What is Damp Proofing?
Damp proofing prevents moisture from entering your home through the walls, floors or roof. It typically uses materials like membranes or sealants to stop issues such as rising damp, condensation or water intrusion.
For homeowners, effective damp proofing protects the building’s structure, helps prevent damage to plaster and timber, and reduces the risk of mould.

Rising Damp Solutions In Newcastle
The most effective way to treat rising damp is by installing a high performance silicone based damp proof course within the affected walls, creating a durable barrier that prevents ground moisture from travelling upwards. Where necessary, any damaged or salt contaminated plaster is removed and replaced with specialist renovating plaster or a cavity membrane system to help manage moisture and encourage the walls to dry properly.
Every rising damp treatment we carry out is supported by a 25 year guarantee, giving homeowners across Newcastle lasting confidence that their property is protected. Our proven solutions help create a dry, comfortable and healthier home for years to come.

Penetrating Damp Solutions in Newcastle
If you have spotted damp patches, mould growth or water stains on your walls or ceilings, your property may be affected by penetrating damp.

To provide added protection against future moisture problems, we can also apply a premium water repellent treatment to your property’s external brickwork or masonry.

How do I know if my home in Newcastle needs damp proofing?
Common signs of damp include peeling wallpaper, damp patches, mould growth, musty smells, flaking plaster and tide marks on internal walls. Newcastle’s wet weather and older housing stock can make some properties more susceptible to moisture problems. A professional damp survey will identify the underlying cause and recommend the most suitable treatment, helping to prevent further damage and maintain a dry, healthy home.
What types of damp are most common in Newcastle properties?
Homes across Newcastle can experience rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation, with each requiring a different solution. Older terraced properties may be more vulnerable to rising damp, while driving rain can contribute to penetrating damp. Condensation is often caused by poor ventilation. Home Energy Save GB carries out detailed surveys to identify the exact cause before recommending the most effective treatment for your property.
Can damp proofing help prevent mould in my Newcastle home?
Yes. If mould is being caused by excess moisture entering your property, damp proofing can help eliminate the source of the problem. Once the underlying cause has been resolved and affected areas have dried out, the conditions that allow mould to grow are greatly reduced. Improving ventilation may also be recommended where condensation is contributing to the issue, creating a healthier indoor environment.
How long does damp proofing take to complete?
The length of a damp proofing project depends on the size of the affected area and the treatment required. Smaller jobs can often be completed within a day, while more extensive work may take several days. Your surveyor will explain the expected timescale before work begins, allowing you to understand the process and prepare for any temporary disruption within your home.
