Damp proofing in Wyberton
Wyberton lies immediately south-west of Boston on the B1397, the old London Road, close enough to town that the two have almost grown together. The parish runs from the village core near the Grade I listed church of St Leodegar right out across Wyberton Fen.
Being on the low road between Boston and Kirton, Wyberton shares the town's ground conditions: reclaimed silt, field drains everywhere, and a water table that never drops far. The church has stood here since the twelfth century, so people have been managing water in Wyberton for over eight hundred years. The houses just have to manage it wall by wall.
The housing mix leans newer than central Boston. Alongside the older properties near the church and along the old main road, Wyberton took a large share of Boston's late twentieth-century growth, with estate housing filling in between the village and the town. That shows in the enquiries: fewer classic rising damp cases than the Victorian terraces in town, and a great deal of winter condensation and mould, plus penetrating damp where gables and chimneys face the open fen to the west.
