Croydon property assessment
Match the damp repair to the building
Croydon has Victorian terraces, 1930s family houses, purpose-built flats, conversions and mixed residential-commercial buildings. Original DPC details, later extensions, concrete paths and modern render can all change the route moisture takes through a ground-floor wall.
Properties around London Road, Brighton Road, Addiscombe Road, South End and Wellesley Road vary widely in construction. A useful survey compares the inside damage with paving height, drainage, air bricks, rainwater goods and neighbouring ground levels.

Rising damp clues
Recurring damage that needs diagnosis
Rising damp is identified from the overall pattern, not from a handheld reading or one patch of discoloured paint.
- A defined band of deterioration above ground-floor skirtings
- Salts, bubbling paint or friable plaster returning after redecoration
- Timber skirtings loosening where masonry remains persistently damp
- Internal damage aligning with high paving, steps or external render
