Damp Proofing and Mould Specialists in Weymouth
Weymouth has some of the harshest exposure of anywhere we work. The seafront Georgian and Victorian terraces take salt-laden driven rain straight off the bay, and on Portland the stone and the wind together create conditions no inland specification is written for.

What we find in Weymouth
Breathable, salt-tolerant repairs are the rule here. Anything that seals the surface fails within a few winters.
The Esplanade and Brunswick Terrace areas hold Georgian and early Victorian rendered brick with lime substrates. Westham and Littlemoor are inter-war and post-war brick. Portland brings solid Portland stone construction with very different moisture behaviour.
Four things that go wrong in Weymouth
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
Salt contamination of plaster
Airborne marine salt makes internal finishes hygroscopically damp — they draw moisture from the air even when the wall is dry.
- 02
Failed render on seafront elevations
Cement render over lime substrates cracks and delaminates under thermal and salt attack, then holds water behind it.
- 03
Portland stone saturation
Solid stone walls in exposed positions absorb heavily and need repellent treatment rather than sealing.
- 04
Sash window and sill decay
Constant wetting drives wet rot into sills, sash horns and frame bases on seafront properties.
On seafront work our specification almost always includes salt-retardant replastering and a breathable masonry water repellent — the two together are what makes a coastal repair last.
