I’m in Darlington. We paid £200 per square metre, 10 square metres in total. Edwardian terrace house. Top quality job done over 3 days, two men.0

Are you sure you have rising damp first of all? This isn't the result of a free survey by a damp 'specialist' is it?0

Agree with rob74 who has told you its rising damp. If it is a free survey then they are after your hard earned cash. Rising damp is quite a rare form of damp (some "experts say it is a myth") any chance of a photo

Free for 10 years apparently if you give some dodgy company that will cease to exist shortly £99+ VAT.Paulwilson999 said:Anyone know how must rising damp treatment costs in a mid terrace town house in Balham?1 -
😀 yes, agree.FreeBear said:Paulwilson999 said: Anyone know how must rising damp treatment costs in a mid terrace town house in Balham?Thousands, And several more in 10-15 years time because the first lot didn't actually cure the problem.Fixing the root cause could be as little as a weekends work with a spade, or a few hundred for basic repairs.
I’ve owned 2 houses with damp issues and both had evidence (tanking internally and/or rows of holes drilled around the exterior perimeter) of failed rising damp treatment from years back!0 -
Why don't you tell is what your problem seems to be and let us try to help?Photos inside and out of the affected areas, with as much context as possible - entire walls, not just the damp patches.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.

He doesn't have any problems. Apparently soon after asking he bought some insurance that doesn't cover pre-existing conditions.Most likely, it was a failed spam attempt.0
