Services
Rising Damp
Our rising damp treatments address moisture migration through walls using Dryzone Damp Proofing Cream and electro-osmosis systems. We remove contaminated plaster, install new damp-proof courses, and apply specialist renders to prevent recurrence. Backed by 10-year guarantees, our solutions restore structural integrity while maintaining breathability. Surveys identify root causes before implementing tailored interventions.
Condensation Control
We resolve condensation issues through ventilation improvements and moisture control systems. Our surveys identify cold spots and humidity sources, then recommend passive vents, mechanical systems, or insulation upgrades. We address black mould growth and provide long-term solutions that create healthier living environments while preventing timber decay.
Wet and Dry Rot
Specialist treatments for fungal decay include environmental controls, chemical fungicides, and timber replacement. Our surveys identify rot types and moisture sources, then implement eradication protocols. We combine ventilation improvements with targeted treatments to prevent recurrence, ensuring structural safety and preserving property value.
Wood Boring Insects
We identify active infestations through frass analysis and moisture readings. Treatments range from drying techniques to chemical applications and affected timber replacement. Our surveys determine species-specific solutions, prioritising minimal intervention while ensuring complete eradication of woodworm, death watch beetles, and other pests.
Plastering
Our plastering services restore walls after damp treatments using sand-cement renders and multi-finish plasters. We address salt contamination and provide seamless finishes that complement damp-proofing work. Techniques include re-skims, rendering, and artex covering to ensure both structural integrity and aesthetic quality.
