Damp Works & Damp Proofing
Damp doesn’t fix itself — it spreads, damages your home and can affect your health. Transform Living diagnoses the real cause of damp and treats it properly across Northern Ireland, so the problem stays gone rather than reappearing a few months after a coat of paint.

The three types of damp we treat
- Rising damp — moisture drawn up from the ground where a damp-proof course has failed or is missing.
- Penetrating damp — water getting in through walls, roofs, gutters or around windows.
- Condensation and mould — caused by poor ventilation and warm, moist air, and the most common damp issue in NI homes.
Diagnose first, treat once
Most damp jobs go wrong because someone treats the symptom instead of the cause. We start with a proper survey — moisture readings, an inspection of the source, and an honest assessment — before recommending work. That might mean a new damp-proof course, tanking, improved ventilation, or repairs to whatever is letting water in.
For independent background on identifying damp in buildings, the RICS publishes helpful guidance for homeowners.
Damp and your renovation
Damp is often uncovered during building work. If we find it during a Refurbishment or Garage Conversion, we treat it before the new finishes go on – because sealing damp behind fresh plaster only stores up an expensive problem for later.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have rising or penetrating damp?
Rising damp typically shows as a tide mark low down on walls, while penetrating damp appears as patches higher up, often after rain. Our survey confirms which you have — the treatment for each is different.
Is black mould dangerous?
Persistent black mould can affect breathing and allergies and shouldn’t be ignored. It’s usually a ventilation and condensation problem, which we can diagnose and resolve at the source.
Do you guarantee your damp work?
Yes. Our damp-proofing treatments come with a guarantee, and because we treat the cause rather than the symptom, the fix is designed to last.
