MAIN CAUSES OF DAMP
If you notice black mould or mildew patches on any internal walls, ceilings or floors, you should immediately contact a damp specialist and get this resolved for your own health. Damp can be caused by many factors, but the most common are condensation and humidity, leaks, and rising or penetrating damp.
If you have patches of mould in a specific area, this could mean you have a leak, in which case we would recommend you immediately contact one of our leak detection specialists to stop it quickly and effectively.
Condensation happens when warm air filled with high moisture meets a cold surface. Addressing condensation can be time-consuming, but it is relatively straightforward. You just have to reduce the amount of moisture in the air and increase the ventilation of your property (this can be achieved if you open windows more frequently and use dehumidifiers).
Rising or penetrating damp issues are more complex and require a professional damp course treatment.
Common signs that you might have damp in your property include:
- Decaying wood, such as skirting boards (typical for rising damp)
- Visible damp patches
- Black or green mould spores
- Peeling, cracked or blistering paint
- A musty smell
Common Damp Issues:
- Damp & Mould Inspections
- Damp Proofing
- Leak Detection
- Redecoration of The Damp-Affected Areas
- Condensation and Mould
- Moisture Readings

Frequently asked questions
1. What is damp proofing?
Damp and mould can cause many issues in your property, including health issues. Damp proofing is a process that prevents the dampness from transmitting up your walls and damaging your property. Damp proofing is required if your home has rising damp (when moisture rises from the ground up via
capillary action) or if it has penetrating damp (when moisture is moving through the exterior of your property to your interior walls).
Through damp proofing, we prevent moisture from seeping in and causing more damage. This can be done either by painting the walls with a waterproof sealant, installing a drainage system, using a damp-proof course (DPC) etc. The damp proofing solution you will require depends on the severity of the problem and your type of property.
Damp proofing is essential to prevent mould growth and protect the structural integrity of your property as well as the health and safety of the occupants. Damp proofing is not a job that you can do on your own and that’s why we recommend booking our professional North London damp services so our damp specialists can assess the problem and recommend the most effective solution.
2. Is it unhealthy to live in a damp house?
Yes, according to the NHS “if you have damp and mould in your home you’re more likely to have respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma. Damp and mould can also affect the immune system”. It’s absolutely vital that you address the damp issues as fast as you can. Consult our professional North London damp experts who can guide you towards the best approach for your specific situation.
3. Can you just pain over damp?
We would strongly advise you not to paint over damp. This will not address the root cause of the damp and the issue will most likely reappear shortly and cause more damage in the long run. There is no quick fix when it comes to damp problems. Consult one of our damp surveyors in North London who can guide you towards the best approach for your specific situation and give you a long-lasting solution.

I still remember the first time I used Handyhumans. I was desperately looking for a a contractor who I could trust to an urgent repair in a property. I left a message for a callback on a Saturday afternoon. They did within half hour. Their respo nse was helpful, informative, I felt 100% reassured that i would receive a good service. Handyhumans delivers a great maintenance service that is transparent in scoping work required, invoicing and payment is straightforward with evidence of works completed. Well done to you and your team.

I approached Handy Humans 18 months ago to look at the work required at my parents flat. There was mould issues in two bedrooms from a previous flood on the flat above.
The work involved hacking off plaster, damp treatment, replastering and skimming one wall. The wallpaper was removed & all walls & ceilings were painted including all the woodwork.
It’s a true sign of a professional job when they remove the radiator to carry out the painting.
They were very understanding and patient with us in getting the work agreed with the council & insurance company.
The work was carried out over two visits to allow us to install new flooring and relocate furniture between rooms. Again Handy Humans were very accommodating with this request.
The work was carried out by a team of professionals who I highly recommend.
I have a very demanding job & the response times via email was very impressive and Vanessa was great to deal with throughout the length process.
Well done Handy Humans
