The buildings

Collective residences from the 1960s and 70s, three to five rooms, long balconies, individual cellars in the basement. Original finishes are common, and damp concentrates on whichever façade gets least sun.

The access problem

Sloping approach roads and underground car parks with a height barrier that usually rules out a lorry. Loading then happens from the street, with the building manager’s agreement to occupy a space. Lifts are sized for people, not for furniture.

A job typical of this area

A flat left closed for several seasons in a hillside residence. The damp measured before any treatment, controlled drying, then full repair for re-letting. The cellar, forgotten in the original request, turned out to be a third of the volume on its own.

An illustrative case, reconstructed from real work. Nothing that could identify a person or an address is published.

How long it takes

Four to seven days for a three-room flat with a cellar. Add two or three days when drying has to come first: a treatment applied to a surface that is still wet does not hold.

Observed duration for this kind of property. It depends on the volume, the state of the place, and when the written instruction reaches us.
