Damp Proofing SS5 Hockley

Most property owners in the UK have found themselves experiencing problems with damp at some point. Unfortunately, damp can quickly cause a significant amount of damage to your property, causing issues like flaking paint, crumbling plaster, rotting skirting boards, and curling wallpaper.

Damp proofing SS5 Hockley is the process or technique of preventing dampness from entering or affecting a building. Damp can damage buildings and affect their occupants’ health, so it’s important to keep it at bay. Damp proofing your home will help to protect it from the effects of damp, keeping it in good condition for years to come.

There are several ways to for our damp specialists in SS5 Hockley to damp proof your home. The most common is to install a damp proof course (DPC) which is a physical barrier that stops rising damp from entering the property. DPCs can be made from various materials including plastic, bitumen, slate, lead and even ceramic. DPCs should be installed by a professional as they need to be placed at the correct height in order to be effective.

Another way to damp proof your home is to use chemical Damp Proofing. Our Chemical SS5 Hockley Damp Proofing Service involves injecting a liquid chemical into the masonry of the property. The chemical reacts with the bricks and mortar to create a water-repellent barrier. This method is often used on properties that have no DPC or where the DPC has failed.

As a SS5 Hockley damp specialist, we know that damp can also be prevented by ensuring that any existing rising damp in SS5 Hockley is dealt with quickly and effectively. If you have any areas of damp in your home, it’s important to address them as soon as possible.

Roof repairs

We needed our entire roof replaced, with new tiles, underfelt and insulation installed. Matthew and his team were very professional and courteous during the entire process, making sure to explain things clearly at every stage. While the tiles were off, we had some very heavy rain which caused some water to leak into the eaves and subsequently damage the ceiling to our downstairs room. Matthew made sure to repair the damage at no extra cost and prevent any more leaks. They installed new plasterboard and painted the whole thing. We also had a few holes and cracks in the loft room due to the roof works, which they filled in and made good at the end of the job. All rubbish was cleared afterwards promptly.

Flat roof repair and guttering

Lee and Matthew are both brilliant. I chose City Building and Roofing for the job because out of the 6 builders who evaluated the situation- their pricing was fair, their manner, excellent and their time spent explaining everything to someone who hasn’t a clue, was informative without being confusing. Professional, thorough, attentive, knowledgeable and communicative. They got the job done despite bad weather at the time and so far, so good. When teething (not even) problems occurred, they were straight on it and went above and beyond to get everything right. I’m SO glad I hired them, I’d recommend them for their expertise and I would absolutely hire them again in the future.

Garden Wall and railings

We own what they call a lion house, an Edwardian property in Wandsworth. The brick column holding a heavy stone lion at the apex of the roof was disintegrating, causing the lion to lean rather dangerously, so it was a matter of urgency to get the brickwork replaced with new bricks, also the concrete plinth the lion sits on needed replacing. I contacted City Roofing, and luckily they were able to do the job quickly. I live in Cornwall, so it's always a problem finding builders etc who don't rip you off, do a substandard job because they know I won't re around to inspect, so I was taking my usual chance hiring Matthew (City Roofing), but he's done an excellent job, and I couldn't be happier, we spoke over the phone throughout, and what a nice guy to deal with, he sent pictures of before and after, so I was assured of his work, and the pictures told the story, a brilliant piece of work, done quickly and efficiently. I can happily recommend City Roofing, and should I need anymore building work done, they are definitely top of my list.

Damp in bathroom

Having done excellent work for us before, Matthew, Lee & the team came to the rescue when a side roof on our house was badly damaged in Storm Ciaran (Nov 2023) and we had serious water-leakage inside. They made the roof secure while Matthew prepared clear & conscientious reports of the damage etc. For the insurance company. That having been sorted, they completed a good full repair on the roof. They are really experienced, with a great range of skills, always a polite & professional manner, punctual etc. City Building and Roofing will always be our go-to for building work & repair.

Matthew and Lee were absolutely terrific and I am very very pleased with their work. They were helpful, hard working, tidy, efficient and flexible. I would be very happy to give them a reference any time

Making roof terrace watertight and retiling

Matthew was great to deal with; very prompt and courteous. He also was really helpful in sending me pictures of the job before and after it was completed (I don't live at the property so wasn't able to view the work in person). I would definitely recommend him.

Replacing barge boards on a roof

City Roofing and Building did a great job on rebuilding the brick wall at the front of my property. They finished the job on time, and when "gotchas" arose (as they always do) they explained to me what was going on and dealt with it in their stride. I'd happyily recommend them to anyone.

Lambeth
3 chimneys lowered and capped, new roof, new guttering, cracked tiles replaced, scaffolding erected.

