Damp Specialist in South Wales

Damp is one of the most common and most misunderstood property problems in South Wales. The wet climate, older housing stock and poor ventilation in many homes create the perfect conditions for rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation to take hold. Too often, damp is treated with a coat of stain-block paint or anti-mould spray that hides the problem for a few weeks before it returns. As genuine damp specialists, we take a very different approach.

Every job starts with a thorough damp survey. We identify exactly what type of damp you're dealing with and where the moisture is coming from. Rising damp travels up through the structure from the ground, penetrating damp comes through walls and roofs from outside, and condensation forms when warm, moist air meets cold surfaces. Each requires a completely different solution, so accurate diagnosis is essential before any work begins.

Once we understand the cause, we treat it at source. Our damp solutions include damp-proof course treatment, repairs to external defects letting water in, improved ventilation and extraction to control condensation, professional mould treatment, and replastering and redecoration to restore the affected areas. The aim is always a clean, healthy, lasting result — not a temporary cover-up.

Black mould is more than unsightly; it can affect breathing and is a particular concern for children, the elderly and anyone with respiratory conditions. We safely remove mould and, crucially, fix the underlying moisture problem so it doesn't come back. Landlords and letting agents across South Wales rely on us for compliant, well-documented damp works on tenanted and void properties, helping them meet their responsibilities and protect their investment.

We provide damp treatment across Cardiff, Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Pontypridd, Newport, the Vale of Glamorgan and the surrounding areas. If damp or mould is affecting your property, contact Ready Fix for a free damp survey and honest, expert advice from a fully insured local specialist.
