Services
Rising Damp
Our rising damp treatments address groundwater migration through walls using chemical damp proof courses and plaster repairs. We identify moisture sources and implement lasting solutions to restore structural integrity. Each intervention includes moisture testing and guarantees for residential and commercial properties.
Dry Rot
Specialist dry rot treatments involve removing infected timber, applying fungicides, and improving ventilation. We target fungal spread through masonry and wood, restoring structural stability with pressure-treated replacements. Our methods prevent recurrence while preserving original building features in period properties.
Resin Beam Repairs
Resin beam end treatments reinforce damaged timber structures without full replacement. We remove decayed sections, inject high-grade resins, and strengthen load-bearing elements. This cost-effective solution maintains structural integrity while avoiding disruptive reconstruction in historic buildings.
Condensation Control
Our condensation control services reduce indoor moisture through mechanical ventilation systems and environmental adjustments. We address mould growth and damp patches by improving airflow patterns, particularly in problem areas like basements and period properties with traditional construction methods.
Basement Conversions
Basement waterproofing creates dry living or storage spaces through membrane systems and drainage solutions. We implement Type A (barrier), Type B (structurally integral), and Type C (drained) protection methods to manage water ingress. Each conversion includes moisture management planning for long-term usability.
