Damp treated, walls put back properly
Most damp companies sub-contract the plastering. We are the plasterers, so the repair is finished, not just treated. One survey, one quote, one team.

- 01 Damp proofing Rising damp, penetrating damp and failed damp courses treated properly, then the wall put back so you cannot tell it was ever there.
- 02 Damp surveys A free, honest look at what is causing the damp, with moisture readings and a straight answer on what it needs, before anyone quotes for anything.
- 03 Condensation and mould treatment Black mould in corners, around windows and above the shower is a condensation problem. We treat the mould, fix the cause and stop it coming back.
- 04 Plastering and skimming Walls and ceilings skimmed smooth, rooms re-plastered, patch repairs and ceilings re-boarded. The finish customers keep describing as smooth as a baby's bottom.
- 05 Rendering External render that keeps the weather out and looks right. Sand and cement, monocouche and repairs to cracked or blown render on houses across the North East.
- 06 Tanking and basement waterproofing Cellars, basements and below-ground walls made dry with cementitious tanking, so a damp cellar becomes usable space instead of a source of damp for the rest of the house.

Black mould on a cold wall
Poor insulation leaves walls and surfaces cold, which is exactly where condensation settles and mould grows. Cleaning it off is not the fix.

Staining around bathroom windows
Noticed mould, staining or peeling paint above the shower or around the bathroom window? These are the most common problem spots in the house.
-
Fig. 08
A tide mark above the skirting
The classic sign of rising damp. As the colder, wetter months approach it becomes more noticeable and a lot harder to ignore.

Plaster that has blown
Hollow when you tap it, flaking when you touch it. The plaster is full of salts and moisture and needs to come off before anything else.

Just had some plastering work done and cannot recommend highly enough. Excellent finish and reasonably priced. Arrived at agreed time and finished on time with very little upheaval. Have had enough experiences of bad workmanship to recognise a good one, we'll be contacting them again if we need any further work doing.
This company saved us last mintute when we were let down by our builder. Billy did an amazing job and we will definitely be using them again.
Callum explained the work that needed doing and gave a quote within 10 minutes. He worked efficiently and the work is amazing, can't even tell there was a partition wall there now it's painted over. Definitely recommend and would use again.

The person who surveys it is the person who fixes it
CK Damp Specialist is run by Callum, a plasterer by trade who got tired of being called in to skim over damp that nobody had actually treated. So the business became the damp specialist as well.
Customers have been recommending the work on Facebook since 2019: a quote within ten minutes, a whole room patched and skimmed in a tricky old house, walls as smooth as a baby's bottom. Callum still turns up to every survey himself.
