Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have questions about our damp proofing services in Blackpool and the Fylde Coast? Check out our FAQs to find out about some answers to general questions.

Common signs include musty smells, black mould spots, bubbling paint, salt marks on walls, and cold, damp patches. Due to Blackpool’s sea air and frequent rainfall, these symptoms can escalate quickly without professional damp proofing. If you notice these, it’s best to book a damp survey with RTC Group.

Blackpool’s proximity to the coast increases the risk of damp due to high humidity and salt in the air. These conditions can accelerate the breakdown of masonry and encourage rising or penetrating damp. Our tailored damp proofing systems are specifically designed to combat coastal moisture challenges.

Yes. Prolonged exposure to damp and mould can aggravate respiratory issues such as asthma and allergies. Children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions are particularly vulnerable. RTC Group offers proven mould removal treatments to ensure your living environment remains safe.

Rising damp is caused by moisture from the ground moving upward through walls due to failed or missing damp proof courses—a common issue in Blackpool’s older homes. Learn more about how we treat this effectively on our rising damp service page.

What Our Customers Say

Protected Home, Perfect Finish—Excellent Result

Originally recommended by my surveyor after discovering damp in 5 rooms. All the RTC staff were friendly and did a great job in minimising the dust and mess with protected sheeting and flooring throughout the house. The final result is excellent and a big call out to Steve for helping with moving a very heavy radiator and giving me tips on cauking. Highly recommend if you want a fairly priced job by hghly skilled employees and not subcontractors.

Professional from Damp Report to Final Plaster

Delighted with the service. RTC installed a damp proof course and replastering at my house. The damp survey was professional, detailed and very clear on the work to be done with good accompanying explanations of the issues. The office is easy to contact, answering all my calls and returning them promptly if the person I needed to speak to wasn’t immediately available. The technicians who performed the work were professional and worked fast and hard. They explained clearly all the steps and left the house clean every day. I am really please with the final finish and overall result. They were not the cheapest quote or survey I had, but at all steps were the most professional. Highly recommended.

Transparent Pricing & Top-Notch Workmanship

From initial contact with the office, to the visit from the surveyor, the surveyors report which was very thorough as he actually went under the floors, the price for the work and the quality of the job itself was excellent. The surveyor Sam did an excellent job as was the repairs done by Dan and Karl. After the work was completed, I was contacted by the office to check that I was satisfied with work and the quality of the job, which I was. Professional all the way through with good customer service, made to feel I was important to their business. It’s an old adage but big enough to cope and small enough to care fits the bill. Would use again and would have no reservation about recommending them.
