What causes damp in London properties?

There could be a number of factors leading to damp in a property in London:

Damp causes

Damp homes and offices are generally caused by water leaking inside the building. This is usually due to one or more of the following:

Broken or missing gutters or downpipes
Cracked or broken roofs
Missing roof tiles
Leaking water pipes
Poor property ventilation
Poor drainage systems

Penetrative damp can spring up in any type of building, whether it is old or new, modern or traditional.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really impressed with SM Preservations.
I got Stephen in to check a damp problem, he was extremely knowledgeable and was able to identify the location and spread of rising damp in my house.
His report and recommendations were very detailed and thorough. The quote was broken down and transparent.
The team who carried out the work were all very professional and I appreciated the efforts they went to to protect the rest of the house from such messy work.
I feel assured that the work is of a very high standard and has resolved the damp issue at last.
Thanks to Stephen and the team, I would happily recommend them (and have done already!).

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked SM Preservations to look at a damp issue based on the good reviews. Stephen really took his time to have a thorough look inside and outside the property. He was very honest in telling us how we could fix the issue ourselves so wasn’t even going to get a paid job out of the visit, yet he still took the time to explain everything really clearly so we completely understood. Don’t normally write reviews but rare to get such a good a honest service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Same review i left on check a Trade:
Tried to leave a review earlier but didn't seem to work, Just wanted to thank Stephen for his survey with the dampness issue when we were looking to purchase this property back in June of 2023, 6 months have gone by and we've now got the keys but this was a major deciding factor on us purchasing or not, Thanks to Stephens Report we were able to make a decision that we could afford the repairs quoted to us, and we've just been working through documenting all the other issues that need repairing in the property over the last 6 months but we have the keys and will be looking to get everything sorted asap!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Stephen is a true professional and helped me with my first property after detecting signs of damp. Despite being so busy (which is unsurprising given how good his work is!) he was really accommodating and came in to check out the damp issues and provide suggestions. He ended up coating out wall with a special resin to prevent from damp in the future and also gave the added benefit of extra insulation! Couldn't recommend Stephen enough - diligent, thorough and truly helpful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service by committed and conscientious guys. Stephen (the owner) was amazing at explaining every step (in a language we could understand) and having completed the works, we could not be happier.  Thank you SM Preservations Team for fixing our DAMP KITCHEN :)
