Damp & Mould in South Shields’s Housing Stock
South Shields' rental stock includes Victorian terraces built near the town's former shipyards, alongside Tyneside flats typical of the wider Tyne and Wear area.
As with other former shipbuilding towns on the Tyne, older solid-wall terraces without cavity insulation remain common, keeping fabric-related damp a frequent complaint in the private rented sector.
