Services
Rising Damp Treatment
Our rising damp treatment involves installing chemical damp proof courses in accordance with British Standard BS-6576-1985. We remove contaminated plaster, apply anti-sulphate solutions, and use lightweight renovating plaster to prevent salt contamination. This method ensures long-term protection while preserving structural integrity.
Condensation Control
Condensation control includes eco-friendly ventilation systems and lifestyle advice to reduce humidity. We diagnose sources like poor insulation or blocked chimneys, then recommend extractor fans, air vents, or plaster treatments to maintain healthy indoor air quality and prevent mould growth.
Penetrating Damp Treatment
Penetrating damp treatment addresses water ingress through walls using tanking membranes or SecoTherm coatings. We repair defective brickwork, gutters, and roofing while ensuring breathability, allowing trapped moisture to evaporate and preventing future saturation.
Timber Treatments
Timber treatments target dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations. We remove infected materials, apply chemical preservatives, and replace damaged timbers to restore structural stability. This prevents fungal spread and extends the lifespan of wooden components in affected properties.
Mould Removal
Mould removal involves identifying moisture sources, cleaning affected areas with antifungal solutions, and improving ventilation. We address underlying damp issues to prevent recurrence, ensuring safe environments free from allergens linked to respiratory health risks.
