Damp Proofing for Homeowners & Landlords in Islington, N1
Damp often appears suddenly and by the time you notice it, it’s already caused damage to decorations and more. Kenwood treats damp in Islington’s Georgian and Victorian terraces, garden squares, and period conversions, identifying the source and preventing its return.
We have over 40 years of experience and knowledge in damp proofing and removal, and utilise the latest methods and techniques. Whether you’re a property owner or looking to buy in the near future, we can carry out surveys and treatments to restore your home.
Islington’s Housing Stock
Islington is known for its Georgian squares and terraces, alongside Victorian terraced streets, many of which have been converted into flats. Rising damp in solid-floor basements is a common issue with these homes, since they were often built without modern damp-proof membrane.
Penetrating damp around bay windows is another common occurrence in Islington’s Victorian terraces, caused by ageing masonry, worn pointing, and original single-glazed windows.
Some of these properties also sit within conservation areas, which can make it difficult to treat them effectively. Kenwood uses sensitive treatments for these properties, ensuring the original features are respected and preserved.
