Professional damp proofing and damp treatment in Tooting SW17, including Tooting Bec, Tooting Common and surrounding South West London areas.
Call Atruss Preservation – 07984 712 428If you are experiencing damp, mould, staining, peeling plaster or musty odours in your Tooting property, Atruss Preservation can investigate the possible cause and recommend an appropriate remedial solution.
We provide damp proofing in Tooting SW17 for homeowners, landlords and property owners throughout Tooting and the surrounding South West London area. Our services include investigation and treatment of rising damp, damp proof course problems, high external ground levels, water ingress, waterproofing and associated plaster damage.
Tooting contains a mixture of older Victorian and Edwardian properties, flats, terraces and converted buildings. Older buildings can present particular challenges where external ground levels have been raised, damp proof courses have been bridged or internal plaster has deteriorated. A proper inspection is therefore important before deciding which damp treatment is required.
Atruss Preservation already has experience of damp proofing work in Tooting, Wandsworth, London SW17, including investigation of rising damp in an older property and installation of a renewed damp proof course where appropriate.
Rising damp can cause tide marks, staining, damaged plaster and deterioration to internal wall finishes. We can investigate suspected rising damp and determine whether the damp proof course and surrounding wall construction require remedial work.
Rising Damp TreatmentWhere an existing damp proof course has failed or is unsuitable, a new DPC may be considered. We provide new damp proof course installation in suitable Tooting SW17 properties together with associated remedial work.
New DPC InstallationOur damp investigation process includes examining external areas of the property and checking internal walls for evidence of moisture. This helps identify possible causes before remedial works are proposed.
Arrange a Damp SurveyRaised paths, paving, soil or other external surfaces can sometimes reduce the clearance between the damp proof course and external ground. We can assess whether high ground levels may be contributing to damp.
High Ground LevelsWhere water is entering below ground or through walls, a suitable waterproofing system may be required. We provide waterproofing and tanking solutions for appropriate properties and applications.
Waterproofing ServicesDamp affected plaster may need to be removed and replaced as part of a remedial damp treatment system. We provide associated plastering and rendering work following suitable damp treatment.

Atruss Preservation has previously undertaken damp proofing work on a property in Tooting, Wandsworth, London SW17. The property was an older two-bedroom house dating from approximately the late nineteenth century and had evidence associated with rising damp.
The investigation considered the relationship between the internal finished floor level, external ground level and damp proof course. Where appropriate, remedial damp proofing was undertaken together with suitable wall treatment.
This type of local experience is particularly useful when investigating damp in older Tooting properties, where the visible symptoms may have more than one possible cause.
Request a Tooting Damp SurveyWe first look at the outside of the property for possible sources of damp, including defects, ground levels, drainage issues and possible bridging of the damp proof course.
Internal walls can then be checked for visible signs of damp and moisture readings can be taken where appropriate using suitable damp measuring equipment.
The objective is to establish the likely source of the problem rather than simply treating the visible symptoms. Damp can have several possible causes, so the building should be assessed as a whole.
If remedial damp proofing is required, the proposed work can be explained and a quotation provided. Depending on the circumstances, this could involve a new DPC, removal of defective plaster, waterproofing, improvements to external ground levels or other appropriate remedial work.
