Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Newlands Homes Commonly Need
- Roof leak repairs. Leaks at valleys, flashings and gutters under heavy, long-lasting rain.
- Wall waterproofing. Walls facing the rain that stay wet for weeks.
- Damp assessments. Working out whether damp is rising, penetrating or condensation.
- Foundation waterproofing. Wet ground against walls and floors on lower-lying plots.
- Waterproofing maintenance. Pre-winter checks of gutters, valleys and outlets.
Heavy Rain and Wet Ground
- Long wet spells. Walls and roofs get little chance to dry between fronts, so small defects turn into big stains.
- Gutters overflow. Undersized or blocked gutters spill water down walls and into foundations.
- Wet soil. Ground stays damp for long periods, feeding rising damp where damp courses have failed.
- Mould. Cold rooms on the shady side of the house often grow mould without any leak.

Get Waterproofing QuotesWhat Affects the Quote
- Diagnosis. A proper damp survey costs more upfront but avoids paying for the wrong treatment.
- Wall area. Coating a whole elevation costs more than spot repairs but may be needed on exposed walls.
- Drainage. Extra downpipes, gutters or ground drainage are often part of the real fix.
- Drying time. Interior plaster and paint repairs wait until walls dry out.
Fix the Water Path First
Coatings fail if water keeps arriving. Contractors usually check:
- Gutters, downpipes and where they discharge.
- Ground levels and paving against the walls.
- Sills, parapets and wall caps.
- Ventilation in bathrooms and closed rooms.
Questions to Ask
- What did your moisture readings show, and where?
- Is condensation part of the problem?
- Will you fix drainage, or only coat the wall?
- When can interior repairs safely be done?
Waterproofing Newlands FAQs
Why is my house damp even without a leak?
Condensation in cold, poorly ventilated rooms is common in wet winters. Better ventilation and heating often help more than waterproofing.
Should I waterproof the outside walls?
If rain is soaking through, a breathable exterior coating plus crack repairs can help. Rising damp needs a different fix.
Can gutters really cause damp walls?
Yes. Overflowing gutters and short downpipes pour water onto walls and foundations for hours in heavy rain.
When is the best time to book?
In summer, so walls and roofs are dry and the work is done before the next winter.
