Damp and timber problems in Bangor
Bangor is coastal, and that changes the problem. Properties on exposed elevations take sustained wind-driven rain off Belfast Lough, which pushes moisture through masonry from the outside rather than drawing it up from the ground.
That is penetrating damp, not rising damp, and the fix is different — breathable masonry waterproofing that repels water while still letting the wall dry outward. Treating it as a ground-water problem wastes money and does not stop the damp.
Salt-laden air also accelerates the decay of pointing and render, which gives water more ways in.
What we see most here
- Penetrating damp on exposed elevations
- Masonry waterproofing for wind-driven rain
- Wet rot in window and door joinery
“I recently bought a new house that had woodworm in the roof space. I contacted Radication and they were extremely helpful and sent a surveyor out within a few days to advise me on the best way to deal with the problem. They gave me a quotation which was very reasonable, and I got the work done. The technicians they sent were extremely neat and tidy and I was very satisfied with the work. I would have no problems recommending them.”
