A Ruislip-based team serving Greenford
Run by Seth Long, Damp Pro and Co is based at 8 Manor Road, Ruislip HA4 7LB. Greenford lies about five miles south-east of our base, within our West London coverage area. We travel from Ruislip to homeowners across UB6, with appointment arrangements made when you contact us.
Our technicians are PCA trained and Safeguard Ltd trained, and we bring over 30 years' experience to damp problems. We use a BBA approved damp proofing system. Completed damp proof course (DPC) work comes with a 20-year guarantee certificate; that guarantee does not extend to condensation control, mould treatment or other work.
UB6 and the surrounding neighbourhoods
Our Greenford coverage includes homeowners in UB6, in the London Borough of Ealing, including around Horsenden Hill and towards Perivale. Homes nearer Sudbury Hill, Hanwell and Southall can also contact us about a survey. Give us your full postcode so we can confirm the location and discuss an appointment.
Nearby Northolt is also within our coverage, as is Southall. From Ruislip, our wider service area takes in West London and South Bucks, extending out towards High Wycombe. There is no need to decide which town page best matches your address before calling: your street and postcode are enough.
Why Greenford's housing and ground matter
Much of Greenford's housing consists of 1930s semi-detached homes and terraces, alongside post-war properties and newer developments. Many older houses retain their original damp course and suspended timber floors. An older damp course is not automatically defective, but its condition and the relationship between outside ground and internal floor levels deserve attention.
The River Brent and the Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal are important parts of the local landscape. Clay ground on the river floodplain can remain wet through winter, making drainage and ground levels relevant to a damp assessment. Living near water does not, by itself, prove that a damp patch is rising damp.
Which damp services may your home need?
Our six service areas are rising damp treatment, damp proof course work, penetrating damp treatment, condensation control, mould treatment and free damp surveys. For Greenford's older houses, persistent low-level wall damp makes rising damp assessment particularly relevant. A damp proof course may be appropriate where the diagnosis supports it, rather than simply because a house dates from the 1930s.
Rain-related patches point towards investigating penetrating damp, while wet windows and mould in cold corners make condensation control and mould treatment relevant. These are different problems and can occur together, including in post-war and newer homes. Our condensation control service may include recommending ventilation improvements; mould treatment should also be considered alongside the source of moisture.
Choose the right Greenford advice page
For damp concentrated near the foot of a wall, visit our rising damp treatment in Greenford page. It focuses on that particular problem and the treatment considerations. Marks, damaged decoration and salts can be useful clues, but appearance alone is not enough to confirm why a wall is damp.
For a broader look at wall damp and protection against moisture, see damp proofing in Greenford. This local hub introduces the area and our services, while those pages cover the specific work in more detail. If the symptoms are mixed or unclear, start with a survey rather than choosing a treatment yourself.

What are your call-out hours?
We are open 24 hours, seven days a week. Contact us to discuss attendance and survey times.
Does being near the Brent or canal mean I need a DPC?
No. Nearby water and wet ground are context, not a diagnosis. A survey should establish the moisture source before deciding whether damp proof course work is appropriate.
