Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues through chemical DPC injections, tanking systems, and ventilation improvements. We conduct thorough moisture assessments before implementing tailored treatments to prevent recurrence. Each project includes expert plastering and membrane installations to restore structural integrity.
Woodworm Treatment
Specialist woodworm eradication involves identifying infestation extent, applying boron-based treatments, and replacing severely damaged timbers. We use low-profile membranes and structural repairs to prevent future outbreaks while maintaining building aesthetics. Treatments comply with current preservation standards for residential and commercial properties.
Dry Rot Repair
Dry rot remediation includes locating moisture sources, removing infected timbers, and applying fungicidal treatments. We install wall and floor membranes, replace damaged plaster to 1.2m height, and implement ventilation solutions. Our approach stops fungal spread while restoring structural stability to affected areas.
Penetrating Damp Solutions
We resolve penetrating damp through external wall coatings, cavity drainage membranes, and sump pump installations. Our technicians identify entry points from leaking roofs or defective masonry, then implement waterproofing systems to prevent water ingress and internal damage.
Structural Membrane Installation
Wall and floor membrane systems create effective moisture barriers against persistent damp. We install high-density polyethylene membranes with proper drainage channels, ensuring compliance with building regulations. This prevents damp migration while allowing structures to breathe and dry naturally.
