Heavy concentration of 1930s suburban semis in Edgware and Finchley, Edwardian villas in East Finchley, and the iconic Hampstead Garden Suburb (1907+). Hilly terrain with clay soil causes differential settlement and cracking. Many 1930s cavity walls have failed ties or bridged cavities. Basement conversions in Victorian stock add below-ground moisture risk.

Frequently Asked QuestionsRising and Penetrating Damp FAQs -------------------------------- ### Do you treat both rising damp and penetrating damp? Yes. They have different causes, so we diagnose first and then apply the right treatment for the specific issue. ### Can penetrating damp come from outside defects? Yes. Defective pointing, cracks, failed seals, gutters, and other envelope issues can all contribute to penetrating damp. ### Will repainting solve damp patches? Not if the moisture source remains. Cosmetic work alone usually fails when the root cause has not been fixed.
