Plasterers in Droylsden& damp proof specialists.
Droylsden sits at the Manchester end of Tameside and we work there regularly — mostly re-skims, ceilings and damp in the older terraced housing.
What we see in Droylsden homes
Droylsden is a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces along the older streets, inter-war semis around Fairfield and Littlemoss, and newer development towards the Ashton canal and Manchester border.
The terraces are solid brick with slate damp courses, while the semis are cavity built. They fail in completely different ways, so the same damp symptom can have two very different causes on the same street.
Common plastering issues
- Whole-house re-skims where decades of patching have left uneven walls
- Artex ceilings in the inter-war and post-war housing
- Knock throughs between front and back rooms in terraces
- Plaster damage left behind after damp or a leak has been fixed
Common damp issues
- Slate damp courses at the end of their life in pre-1920 terraces
- Damp courses bridged by later paths, drives and render
- Penetrating damp through failed pointing on exposed elevations
- Condensation and mould in sealed-up cavity-built semis
