Services
Rising Damp
Rising damp occurs when groundwater salts contaminate plaster, causing moisture absorption. We install damp-proof courses and replaster walls to prevent recurrence. Our 20-year guarantee ensures long-term protection, combining technical expertise with minimal disruption to your home.
Condensation
High humidity from modern insulation and poor ventilation leads to black mould. We address root causes, improve airflow, and treat affected areas. Our solutions reduce health risks and prevent future condensation in energy-efficient homes.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp results from porous brickwork, causing cold spots and stains. We repair external walls, seal gaps, and apply waterproof coatings. Our methods restore wall integrity and prevent moisture ingress in older and modern properties.
Woodrot
Dry rot spreads rapidly in damp timber, threatening structural integrity. We remove affected wood, treat remaining timbers, and improve ventilation. Our approach stops rot progression and safeguards your property against future decay.
Woodworm
Woodworm infestations damage floorboards and joists. We inspect properties, treat infested areas with insecticides, and replace severely damaged timber. Our treatments eliminate larvae and prevent reinfestation, preserving structural stability.
