Damp Proofing Services in Ealing, W5 & W13
Advanced Damp provides the full range of damp proofing services across Ealing and West London. From a simple rising damp injection to full cavity drain membrane systems, our qualified technicians carry out all work to current British Standards — with long-term written guarantees on every installation.
Rising Damp Treatment
Chemical injection damp-proof course to BS 6576, with replastering using renovating plaster. Ealing has an exceptionally high proportion of Victorian and Edwardian housing — particularly in W5 and W13 — making failed DPCs one of the most common issues we treat across the borough.
Learn more →Penetrating Damp
Identification and treatment of water ingress through external walls, chimneys, parapet walls and rooflines. Particularly common in Ealing's period properties around Ealing Common, Pitshanger Village and West Ealing, where original lime mortar has often been replaced with hard cement pointing.
Learn more →Condensation Control
Diagnosis and treatment of condensation-related damp and black mould. We install positive input ventilation (PIV) systems and advise on long-term moisture management for Ealing properties — particularly relevant in converted flats and basement-level rooms.
Learn more →Dry Rot Treatment
Full timber survey, eradication and replacement. Fungicide treatment to stop dry rot spreading through structural timbers. Prompt treatment is essential as dry rot can spread rapidly if left unchecked.
Learn more →Wet Rot Treatment
Identification of the moisture source, timber treatment with fungicide and replacement of badly affected timbers. Common in Ealing's older terraced properties where original timber windows, soffits and fascias have not been maintained.
Learn more →Woodworm Treatment
Chemical spray treatment to eliminate all stages of the woodworm lifecycle. Prevalent in period properties and Victorian terraces across Ealing, particularly in properties with original untreated roof timbers and floor joists.

How Our Damp Survey Process Works
Our structured, technical approach ensures the correct solution is identified and specified from the outset — so you only pay for what your property actually needs.
Technical Survey & Inspection
A qualified damp specialist visits your Ealing property and carries out a thorough inspection — assessing construction type, ground levels, moisture patterns and structural factors.
Accurate Diagnosis
Using professional moisture profiling, salt analysis and specialist inspection methods, we identify the root cause of the damp — not just the visible symptoms on the surface.
Clear Written Report
You receive a detailed written report outlining our findings, the cause of the damp, and our recommended treatment plan — with a fixed price quote before any work is agreed.
Specialist Installation
Our trained technicians carry out the agreed treatment to manufacturer specifications and British Standards, with a long-term written guarantee on all completed work.
Damp Problems in Ealing Properties
Ealing is one of West London's most architecturally varied boroughs — from the grand Victorian and Edwardian villas along Montpelier Road and Mount Park Road in W5, to the tightly packed terraced streets of Hanwell (W7) and the 1930s semis around Northfields (W13). Each property era comes with its own damp vulnerabilities.
Ealing is home to some of West London's finest Victorian and Edwardian housing stock — from the grand double-fronted semis along Montpelier Road and Mount Park Road in W5, to the tightly packed Victorian terraces of Hanwell (W7) and the 1930s semis around Northfields (W13). These property types each carry specific damp vulnerabilities. Solid-walled Victorian construction has no cavity, meaning moisture can travel directly through the masonry. Edwardian properties often have original slate or bitumen DPCs that have deteriorated after over a century of use. The 1930s stock in West Ealing frequently suffers from condensation and failed cavity trays above lintels.
Common signs of damp in Ealing homes:
- Tide marks or white salt deposits on ground floor walls
- Peeling wallpaper or bubbling paint at low level
- Musty smell in ground floor rooms or cellars
- Black mould on walls, ceilings or around window frames
- Crumbling or hollow-sounding plaster
- Wet patches appearing on walls after heavy rainfall
- Rotting skirting boards or softness underfoot near external walls
