Handyman in Brixton: local knowledge
Brixton's Victorian terraces have been extensively converted into flats, and many of the conversions from the 1980s and 1990s are now reaching the point where the fit-outs need significant refurbishment. Basement flats are particularly challenging, with damp affecting flooring, skirting boards, and lower wall plaster. The shared nature of many buildings means coordinating maintenance across multiple leaseholders is a common headache.

Pro tip for Brixton homeowners
If you own a basement flat in a Brixton Victorian conversion, avoid using MDF skirting boards and architraves at ground level. MDF swells irreversibly when it absorbs moisture, and in basement flats there is always some moisture present. Softwood or moisture-resistant MR MDF will last far longer and can be painted to the same finish.

The skirting boards in my Brixton basement flat keep going soft and mouldy. What is the permanent fix?
Replacing skirting boards without addressing the damp behind them is a temporary fix at best. We tackle this by removing the damaged skirting, checking the wall for damp, treating it if needed with a tanking system or renovation plaster, and then fitting new skirting with a ventilation gap behind it. We use either redwood softwood or moisture-resistant MDF rather than standard MDF, which disintegrates when damp. This approach deals with the cause and uses materials that can tolerate the slightly higher moisture levels common in basement flats.
