Damp Proofing Specialists in Fulham (SW6)
Professional damp proofing specialists in Fulham, South West London.
Why Choose All Well for Damp Proofing in Fulham?
Fulham's Victorian terraces and Edwardian mansion flats across SW6 were built before modern damp-proof courses became standard, and many of the original slate DPCs have now cracked, corroded, or been bridged by raised render and external paving. London Clay holds water against foundations, and properties within a few streets of the Thames face additional groundwater pressure, conditions that turn a small damp patch into a failing wall if left. We work across SW6 treating rising damp in ground-floor rooms on terraces along Munster Road and Bishops Road, penetrating damp through the solid brick walls common in mansion flats near Fulham Broadway, and condensation problems in basement conversions where ventilation is often insufficient.
Every project comes with a fixed-price contract, single project manager, and full certification including Building Control sign-off.

Damp Proofing Tip for Fulham Homeowners
Hammersmith and Fulham Council's building control team expects a compliant damp report before signing off on basement conversion work in SW6. If you are having a cellar tanked, commission the damp survey before the tanking starts rather than after, as it documents the pre-treatment moisture readings that underpin the guarantee and satisfies the council's inspection requirements.
Damp proofing in Fulham SW6
The right fix depends on the type of damp, the number of walls affected, and whether replastering is needed after treatment. We confirm the approach after a free site visit. The survey reading tells us exactly what we are dealing with before any work starts.
Rising damp treatment in SW6 Victorian terraces
Chemical DPC injection into the mortar course is the standard fix for rising damp in Fulham's brick-built Victorian terraces. We inject a silicone cream system into the mortar bed, allow it to cure, then hack back the contaminated salt plaster and re-render with a renovating plaster before finishing. Work on a typical SW6 terrace ground floor takes one to two weeks. All injection treatments carry a 20-year written guarantee backed by the product manufacturer.
Basement tanking for Fulham properties
Cellar and basement tanking in SW6 requires a full waterproofing membrane system, either a cementitious slurry applied directly to the brick or a cavity drain membrane with a sump and pump. London Clay hydrostatic pressure makes the membrane choice critical: we specify the system to match the groundwater level found during the survey. The work typically runs one to two weeks for a single-room basement. A 10-year written guarantee is included.
Diagnosing damp in Fulham's period housing stock
Victorian terraces and Edwardian mansion flats present different damp patterns. Getting the diagnosis right before starting treatment avoids remediating the wrong problem. A replastered wall with the wrong spec will fail within two or three years if the underlying cause has not been fixed.
Rising damp in Fulham's Victorian terraces
The terraces along Munster Road, Bishops Road, and the streets feeding into Bishops Park were built from the 1860s through to around 1910. Their original DPCs, slate, bitumen felt, or engineering brick, have had 100-plus years of London Clay movement and freeze-thaw cycles. We see rising damp most commonly at ground floor level, showing as a tide mark up to a metre high with white salt deposits and blown plaster. External render applied over the decades often bridges the DPC entirely. We use calibrated moisture meters and thermal imaging to confirm the source before treating.
Penetrating damp in Edwardian mansion flats near Fulham Broadway
The solid brick construction of the mansion flats around Fulham Broadway and the streets between New Kings Road and Lillie Road loses its weather resistance as pointing erodes and render cracks. Water tracks through the wall rather than running off it. Penetrating damp treatment focuses on the external skin first, repointing, crack repair, and a breathable masonry consolidant, before any internal replastering. Repairing the external wall rather than just masking the internal face is what makes the fix last.
What to expect from a damp proofing project in Fulham
Most damp proofing work in SW6 completes within one to two weeks. We give you a written report after the survey, a fixed price confirmed before work starts, and a signed guarantee when the job is done, all three of which solicitors and mortgage lenders regularly request during conveyancing on Fulham properties.
The guarantee and its value at conveyancing
Chemical DPC injection treatments carry a 20-year written guarantee; basement tanking systems carry 10 years. The paperwork includes a Property Care Association compliant certificate. Solicitors acting on the sale of SW6 properties routinely ask for this documentation, and having a transferable guarantee from a named contractor rather than a DIY treatment avoids delays and renegotiation at the point of sale.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of damp are most common in Fulham SW6?
- In Fulham's Victorian terraces, rising damp is the most frequent cause. The original slate or bitumen DPCs are often over 100 years old and have failed or been bridged by render or paving. In the Edwardian mansion flats near Fulham Broadway, penetrating damp through deteriorating pointing and render is common. In basement conversions, which are widespread in SW6, hydrostatic pressure from London Clay groundwater is the main issue and requires a full membrane tanking system rather than a surface treatment.
- Do you offer a guarantee on damp proofing work in Fulham?
- Yes. Chemical DPC injection treatments come with a 20-year written guarantee backed by the product manufacturer. Basement tanking systems carry a 10-year guarantee. All guarantees cover both materials and workmanship and include a Property Care Association compliant certificate, the document solicitors ask for when you sell. The guarantee is transferable to the next owner.
- Why choose All Well for damp proofing in Fulham?
- We survey first and fix second. We won't quote until we've used moisture meters and thermal imaging to confirm the damp type.

We work across SW6 in Victorian terraces and mansion flats, we provide fixed-price quotes before starting, and we handle the replastering after treatment so you deal with one contractor rather than two.
