Services
Dry Rot Treatment
Our dry rot treatment addresses severe timber decay caused by Serpula Lacrymans fungus. We eliminate moisture sources, apply fungicides, and replace damaged timbers while preventing recurrence through barrier systems. Expert diagnosis ensures complete eradication of hidden infestations.
Damp Proofing
We install remedial damp proof courses using chemical injection systems to stop rising damp. Our solutions include salt-contaminated plaster replacement and moisture management strategies for long-term structural protection against penetrating damp issues.
Waterproofing Tanking
Specialist waterproofing systems create barriers against groundwater ingress. We implement Type A cementitious coatings, Type B structural concrete solutions, and Type C cavity drainage membranes to protect below-ground structures from persistent dampness.
Building Surveys
Our qualified surveyors conduct comprehensive inspections for timber defects and damp issues. We produce detailed reports with treatment recommendations, covering pre-purchase evaluations and mortgage survey requirements across residential and commercial properties.
Wall Tie Repairs
We replace failed cavity wall ties with stainless steel alternatives using resin-bonded or mechanical fixing methods. Our structural reinforcement solutions restore wall stability and prevent moisture penetration through compromised masonry joints.
