Part of Ward Property Services UK LtdCoulsdon is built across steep chalk valley sides, and that topography produces a very specific set of damp problems. Properties cut into a slope frequently have retaining walls, split-level rear gardens and rooms with earth against one wall — and where the tanking to those walls has failed, damp appears on an internal face with no obvious external cause.
The rest of Coulsdon's damp work looks more familiar: Victorian and Edwardian terraces with bridged or absent damp proof courses, inter-war semis with condensation, and modern flats near the station with humidity problems. We cover Coulsdon, Old Coulsdon, Woodmansterne and Hooley.
Local property types
Coulsdon town has Victorian and Edwardian terraced and semi-detached housing near the Brighton Road, with 1930s development spreading up the valley sides and post-war and modern estates in Old Coulsdon. Split-level and terraced-into-the-hill construction is common, as are properties with integral garages under living space. The station area has seen apartment development in recent years.
