Damp problems in Leeds come in all forms, from damp walls and brickwork to mould growth in poorly ventilated homes. This makes it tricky for homeowners to identify the source of damp in their property. If you see any of the signs below we would recommend booking a damp survey with one of our qualified and accredited surveyors. The experts in our Leeds branch will determine the true source of your damp problem and recommend the best course of damp proofing treatment:

• Damp patches on walls or ceilings
• Damaged plaster or wallpaper with visible damp stains or salt deposits
• Mould growth on walls and around windows
• Damp patches or flooding in your basement or cellar
• Decaying or rotting skirting boards or beams
• Fungal growth on timber beams

Condensation is the most common form of damp that will affect properties in Leeds. Peter Cox offer a range of condensation solutions to combat the ventilation problems that result in water collecting on cold surfaces. Damp walls in rooms which are suffering from condensation will often see black mould growth which is both unsightly and potentially harmful to the health of anyone in the property.

The most frequent source of condensation problems is poor ventilation within the property. Our surveyors will establish the source of your ventilation issues, and put together a detailed report specifically tailored to your property.

Condensation and mould solutions offered by Peter Cox include ventilation systems, air quality monitoring and thermal plaster solutions.

Converting your basement or cellar can increase the value of your home and also add extra living space. Commercial properties can also benefit from the extra utility space that a renovated basement or cellar can provide. However, the key to any successful conversion is basement waterproofing.

The Leeds branch of Peter Cox follows BS regulations (BS8102). Our surveyors and technicians have years of experience and industry accredited qualifications. We offer basement and cellar waterproofing and tanking solutions for domestic and commercial properties, providing our customers with a safe dry underground space ready for any use.

Peter Cox can also offer structual waterproofing solutions for new build homes and large scale construction projects.

At Peter Cox we don’t just treat damp problems. If you have noticed timber damage in your property it could mean you have a problem with a woodworm infestation. Our woodworm specialists can conduct a full and comprehensive woodworm survey that will consisit of the following:

• Assess the scope of the infestation and the species of woodworm involved
• Determine if the woodworm larvae are active and actually require treatment
• Confirm any repairs needed required
• Check for associated timber problems such as wet rot or dry rot

If you have spotted any of the signs of woodworm in your property, contact our Leeds team today.
