Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing specialists identify and resolve moisture intrusion issues through comprehensive surveys and targeted treatments. We address condensation, rain penetration, and rising damp using industry-approved methods that include chemical damp proof course installation and salt-contaminated plaster replacement. With 26 years' experience, we guarantee lasting solutions that protect building integrity while maintaining minimal disruption to property occupants.
Rising Damp Treatments
Specialist rising damp solutions involve installing chemical damp proof courses and replacing contaminated plaster. Our technicians identify moisture pathways through capillary action, treating affected walls while preserving structural integrity. We address ground salt migration issues and provide guarantees of 20-30 years, ensuring complete resolution of vertical moisture movement in both residential and commercial properties.
Dry Rot Remediation
Our dry rot treatments target fungal decay that spreads through masonry and timber structures. We implement containment strategies, remove infected materials, and apply protective treatments to prevent recurrence. With expertise in historic building preservation, we restore structural integrity while maintaining original architectural features, offering comprehensive guarantees on all remediation work.
Woodworm Treatment
Professional woodworm control addresses common furniture beetle and wood-boring weevil infestations. Our treatments involve targeted application of fungicidal pastes and preventive measures for structural timber. We replace severely damaged wood and implement monitoring systems, ensuring complete eradication of wood-boring insects while preserving building materials.
Historic Building Restoration
Specialist damp proofing services for churches and historic buildings combine traditional techniques with modern preservation methods. We address unique moisture challenges in period properties while maintaining architectural integrity. Our team implements discreet damp control solutions that respect original construction methods and materials.
Questions
What causes rising damp in buildings?
Rising damp occurs when groundwater moves vertically through porous building materials via capillary action, typically due to failed or bridged damp proof courses.
How long do damp proofing guarantees last?
We offer 20-30 year guarantees on all damp proofing treatments, reflecting our confidence in the quality and longevity of our solutions.
Can damp affect historic buildings differently?
Yes, historic buildings require specialist treatment due to traditional construction methods and materials that demand preservation-focused damp control approaches.
What's the difference between dry rot and wet rot?
Dry rot spreads through masonry and timber causing extensive damage, while wet rot remains localized in damp wood without spreading to structural materials.
How disruptive are damp proofing treatments?
Our team minimises disruption through careful planning, protective measures, and thorough daily clean-up, ensuring habitable spaces remain functional during treatments.
Do you provide property-specific damp surveys?
Yes, we conduct comprehensive surveys identifying moisture sources and recommending tailored solutions, starting at £125.00 for detailed property assessments.
