Local Diagnostic Profile

Damp Proofing & Property Care in Slough

Slough comprises dense residential developments, Edwardian terraces in Chalvey and Langley, and high-turnover rental accommodation. High occupancy levels often trigger condensation damp and mould, while older brick terraces suffer from failed bitumen damp courses.

Slough has many rented and densely occupied homes, where cooking, drying washing indoors and limited ventilation create condensation and mould. The first step is to work out whether the moisture is coming from inside the house or from a building fault such as a leaking gutter or a failed damp course.

Older brick terraces in Slough can have damp courses that have cracked or been bridged by render, paths or soil. A survey checks these points and recommends treatment only where the readings and the building show it is needed.
