Independent damp surveyor for Cleckheaton
Cleckheaton is home. Damp Surveyor West Yorkshire is based on Drub Lane, so homes across the Spen Valley, in Scholes, Gomersal, Hunsworth, Liversedge and the town itself, are right on the doorstep.
The town's stone terraces, mill cottages and Victorian villas sit alongside inter-war and modern homes. Whatever the age of your property, Ben can give you an independent view of what is causing damp, mould or timber problems, usually at short notice.
Damp problems common in Cleckheaton homes
Spen Valley stone terraces
Solid stone walls, cellars and timber floors are typical. Moisture trapped by cement repairs or let in by failed pointing is common.
Mill cottages
Some of the oldest homes in the valley have shallow foundations, no original damp-proof course and lime-based construction that needs sympathetic treatment.
Rear yards and paths
Ground levels that have crept up over the years are a frequent cause of damp in back kitchens and rear rooms.
Condensation
Black mould in bedrooms and bathrooms is the most common problem in homes of every age, and it is usually solvable.
