Damp never fixes itself. It only spreads.

It usually starts small. A musty smell in a back bedroom. A patch of black mould behind the wardrobe. Paint that won't stop flaking, or a tide mark creeping up the skirting.

Left alone, it gets worse — not better. Damp rots skirting and floorboards, ruins plaster, triggers asthma and allergies, and quietly knocks thousands off the value of your home. And Newcastle's older terraced and solid-wall properties are especially prone to it.

The good news: nearly every damp problem can be solved properly — once you know what's actually causing it. That's where we come in.

What Our Customers Say

Trusted by Homeowners Across the North East

"We had rising damp in our hallway for years and three different builders just kept papering over it. North East Damp Control found the real cause on the first visit, sorted it in two days and left the place spotless. No more musty smell."

Sarah M. — Heaton, Newcastle

"Black mould kept coming back in our bathroom and kids' bedroom no matter how much we cleaned it. They explained it was a condensation problem, not just mould, and fixed it at the root. Six months on and the walls are still clear. Genuinely friendly team too."

James T. — Gosforth, Newcastle

"Booked a survey before buying an older property in Newcastle. The surveyor was thorough, honest and didn't try to sell us treatments we didn't need — which gave us real peace of mind. We'd recommend them to anyone worried about damp."

Diane R. — Jesmond, Newcastle

Common Questions

How do I know if I have damp?

Common signs include a persistent musty smell, black mould on walls or ceilings, flaking or bubbling paint, tide marks on walls, and cold, wet patches. If you've spotted any of these, a free survey will tell you exactly what you're dealing with.

How much does damp proofing cost?

It depends entirely on the cause and the extent of the problem, which is why we survey first. After the survey you'll get a clear, fixed quote with no hidden costs — and we only recommend the treatments you genuinely need.

How long does treatment take?

Most treatments are completed within 1–3 days, depending on the size of the area and the type of damp. We'll give you a realistic timescale as part of your quote.

Are your treatments guaranteed?

Yes — most of our services come with long-term guarantees, so you can be confident the problem is solved for good. We'll explain exactly what's covered before any work begins.
