans and dehumidifiers and removed pipe boxings and part of the water/mould damaged kitchen, we removed the wet carpets in the affected areas too, once stripped down we discovered 3 separate leaks within the flat, Inlet pipe for the washing machine had a very small leak, the inlet for the toilet had a quick, consistent leak, and a small weep was also found on the plumbing leading up to the water meter, these 3 over time, have saturated the slab and as a consequence, the porous clinker blocks have soaked up moisture, in places right up to the ceiling, now that the leaks have been stopped and the walls stripped back they can now begin to dry out, we have also applied a liquid dpm to the floor.
