Local knowledge, Hyndburn housing stock

Hyndburn has a lot of older terraced homes from the cotton-mill era, many with solid walls and no cavity. Many were built without a damp-proof course, or have one that has failed with age. Add the area's high rainfall and the problems we see most are rising damp at the base of walls, penetrating damp through weathered brick and stonework, and condensation in rooms that were never designed with modern ventilation. Finding the real cause first means you only pay for the work that is actually needed.

What Hyndburn customers say

 
"Dry rot and rising damp" - 10 / 10 Job location: Rishton (BB1) - Verified reviewer
Joel from DampCav had previously done damp proofing for me, so when my kitchen floor started dipping, I contacted them again. Joel quickly diagnosed dry rot, and he, Josh, and their apprentice Izaac worked hard to replace the joists and floorboards. Their attention to detail was excellent — they even refitted my skirting boards. As a single mother, I really appreciated how comfortable and respected they made me feel. Highly recommend DampCav for their expertise and professionalism.

"Rising Damp in the living room" - 10 / 10 Job location: Accrington (BB5) - Verified reviewer
Honestly couldn't explain how happy we are with DampCav. From the moment we contacted them to the work carried out and completed. Such a ridiculously stressful time for us was made calm, and easy by the work and reassurance of Joel, Kay, John and Aiden. Genuinely lovely people whom I couldn't recommend enough. They fixed our rising damp, installed a new vent in the kitchen and downstairs bathroom, fixed our floor issue in the front entrance to name just a few things they did. 10 isn't a high enough rating. Thank you a million times.
