Understanding low-level damp in Tulse Hill homes
Tulse Hill has Victorian and Edwardian houses, purpose-built flats, post-war estates and properties divided into maisonettes. Differences in floor height, garden level, wall finish and ventilation mean that similar-looking damp patches can have quite different causes.
On and around Tulse Hill, Norwood Road, Palace Road, Hardel Rise and Christchurch Road, an inspection should compare the inside moisture pattern with external paving, render, gullies, air bricks and rainwater pipes before any DPC work is proposed.

What to look for
Patterns that justify a damp inspection
No single mark confirms rising damp, but a combination of recurring symptoms can indicate moisture movement through the base of a wall.
- Decoration repeatedly failing from floor level upwards
- Skirting boards softening, separating or showing fungal decay
- Powdery salts appearing as damp plaster dries
- Damage corresponding with a raised path, patio or blocked air brick outside