Matthew and his team came to the rescue at short notice, just before Xmas, and did wonderful job at saving a massive leak into my bedroom. I couldn’t find a roofer to help out on such short notice but Matthew did everything possible to get his team to work on a Saturday to fix the issue. It was just on time as that night it rained so heavily that there would have been extensive damage so I am extremely grateful to his professional help and forthcoming nature to help me so efficiently and quickly fix the problem. I couldn’t recommend him and his team more.

We hired City Roofing to carry out a number of building jobs around our house including a new roof, outside rendering, extension of our porch and laying of a new driveway. Matthew who led the team was fantastic. He was always on hand to promptly discuss the work that was being carried out, and he and his team were highly professional throughout. We were particularly impressed with how Matthew would always go the extra mile to ensure we were completely satisfied with the work. If there were any questions we had throughout the project Matthew would always be on hand to guide us and provide honest pragmatic advice. Of the many builders we've had, Mathew and his team have been by far the best to work with and we felt in safe hands throughout. We will definitely be keeping Matthew's details for future projects.

Matthew and Lee replaced the glass conservatory-style roof over our rear extension (which was leaky and made the room very cold in winter) with a GRP "warm" roof incorporating two rooflights. We are very happy indeed with the result. It was a high quality job. Matthew and Lee were very pleasant people to deal with. They clearly care about their work. They will come back and redo something if you are not happy. They were always cheerful, even when the weather made things really difficult for them. Would definitely recommend!

New garden wall

Matthew and team gave a very competitive quote and completed the job in the timescale promised. They talked through the job before the quotation, what it would entail and explained clearly each element of the work required. They provided photos afterwards to show the work completed. They also highlighted some other things that may need addressing in the future which was very useful. Would use again.

Repair leaking Velux Skylight

Matthew responded to my request for a quote very promptly and came and diagnosed the problem (water ingress from an external chimney causing damp on the breast internally) that same day and was able to carry out the work in a timely manner. The job ended up being slightly bigger than we had originally envisioned but Matthew clearly explained (with pictures) what the problems were and kept us updated with how the work was progressing. Happy to recommend Matthew to friends and family.

SW19
Repair of two external chimneys

Communication was very good throughout the project. Matthew spent time looking at the property, making suggestions and coming up with options for different ways of delivering the work. He gave us a detailed quote that meant we both knew what was included in the price. Once the building work started, he let us know any issues he found, and talked through what the different options were. The work was completed to budget and carried out with a high level of workmanship. It was evident throughout how much professional pride Matthew took in delivering high quality workmanship. We are very happy with the result and pleased to recommend Matthew.

Matthew was a pleasure to deal with. He always kept me in the loop, explained what was to be expected and was very clear. He also provided options in a professional manner. Matthew started and finished on time and budget. I would certainly use City Roofing and Building again.

Victorian Mansion block with 8 flats

Matthew is very professional. He was prompt showing up to property and with producing a written quote (when other roofers refused to do so). He and his team were very efficient and got to work straight away and were able to replace the lead flashing around the chimney in half a day. I would recommend using Matthew and his team

SW18
Repairing the lead flashing around the chimney to fix damp

I hired Matthew and his team to remove nesting birds from the eaves of my roof and install anti roosting spikes to prevent the birds from returning. I live in a block of flats with 8 other tenants, so Matthew not only had me to contend with, but 8 other voices and opinions.

Repointing brick work front of house

I contacted Matthew and his team for a leak in my roof. As water was spilling in my bedroom in heavy rain I was getting very worried. Matthew was immediately available, identified the issue in the chimney and provided a very clear quote. Worked were carried out on the day agreed, and the result looks neat and tidy. More importantly, the leak has stopped. Throughout the process communication has been clear and friendly. Price was reasonable too.

Repair leak from chimney and moss removal

Matthew was extremely professional and came and quoted immediately. In the event, I went down a different route with other works as well, but this was not because of Matthew or his quote but other circumstances. I thought his quote was competitive and the work he was preparing to do for this was comprehensive. I would certainly call Matthew again.

City building and roofing was very good I gave them a call we have arranged a time and a date they came out Given me a quotation all the works All their staff was very polite and and kept my garden tidy would use again and recommend to my friends

SW15
Ridge fell off into my garden

The true sign of a professional with integrity is how they react when things don't go quite according to plan. Matthew and his team did the job as required, were utterly professional and acted with complete integrity. I have no hesitation in recommending him and would invite him back to do further work.
It is relatively easy to get a good review when everything goes smoothly, to get a good review even when they don't is something that really is hard earned. Things did go wrong, but Matthew's response was exemplary; he responded quickly, without hesitation and sorted the problem as soon as he possibly could.
This really is a class outfit.

ak58
Damp around windows

Matthew responded quickly to our advertisement and identified the root cause, and took my husband up on the roof to show him. He fixed the problem quickly and for a very reasonable price and we can see our wall is starting to dry out. He also fixed another problem we had found at the back of the house. We would definitely recommend City Roofing and Building Limited and hire them again if required.
