What we find in Wimborne
In the old town we work breathably and carefully; on the newer estates the issues are almost entirely condensation, cavity defects and extension detailing.
Town-centre properties are typically pre-1850, solid walled with lime finishes, often with cellars. Colehill, Merley and Corfe Mullen are mainly 1960s–2000s cavity construction where sealed-up ventilation and cavity fill dominate the findings.
Four things that go wrong in Wimborne
Not a generic list. These are the defects our surveyors record most often at this postcode.
- 01
Cellars and low ground floors in the old town
Below-ground rooms near the river need waterproofing design rather than surface treatment.
- 02
Condensation in modern estates
Tight modern envelopes with undersized extract produce mould in bedrooms and behind furniture.
- 03
Conservatory and extension junctions
Retro-fitted extensions frequently lack a cavity tray, giving damp at the abutment wall.
- 04
Bridged DPCs from landscaping
Raised patios, decking and planters against the wall bridge damp-proof courses across the newer estates.
On modern-estate work in Wimborne, our most frequent recommendation is continuous mechanical extract combined with targeted insulation — not damp proofing at all.
