Damp Proofing and Mould Specialists in Christchurch
Christchurch sits between two rivers and a harbour, which shows in the work. Properties in and around the town centre, Purewell and Stanpit deal with a high water table and periodic flood risk, and the older cottage stock near the Priory needs traditional, breathable repairs.

What we find in Christchurch
Further out, Highcliffe and Mudeford take direct coastal exposure, while Burton and Hurn are more conventional suburban construction.
The historic core holds pre-1850 brick and cob with lime finishes and low floor levels. Purewell, Jumpers and Somerford are largely inter-war and post-war brick. Highcliffe includes substantial 1930s and 1960s detached stock with severe cliff-edge exposure.
Four things that go wrong in Christchurch
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
River-valley ground water
Low ground floors near the Avon and Stour stay wet at the base for months of the year regardless of weather.
- 02
Cob and lime repaired in cement
Older properties near the Priory have frequently been rendered in cement, which traps the moisture inside.
- 03
Cliff-top driven rain at Highcliffe
Unsheltered elevations saturate repeatedly, and any render crack becomes an internal damp patch.
- 04
Post-flood residual moisture
Properties affected by past surface flooding often retain moisture in screeds and low masonry that was never properly dried.
In the older core we routinely recommend removing cement render and reinstating lime rather than injecting — it is the repair the building was designed for and it lasts.
