- Additions and granny flats. Separate small roofs and slabs joined to the main house, leaking at the junctions.
- Ageing tiled roofs. Cracked tiles and failed ridge bedding across the older stock.
- Damp in solid walls. Older houses where the damp-proof course has failed or been bridged by paving.
- Gutter overflow. Undersized or blocked gutters wetting the same wall section repeatedly.
- Commercial flat roofs. Shopfronts and small business premises with layered coatings past their life.
What the Buildings Are Like
Older family homes and semis with pitched tiled roofs, a large stock of additions and granny flats, and commercial frontage with flat and sheet roofs along the main road.
A damp patch directly below a gutter joint or downpipe is a gutter problem, not a wall problem. Treating the wall while the gutter keeps soaking it is money spent twice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a leaking gutter cause damp walls?
Frequently. A gutter overflowing at the same point every time it rains keeps one section of wall saturated, and masonry that never dries lets water through.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace a gutter?
Sealing a joint on an otherwise sound gutter is cheap and works. Where the gutter is corroded, sagging or the joint has failed repeatedly, replacing the section costs less over time.
Do contractors charge extra to come out to Lansdowne?
Some add travel and some do not, depending on where they are based. Ask whether it is inside the quoted rate before comparing totals, because a call-out added afterwards changes the ranking.
Can waterproofing be applied over the existing coating?
Only where the existing layer is sound, dry and compatible. Coating over a blistered or delaminating membrane traps moisture underneath and the new work fails early. That is the most common reason a roof gets paid for twice.
Do I need to find the leak before waterproofing?
If there is an active leak, yes. Water enters at one point and appears at another, so coating the stained area often misses the entry point entirely. The inspection comes first, then the system is specified for what was found.
Is waterproofing covered by household insurance?
Insurers generally cover sudden damage rather than gradual failure. A membrane at the end of its life is normally treated as wear and tear. Storm damage is a separate question and your policy wording decides it.
