Damp & Mould in Basildon’s Housing Stock

Basildon is one of England's post-war New Towns, built largely from the 1950s onward with system-built and concrete-frame construction distinct from the Victorian terraces common elsewhere in Essex.

Flat-roofed and system-built 1950s–60s housing has its own particular damp risk profile — flat roof failures and cold bridging through concrete panels are more common causes than the solid-wall penetrating damp typical of Victorian stock.
