Grounds built above damp course
Sep 18th, 2018, 9:14pm
 
Hi, we have damp in most of downstairs and after eliminating other  causes think it is due to the concrete paths around the house being built too high against the house and also being cracked. We basically need the grounds dug up, dug deeper and re-done and with sufficient drainage solutions put in place. However we don't know who to contact to do this, whether it would be a builder or a paving specialist or groundsworker or someone else etc etc

A landscaper would be first choice but a builder may also be interested in doing this sort of work. Make sure you find someone who looks fit and strong, this sort of job is hard work and so be prepared for it being more expensive than you possibly expected.
