Damp in Solihull Homes
Solihull's old town centre around the High Street and St Alphege Church has timber-framed and Victorian solid-walled buildings, where an original damp proof course was never fitted or has long since failed, making genuine rising damp a common finding.
The leafy interwar suburbs of Olton, Elmdon and Castle Bromwich border are largely mock-Tudor and brick semis, where penetrating damp through worn render, poor pointing and blocked cavity walls is the more usual culprit.
Chelmsley Wood, Smith's Wood and other post-war estates often show condensation and mould linked to sealed windows and modern insulation trapping moisture indoors, and older lower-ground rooms or cellars near the River Blythe sometimes need a proper waterproofing survey rather than a standard damp course. Whatever the property's age, the right starting point is always a damp survey.

What Our Customers Say
Genuine reviews from Advanced Damp customers.
“Five-star service from Lionel.
“The team was excellent from the Sales guy Juan, to the survey guy Wil, to the completion of work by Kye. Excellent all round.”
“The surveyor was very thorough, explaining the cause of the problem and what needed to be done. The team that came to fix it was polite and cleaned up after themselves, which I really appreciated. It’s been a few months now, and the damp hasn’t returned. Would definitely recommend them.”
“Clear and precise service. A few hiccups here and there, but always quick to respond, correct, and ensure that we were satisfied.”
