An Overview and the Damp Problems that Occur in Oxford

Oxford is a city that is based in the South East of England. The city is the basis for its prestigious university which was built in the 12th century. It is the oldest University in the English speaking world and there 38 colleges surrounding the University of Oxford.

The city has a population of 150,000 and the main industries being car manufacturing and making vehicle parts. Oxford also has a biotech industry in the area.

Towards the centre of the city, the type of housing is normally Victorian and terraced housing. This type of housing is susceptible to rising damp due to the property either having a failed damp proof course or not having a damp proofing solutions in place.

Older housing can also be prone to other damp problems such as penetrating damp through poorly maintained external defects.

Damp Proofing From Our Specialists in Oxford

Penetrating damp occurs due to poor maintenance of the property. An example of this is that if there were heavy rainfall and your property has damaged guttering then water would penetrate through the property.

Condensation is a problem that can occur where the warm moist air cannot leave the property and lands on a cold surface.

One of the recent projects Timberwise has carried out was at Oxford University, where there was dampness below ground and our damp proofing experts were on hand to meet the customer’s needs. The building’s walls and floors were susceptible to dampness due to the age of the building means the walls will continue to rot over time.

The surveyors assessing the building found that the best solution to solving the dampness issue in the building was by installing an internal cavity membrane and perimeter drainage channel. Once both waterproofing systems were both installed the customer was left with a dry basement to use for extra living space.
