About Teesside Damp Proofing
Homeowners, landlords and buyers across Teesside use this site to get damp, mould and waterproofing work priced in writing at no cost. The cause is established before any figure is put on it, the affected areas are measured, and the specification names both the products and the standard behind them.
Teesside Damp Proofing exists because damp is the trade where a confident diagnosis and a correct diagnosis are furthest apart. A wall can be injected, replastered and repainted beautifully and still be wet in eighteen months, because the water was coming from a split downpipe the whole time. This site is here to help you get the problem identified properly and priced honestly.
How it works
Describe what the damp is doing, when it started and which postcode the property sits in. Back comes a written price built around the cause rather than a treatment picked off a menu, with the quantities spelled out so any other contractor's figure can be set beside it. Nothing is chased, and nothing is signed on a doorstep. Rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation, black mould, cellar waterproofing and damp surveys are all handled to the same standard.
The standards behind a quote
- Cause before cost: a quote should say why the wall is wet and what evidence supports that, not simply what treatment is proposed.
- Measured extents: linear metres of damp proof course, square metres of replastering, number of fans. Without numbers, quotes cannot be compared.
- Named products and standards: the injection cream, the render system, and reference to BS 6576 for damp proof courses or BS 8102 for below-ground waterproofing.
- Honest drying times: around a month per 25mm of wall thickness before decorating. Anyone promising to inject, plaster and paint inside a week is setting up a callback.
- Guarantees that survive: insurance-backed by an independent provider, with the terms and exclusions in writing before work starts.
- One enquiry, one contractor: your details are never passed around a ring of firms.
Written for Teesside buildings
The advice here is specific to the region: solid nine-inch brick terraces with century-old slate damp proof courses across Middlesbrough, Stockton, Thornaby and Hartlepool, heavy glacial boulder clay holding water against foundations, salt-laden wind-driven rain on the coastal elevations at Redcar, Saltburn and the Headland, and modern airtight estate housing at Ingleby Barwick where the whole problem is ventilation. National damp advice misses all of that.
Who runs it
The site is operated by 360 Media Works Ltd, a Teesside company. Enquiries are passed to one independent local contractor covering your area, who provides the quote. That contractor pays a fee for the introduction; you pay nothing, and the fee never appears on your quote.
