What Is Damp Proofing and Who Needs It?
Damp proofing is the work that stops moisture getting into your walls and floors, or stops it moving through them. It can mean a new damp proof course, a damp proof membrane, a waterproof coating, or a repair to a leak or a ventilation fault. The right fix depends on what is causing your damp. That is why a proper survey always comes first.
You may need damp proofing if you own an older home, rent out a property, run a business, or plan to buy a house with signs of damp. Damp proofing a house in Swindon often means solving more than one problem at once. We look at the whole picture, so you do not pay twice.

Damp Proofing Cost in Swindon
How much does damp proofing cost in Swindon? There is no single price, because every property is different. We will not quote a figure without seeing the problem. After your survey, you get a clear written quote for the job.
Your damp proofing cost in Swindon depends on:
- The type of damp: rising, penetrating or condensation
- The size of the affected area
- Wall type, thickness and condition
- The age and state of the property
- How easy it is to reach the work area
- How much replastering and decorating is needed
- Extra repairs, such as gutters, pointing or render
- Whether timber treatment is needed
Many damp proofing jobs are priced as one complete job, not by the hour. When you compare quotes, check what each one includes: the survey, replastering, making good and the guarantee. A cheap quote that leaves out replastering can cost more in the end. For a damp proofing quote in Swindon, call 01793 238738 or use our contact form.

Why Damp Is Common in Swindon Properties
Victorian and Edwardian Terraces
Solid brick walls, often with an old or failed damp proof course.
Railway Heritage Areas
Many have lasted over a century with worn pointing, render and gutters.
1930s and Post-War Semis
Cavity walls where debris or high ground levels can let damp across.
Newer Homes
Well sealed, so condensation and mould are the usual problems.
Damp Proofing for Old Houses in Swindon: Solid walls and lime mortar need to breathe, and the wrong materials can trap moisture inside. We choose treatments to suit your building. If your property is listed or in a conservation area, tell us first, because heritage rules may apply.
