Manchester is a city that is no stranger to damp and wet weather and this means damp problems come in all forms. Damp walls caused by cracks in brickwork or condensation and mould growth caused by poor ventilation are common problems.
This variety of damp issues makes it tricky for homeowners to correctly diagnose the source of damp . If you see any of the signs below we would recommend booking a survey with one of our qualified and accredited surveyors. The experts in our Manchester branch will determine the true source of your damp problem and recommend the best course of damp proofing treatment:
Condensation is the most common form of damp that will affect properties in Manchester and Peter Cox offer a range of condensation solutions to combat water collecting around windows, black mould growth and damp walls.
Surfaces in rooms which are suffering from condensation will begin to germinate black mould. This can prove problematic for people who are more vulnerable such as asthmatics, children and the elderly due to reduced air quality
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.
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:
If you have spotted any of the signs of woodworm in your property, contact our Macnhester team today.
