Hereford, UK - Have you discovered damp in your chimney and aren’t too sure how to deal with it? Damp in chimneys is not unusual in the temperate maritime climate that we experience in the UK! High rainfall, temperature fluctuations and a large number of older properties mean that damp is not an unusual feature in our homes today. Chimneys and flues with their opening at the top of a property which can allow rainfall to enter are a common location for damp problems.

Damp can manifest itself in a number of different ways - stained patches on a wall, mould and mildew on walls, dark or discoloured patches of plaster, lifting or peeling wallpaper, a musty smell or white powdery, salt-like substances on the wall. These symptoms of damp can appear at any time of the year.
