Damp, Mould and Timber Specialists Across Wiltshire
Wiltshire is our northern coverage, centred on Salisbury and the villages of the Nadder, Ebble and Avon valleys. The building stock here is older and more traditional than the coast, and it needs a different approach.

What we find in Wiltshire
Chalk, flint, brick and cob with lime mortars behave completely differently from a cavity-walled modern house. Applying a coastal specification to them is how buildings get damaged, so our Wiltshire work leans heavily towards breathable, reversible repairs.
Salisbury and its villages hold significant listed and pre-1850 stock — timber frame, cob, chalk block and flint with lime render. Many have been repaired in cement at some point in the last fifty years, which is often the root of the damp we are called to.
Four things that go wrong in Wiltshire
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
Cement render on breathable walls
Impermeable repairs stop moisture leaving through the outside face, so it moves inward into plaster and timber.
- 02
Raised ground and road levels
Village properties often sit below the modern lane level, giving permanent lateral moisture pressure at the base.
- 03
Timber frame decay
Sole plates and posts bearing on damp masonry are the most common structural finding in older frames.
- 04
Flood-plain moisture
Valley-bottom properties near the Avon and Nadder deal with seasonally high ground water.
On traditional Wiltshire buildings we regularly recommend less work than the previous quote, not more — removing cement and reinstating lime frequently outperforms any injected solution.
