Damp Proofing Bletchley
Long before Milton Keynes, Bletchley was a Victorian railway town, and its older terraces, the Fenny Stratford core and the later overspill and new-town estates all throw up different damp problems. We diagnose the real cause, rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation, and put it right. Survey-led, with a written 10 year guarantee.

Damp in Bletchley Homes
Bletchley is older and more varied than the new town it now sits within. It grew from a hamlet into a busy Victorian railway town after the railway arrived in 1845 and the junction with the Oxford to Cambridge line formed, and the brick terraces of Central Bletchley, built to house railway workers, are still here. In older terraces like these the damp proof course can be bridged, failed or missing altogether, which lets genuine rising damp up the wall, so they need a different approach to a modern house.
Next to them is the old core of Fenny Stratford on Watling Street, with its period property and the Grand Union Canal running through the southern edge, and beyond that the post-war story: the London overspill housing of the Lakes Estate and the grid-road estates that followed once Milton Keynes absorbed Bletchley in 1967. In those cavity-walled and system-built homes the problem is far more often penetrating damp or condensation than rising damp.
The ground matters too. This is Oxford clay country, the brickmaking clay once dug at Brickfields and Newton Longville, and clay drains poorly and shifts with the seasons, cracking walls so water tracks in. Reclaimed brickworks land and property near the canal, the River Ouzel and Water Eaton Brook can also see a higher water table. With that range of property and ground, the only reliable starting point is a proper survey.
