Damp proofing in Scunthorpe
Damp surveys and damp proofing in Scunthorpe.
We cover Scunthorpe and the rest of North Lincolnshire from our base across the Humber in Hessle. The damp problems here follow the town’s housing: older terraced streets with solid walls, and plenty of inter-war and post-war homes where condensation is the usual culprit.

Local housing
Scunthorpe’s housing and why it gets damp.
Scunthorpe grew quickly from the late nineteenth century with the iron and steel industry, and areas such as Crosby and Frodingham still have long streets of terraced houses built for the workforce. Like terraces elsewhere, they have solid brick walls, so failed pointing, leaking gutters and raised yards are common causes of damp.
Much of the rest of the town is inter-war and post-war housing, including large council-built estates. In these homes we most often find condensation and black mould, made worse by replacement windows without trickle vents and weak extraction in kitchens and bathrooms.
