Damp proofing and black mould removal in Grimsby
New Look Building Services offers damp proofing and black mould removal in Grimsby, with related roof, gutter and brickwork repairs available when water is entering the building.
Damp patches and black mould in the home
- Damp proofing and mould removal are different jobs, and the right approach depends on where the moisture is coming from. We provide both services around Grimsby, with roofing and building repairs available where an external defect needs attention.
- Water marks that follow rainfall may relate to the roof, gutters, wall joints or another external defect.
- Condensation can contribute to mould around windows and corners, so removing a patch alone may leave the moisture problem unresolved.
- Peeling finishes and repeated damp patches need consideration of the wall condition and the moisture entering it.
Damp and mould work available
Treatment should fit the cause and the affected materials, rather than assuming every damp wall needs the same product.

How damp repair work is approached
The location of the moisture and when it appears help separate a building leak from condensation or another damp problem.
- 01
The affected room
The position of the marks and any changes after rain help establish what needs investigating.
- 02
The building outside
Roof edges, gutters and wall surfaces may need attention where water is entering through a defect.
- 03
Treatment and repairs
Mould removal or damp proofing is considered alongside any work needed to address the underlying moisture.
Damp proofing and mould removal prices
The affected area, the cause of the moisture and the repairs needed determine the cost. A small local patch and moisture affecting several rooms involve different work.
- The damp or mould quotation includes materials.
- Decoration and any additional building repairs need to be identified individually.
- Each job is quoted after assessing the property and the work required.
- Materials are included in the quote.
What the damp work is intended to achieve
The aim is to deal with the affected area and the reason it has become wet, rather than cover a mark with fresh paint.
- An understood moisture problem
- A repair plan distinguishes surface treatment from work to the building itself.
- Attention to affected surfaces
- Mould removal and damp proofing address different types of damage and are chosen for the property.

Questions about damp and mould
Understanding the moisture helps avoid paying for the wrong repair.
Do you remove black mould?+
Yes. Black mould removal is one of our advertised services, alongside damp proofing. The affected surfaces and the cause of the moisture determine the work required.
— Francis
Will painting over mould solve it?+
Painting changes the finish but does not establish why moisture is present. The cause needs attention as well as the affected surface; otherwise the same problem can return.
— Francis
Can a leaking gutter cause a damp wall?+
An external defect such as damaged rainwater goods can allow water into a building. We also offer guttering repairs, so a gutter problem can be considered alongside damp work.
Is all damp rising damp?+
No. North East Lincolnshire Council distinguishes several types of dampness, including penetrating damp and condensation. A mark on a wall alone does not establish the cause.
Where is your damp service available?+
We cover Grimsby and the surrounding area, including Cleethorpes, Immingham, Healing and Laceby. The work is quoted for the affected property rather than sold as one standard treatment.
