Damp Proofing and Mould Specialists in Salisbury
Salisbury has one of the most demanding building stocks in our coverage area. The city centre and Cathedral Close hold medieval and Georgian buildings, many listed, sitting on the confluence of five rivers with a correspondingly high water table.

What we find in Salisbury
Work here is about restraint and correct materials. Breathable lime systems, physical isolation of timber, and drainage improvements achieve far more than any chemical injection would.
The centre is medieval timber frame, Georgian brick and Victorian infill, with lime mortars and low floor levels. Outer areas such as Bemerton Heath and Old Sarum are twentieth-century cavity construction where condensation is the main issue.
Four things that go wrong in Salisbury
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
High river water table
Central properties near the Avon and Nadder see seasonal ground water at the base of walls and in cellars.
- 02
Timber frame sole plate decay
Frames bearing directly onto damp masonry or below external ground level develop wet and dry rot.
- 03
Cement pointing on historic brick
Hard mortar forces moisture through the softer brick face, causing spalling and internal damp.
- 04
Listed building constraints
Consent requirements rule out many standard specifications — we work to what is permissible and effective.
Listed-building work in Salisbury regularly involves liaising with conservation officers before specification — something we build into the survey stage rather than discovering later.
