Waterproofing Goodwood FAQs
Can I just paint over damp?
Damp-resistant paint may hide marks for a while, but the moisture remains and the paint usually fails.
How long does rising damp treatment take?
A few days on site for a room or two, then weeks of drying before final decoration.
Is damp treatment messy?
Yes. Hacking off plaster is dusty, so furniture is moved and floors covered.
Should I get a damp assessment first?
If you are unsure of the cause, a separate assessment avoids paying for the wrong treatment.
