Wandsworth’s Housing Stock

Wandsworth properties range from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis, which each have a distinct architecture that makes them vulnerable to damp.

Victorian terraces were built with solid brick construction, making them prone to rising damp from missing, failed, or bridged damp-proof courses. They also tend to suffer from penetrating damp due to ageing pointing, render, or guttering.

1930s semis were known for their typical cavity-wall construction, which exposes them to penetrating damp from bridged cavities, failed pebbledash, or render. Condensation issues are also common in these properties due to poorly ventilated extensions, converted lofts, or original single-glazed windows.
