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 60 reviews Posted on Google Penny JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my second experience of work completed by Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. Having had an excellent experience the first time round, when I noticed what looked like woodworm in a completely different part of the house, who else to call but the damp busters at Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. As usual Natasha modelled excellence in customer service and Patrick made a thorough and professional survey with recommendations and an itemised quote. This was helpful as the problem proved to be not only woodworm but wet rot. The work conducted by Patrick, Louis, Aziz and colleague was to a very high standard with attention to detail through out. Everything was explained and communicated at relevant stages. I will be having some decoration by the Team once the plaster has dried, but wanted to write this now.Posted on Google Sophie WhartonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Always thankful to Natasha for being so helpful and always responding to emails so promptly. Your support, kindness, and dedication are truly appreciated and never go unnoticed. A big thank you as well to Patrick for taking on the work and for the ongoing support you provide to both me and my clients. Your help, understanding, and commitment have made such a positive difference. I really appreciate everything you both do. Thank you! Sophie @ AST Assistance xxPosted on Google Lynn Boyd-HallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a hugely positive experience with Prestige, having just found them online by looking at other reviews. Patrick was really thorough in his inspection and could easily have agreed with another (large national) company that had suggested a massive amount of work that needed to be done. Instead, he saw that really what was needed was a much quicker and cheaper solution. (I should add here that even if the bigger solution had been needed, Prestige's price was much cheaper than other quotes). The boys that came to do the job were really friendly, polite and worked hard to get everything done as quickly as possible and with as little disruption as possible. They answered all my questions quickly and even popped straight back in person when I had a query on something. I would highly recommend this company - Natasha in the office responds to everything really quickly and professionally, Patrick provides a thorough inspection and report and the boys that do the work are hardworking, friendly and professional. We were dreading this work being done and it ended up being something that felt very straightforward.Posted on Google Udayan PrasadTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Patrick's team did an excellent job tanking a bathroom/utility room which was very prone to damp and cold. They were always on time, very polite and considerate and completed the job on schedule. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Queen Ng'wananoguTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive experience with Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions. From start to finish, the service was professional, honest, and reassuring. Patrick was especially great throughout the process. He was extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and always happy to answer any questions I had. The work was completed efficiently and to a high standard, and you can tell they genuinely care about doing a good job rather than just rushing through it. Communication was clear, timings were kept, and everything was left clean and tidy afterwards. I’d definitely recommend Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy service. Thanks again to Patrick and the team!Posted on Google Brandon NelsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best in the game , quality service and affordable prices would definitely recommend itPosted on Google Ryan SloanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company to work with. Natasha and the team at Prestige Damp Proofing Solutions were professional, responsive and easy to deal with throughout the accreditation process. Communication was excellent and everything was handled quickly and efficiently. A pleasure to work with.Posted on Google 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 Google 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. 👍
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.
