Damp Proofing and Mould Specialists in Bournemouth
Bournemouth is the single busiest part of our diary. The town combines dense pre-war terraces in Springbourne, Winton and Boscombe with cliff-top and chine-side properties that take the full force of coastal weather, and a very large converted-flat stock through the central and east cliff area.

What we find in Bournemouth
Our surveyors work Bournemouth streets every week, which means we recognise the recurring defects by postcode rather than starting from scratch on each visit.
Most of the BH1–BH9 housing we survey is 1890–1935 brick with suspended timber ground floors, slate or plain tile roofs, and rear extensions added at various dates. Cliff-side and chine properties additionally deal with severe exposure and, in a handful of locations, movement-related cracking that lets water in.
Four things that go wrong in Bournemouth
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
Raised paths and drives bridging the DPC
Rear yards and side paths built up over the years now sit above internal floor level, taking moisture straight past the damp-proof course.
- 02
Converted flats with sealed ventilation
East Cliff and Boscombe conversions frequently lost their original airflow, and bedrooms now grow black mould on external corners.
- 03
Chine and cliff exposure
Properties above the chines take driven salt-laden rain that finds any weakness in pointing or render.
- 04
Blocked airbricks under bay windows
Bay window sub-floors are the first place we find wet rot when the void has stopped ventilating.
Our reference case study is a BH6 property in Southbourne: a ground-floor room with severe salt-damaged plaster, taken back to brick, given a new damp-proof course and membrane system, replastered and finished. The full photographic sequence is shown on this site.
