Damp Remedial Works & Repairs in Norwich

The project

Making good throughout the property.

This Norwich project brought together low-level rising damp remedial works and the repairs needed to reinstate the affected areas. The photographs follow the wall-repair sequence across several rooms and a cupboard, from removal of the lower linings to boarding, joint finishing and decoration.

What the work included

Low-level rising damp remedial works across the property
Removal of affected low-level wall linings
Replacement wall boards to the opened-up areas
Joint filling and preparation for decoration
Making good around retained fittings and adjoining finishes
Skirting reinstatement and decorative finishing
Remedial repairs to rooms and cupboard areas
Protection of retained flooring during the works

The result

The opened-up areas were reinstated with new wall boards, prepared and redecorated to blend with the surrounding rooms. The photographs show the completed wall finishes alongside the earlier repair stages.
