  • Holborn homes often need specification choices that reflect their build type rather than generic trade assumptions.
  • The right approach depends on whether the property is being upgraded for long-term living, rental use, or resale presentation.

Planning and compliance

  • Damp Proofing work should be scoped against the property age, approvals, and live-site constraints before specification is fixed.
  • Managed blocks, shared structures, and conservation conditions can all affect how damp proofing is delivered in Holborn.
  • Programme planning should account for compliance sequencing, neighbour impact, and access logistics from the start.

What changes scope and cost
