Services
Timber Treatment
Our timber treatment services address dry rot, wet rot, and beetle infestations in structural and decorative wood. Using pressure treatment, surface coatings, and boron-based solutions, we preserve timber integrity across residential and commercial properties. Ideal for lofts, basements, and historic buildings, our methods prevent decay while maintaining wood aesthetics. All treatments include post-remediation checks to ensure long-term protection.
Basement Tanking
Cementitious coatings and cavity drain membranes form our tanking solutions for damp basements and cellars. We install waterproof barriers that withstand hydrostatic pressure, transforming unusable spaces into habitable areas. Services include moisture mapping, membrane installation, and compliance checks for new-build and retrofit projects. Our systems carry extended warranties for commercial and domestic applications.
Damp Surveys
Comprehensive damp surveys identify rising damp, condensation, and penetrating damp through moisture meter analysis and visual assessments. We provide detailed reports with recommended treatments, including ventilation improvements and structural repairs. Surveys cover listed buildings, new developments, and rental properties, ensuring precise diagnosis before remedial action.
Mould Treatment
Professional mould treatment combines surface cleaning with root-cause prevention. Our process includes fungicidal application, humidity monitoring, and Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system installation to eliminate recurrent black mould. Services cover residential homes, student accommodations, and commercial kitchens with minimal disruption to occupants.
PIV Installation
Energy-efficient PIV units are installed to prevent condensation-related mould in poorly ventilated properties. These systems introduce filtered air through loft-mounted units, maintaining optimal humidity levels. We offer PIV as standalone installations or integrated with mould treatment packages, suitable for both modern and traditional buildings.
