Damp Proofing and Mould Specialists in Ringwood
Ringwood sits on the Avon flood plain at the western edge of the New Forest, which sets the agenda: high seasonal ground water, low floor levels in the older town properties, and a large stock of traditional cottages in the surrounding villages.

What we find in Ringwood
Forest-edge cottages in particular need breathable specifications and honest advice about what can and cannot be dried out.
The town centre holds pre-1900 brick and rendered cottages with low thresholds. Surrounding villages such as Burley, Bransgore and Sopley bring cob, brick and timber-framed construction. Later estate housing around the town is conventional cavity brick.
Four things that go wrong in Ringwood
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
Avon flood-plain ground water
Seasonally high water tables keep the base of walls wet regardless of the damp-proof course.
- 02
Low thresholds and raised lanes
Historic street level rises mean external ground frequently sits above internal floors.
- 03
Thatch and forest-edge cottages
Traditional construction with heavy tree cover stays damp longer and needs breathable repairs.
- 04
Sub-floor decay in older cottages
Poorly ventilated voids over damp oversite produce wet rot in bearers and joist ends.
On flood-plain properties we manage water rather than promise to exclude it — drainage, membranes and sacrificial finishes at low level, honestly explained.
