What we see in Mossley homes

Mossley is mostly Victorian stone terraces climbing the valley sides, with pockets of post-war semis around Micklehurst and Roughtown and a handful of converted mills.

Solid stone walls with no cavity behave very differently to modern brick and block. They need to breathe, which changes the right answer for both plaster and render.

Common plastering issues

  • Original lime plaster on lath, loose after a century of movement
  • Walls that are nowhere near plumb and need dubbing out before skimming
  • Cement render trapped over stone, cracking and holding water in
  • Tall stairwells in three-storey weavers' cottages that need tower access

Common damp issues

  • Bridged damp courses where paths and yards have been raised over the years
  • Wind-driven rain on west-facing gables high up the valley
  • Penetrating damp through open pointing in exposed stonework
  • Condensation in small back bedrooms with no extract ventilation
