Damp Proofing in Elstow
Elstow is a historic village immediately south of Bedford, famous for its medieval Moot Hall and timber-framed buildings, set alongside more recent housing. Its older properties need a knowledgeable, sympathetic approach to damp and timber.
Local property context
Timber-framed and lime-built properties behave very differently from modern masonry. Applying impermeable renders, cement pointing or gypsum plaster to breathable historic fabric can trap moisture and cause damp and timber decay rather than curing it.
We assess period buildings on their evidence and favour breathable, proportionate repairs, only advising chemical timber treatment where the investigation genuinely justifies it.
