Damp Proofing Wall Solutions
Damp affecting walls can occur in properties of any age and, if left untreated, may lead to damage to plasterwork, internal finishes, timber elements, and external brickwork. At Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions, we focus on identifying the exact cause of moisture affecting your walls and providing the correct damp proofing walls solutions to ensure long-term protection of your property.
We address all common causes of damp affecting walls, including:
Roof-Related Wall Damp — Moisture penetrating walls due to slipped or broken roof tiles, damaged roof coverings, or poorly maintained roof structures.
Defective Flashing & Wall Junctions — Water ingress caused by failed lead flashing around chimneys, abutments, and roof-to-wall connections.
Blocked or Faulty Rainwater Goods — Overflowing or leaking gutters and downpipes allowing water to soak into external walls over time.
Cracked Render & Masonry Near Rooflines — Rainwater entering through damaged external finishes, cracked pointing, or porous brickwork close to the roof level.
Chimney & Parapet Wall Damp — Moisture penetration through exposed chimney stacks or parapet walls where protective coatings have deteriorated.

EXCELLENT Based on 51 reviews Posted on Emily SugarmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patrick, Stuart and Andy couldn't have done a better job. They worked very hard, long hours, in difficult conditions, and were honest and compassionate when it came to cost and the work that needed doing. We can't thank them enough and would use them any time in the future.Posted on joel brookesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patrick came to my home to survey the damp & mould concerns we had. From enquiry, his response time was very quick and was able to come see us within the week. He was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. More than anything else, Patrick showed integrity by offering us advice on some practical changes we can make in the home to help with the moisture, as opposed to try and upsell us a solution we may not need. After a few weeks of following Patrick's advice, we have seen improvements, proving to us he knows what he is doing! Would have no problem recommending Patrick and Prestige to anyone. 👍Posted on Saori TomizawaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

FAQs
Do I need a survey for damp proofing walls?
Yes. Wall damp is often misdiagnosed. A professional survey identifies the true cause before recommending any work.
Are your surveys free?
No. All surveys are paid and carried out by qualified specialists. This ensures an unbiased assessment and a detailed written report.
Will you fix the roof as part of the treatment?
If roofing defects are identified, we will advise on required repairs. Damp-proofing treatments are only applied once external water ingress issues are resolved.
How long does treatment take?
Timescales vary depending on the cause. Some solutions involve minor repairs, while others may require drying time and follow-up works.
Is there much disruption?
Most investigations are non-invasive. Any recommended works are clearly explained in advance to minimise disruption.
Do you provide guarantees?
Yes. Damp-proofing treatments are typically guaranteed for 20+ years, and waterproofing systems for up to 10 years, all recognised by mortgage lenders.
