What Affects the Cost?

Damp proofing costs are driven by: the type of damp (rising, penetrating, or condensation), the extent and severity of the problem, property age and construction materials, wall thickness and accessibility, treatment method selected (injection, tanking, or ventilation), and linear metres requiring intervention. Older properties in Billingshurst often need more extensive work. Post-treatment decoration and plasterwork replacement add to the total cost. Specialist surveys and diagnosis are essential to determine the most cost-effective solution.

Money-Saving Tips

Obtain three competitive quotes before committing—costs vary based on specialist expertise and proposed remedies. Address damp early to avoid expensive structural damage and replastering. Some insurance policies cover damp treatment; check your policy first. Consider phased treatments for larger properties to spread costs over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a damp survey really necessary before treatment?

Yes. A professional survey (£150–£350) identifies the damp type, source, and severity. Misdiagnosis leads to ineffective and costly remedies. Specialists use moisture meters, thermography, and visual inspection to determine the exact approach needed.

How long does chemical injection damp proof treatment take?

Injection typically takes 1–3 days depending on wall length and property size. The injected chemicals then cure for 2–3 weeks before internal plaster can be replaced. During curing, ventilation is essential.

What's the difference between rising damp and penetrating damp treatment costs?

Rising damp (chemical injection) costs £800–£2,200 per linear metre. Penetrating damp (external sealing or tanking) costs £600–£2,500 per job. Penetrating damp is often cheaper as it addresses external causes rather than requiring internal membrane installation.

Can I treat damp myself or with budget products?

DIY solutions rarely work long-term. Off-the-shelf damp paints don't address the root cause and often trap moisture, worsening the problem. Professional treatment costs more upfront but provides guarantees and lasting results.
