When The Royal Ballet School needed advice on a damp proofing problem at the historic White Lodge in London damp experts Timberwise were called upon to put their damp proofing expertise into action.

White Lodge is the home of the Royal Ballet School. Housed within a spectacular Georgian property in Richmond Park. Formerly White Lodge was formerly a royal residence and was built as a hunting lodge for George II in 1727.  Famously Lord Nelson stayed at the Lodge prior to the Battle of Trafalgar. It is said that Nelson plotted the  campaigns for Cadiz and Trafalgar  on the dining room table using the fruit and silver for ships and writing on the table cloth with a finger dipped in port! More information on the Royal Ballet and White Lodge can be found in the video below:

It was apparent that dampness was present in a section of the accommodation part of the Lodge. The dampness was causing potential health risks with salts coming through the plasterwork .  A sympathetic repair was needed to the damp problem. By using a cavity drain membrane fixed to the damp wall we were able to dry line and plaster the wall to ensure that the dampness would not reoccur.
