Ste - I love how you ask the questions and how you simplify them. It’s easy to forget how advanced it is for other people when you’re already in the know. The builder was great too, comes across excellent on video 👏🏼
Darren looks like a very genuine damp repairer that you would want in your job and also he likes it old fashion and honest with the costing. Top man🤝
He’s a top guy 🙏🏼
This is unbelievably helpful. Darren is a top man and someone i would definitely want to work with because of his calm approach to answering every essential question so thoroughly and transparently. Thank you so much Steve
Great video! Not cutting corners, attention to detail with questioning is spot on Ste. Literally to the extent I'd think of the question and you would ask. These types of videos really do help so thank you.
Thank you
What a great video! Really good questions, I like the way you simplified them to make it that little bit easier to understand. Thanks Ste 👏🏽
Great Video, The Property Circle is the gift that just keeps on giving⭕
Very good information 👍
Another good knowledgable video for everyone!
One of the main solutions for ensuring you have good insulation/ventilation for the upstairs, is to also make sure you have a breathable membrane felt under the roof tiles or slates, and also make sure you have sufficient ceiling batt insulation on top of the ceiling. Ceiling batts will keep the warmth in to the top floor rooms in the winter, and the breathable membrane felt will help ventilate the roof space in the summer.
For added ventilation in to the roof space, you can also install roof vents in to the slate or tile, which will help air flow.
Great video Ste! Providing the goods as usual!
Very well produced, straight talking👊
Very productive video as usual.Really like your explanation and I'm proud to be a group of Property circle.Thanks mate😀

Great video 🙌🏽
Not to suck eggs but the fact this is free advice on something so crucial! 🔥🔥
Great video, we've just purchased propety with damp issues. We're newbies and didn't understand about damp, but thnx to you and your video we feel less intimidated about the issues/causes/remedies, really appreciate your work 👍
Great video again 👏🏻 ⭕
Great video👏
Brilliant video - many many thanks. I have rising damp in the basement and am looking at the dryzone rods to treat.
Another amazing video! Thank you Ste 😊
You’re welcome 🙏🏼
Such a useful video - even to someone that knows a bit about the subject. Would love to see more similar videos on other topics.
amazing as usual
Love this video 👏 great for first time home buyers as well as investors, and nice to put a face to a damp treatment specialist, makes them more trustworthy and is good to base future meetings off with how they should act/what they should know
Excellent and informative video, as always 🙏👌👏👏⭕
Very useful video 👌🏾👌🏾
🙏🏽
Amazing thanks
Damp and mold has the potential to induce respiratory illnesses. Children, elder people and those with weaker immune system are high risk. A responsible and moral investor should never skip investigating and stopping damp .
Thank you for another informative and useful video, much appreciated!
THANKS MATE
I wish you asked him about the French drain approach for rising damp
Has the source in the chimney/roof/gutters been resolved?
Good video Ste.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Awesome ❤
INVALUABLE VIDEO
Thanks Ste you didn’t mention the cost for rising damp?
Proper content
Damp is caused by the cavity walls being bridged with insulation(insulation touching the outer walls inside the cavity).Cavity walls must NOT be bridged with insulation or else moisture from the damp outer walls will transmit by capillary action through the touching bridging insulation into the inner walls, making it damp inside the property. Injecting foam into the cavity walls stops the walls breathing , causing drastic condensation saturation of the inner walls inside the building.
Cavity wall insulation must touch only the inner walls inside the cavity of course.
If cavity wall insulation batts(panels) are to be installed, there must be a LARGE air space gap in-between the outer walls and the cavity wall insulation batts inside the cavity, this includes a substantial air space gap in-between the cavity wall insulation batts and the cavity wall tie drip point(which must point downwards in the centre of the cavity). Ask City & Guilds N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers in person for proof of this, tey are the authority on brickwork construction. (S.V.Q. City & Guilds BRICKWORK in Scotland).
You wouldn’t knock off the plaster upstairs and sort the damp proofing out of the roof was leaking you’d just fix the roof 😂
I think the plaster would be damaged due to being damp for a long time so the plaster would need hacking off once the roof problem has been sorted.
Use a independent Damp Detectives survey not money gain companies like these people
Great video - easy to understand for newby and great questions ste - would you ever host a game show ste 😂😂👍🙂
Should commentate table tennis 🏓 😃
Cavity wall house like that, shouldn’t have “damp”. Best course of action in all cases fix is to fix roof, pipe leakages, gutters, drains.
“Rising damp” - Lower external ground level, I tend to put a breathable render on base of wall for a plinth. Then inside id batten out, and foilback plasterboard inside.
👏👏👏
Brilliant video. Whereabouts is Darren based? Very honest and professional individual.
I have been diagnosing damp in properties for 27 years and have yet to recommend 'drilling and injecting' or hacking off plaster and tanking the wall(s). Yes, roof leaks and leaking gutters will cause damp issues, as too can faulty downpipes, blocked drains, high ground levels and cavity bridging. But on the whole if you find and fix the cause, the property will dry out naturally and there will be no need for a chemical DPC or re-plastering. You also don't mention hydroscopic chimney salts or the fact that 90% of damp problems are down to condensation. Call in one of these 'damp expert' companies and I guarantee it will cost you several thousands of pounds.
Agree with everything you said , I've just remedied a wall by clearing all the crap out of the cavity causing bridging and now letting it dry naturally.
Of course damp rises through brick simple capillarity. Basic science.
@@flyerphil7708 I'm not saying that it is not possible but if the building has a DPC and is of cavity wall construction you are more likely to win the lottery than find rising damp. My issue is that so called Damp Proofing Companies don't look for a cause but just charge thousands to mask it. I once got asked to provide a second opinion after one of these companies told the owners that they had 'rising damp' in a second floor bedroom and quoted £4000 for remedial work even though there was no problem on the ground and first floor. Basic science.
Hi there. Iv been trying get hold of a damp specialist. My flat is technically the basement of a 1930’s building. Has really high moisture levels and extremely high moisture in the walls. Up to 50/60% in places. In your experience is this either a DPC failure or potentially no damp proofing at all? Any help would be really appreciated.
@@donk3ysmash Even before modern techniques of house building we didn't build basements that easily allowed moisture/damp ingress. How do you know that your walls have an extremely high moisture content? Has someone been round with a damp meter? If so, ignore their findings. You need to find a surveyor who can do a carbide test on them for a definitive answer. Then, if they are indeed damp, the cause needs to be identified and rectified. Watch Peter Ward's CZcams video entitled, 'The Damp Industry Con'. Like him I never use a damp meter. I hope this helps.
I have damp in my flat
09:30 - don’t know why his voice changed but this bit made me laugh out loud 😂
