Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing services address rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation through chemical injection, damp-proof courses, and ventilation systems. We use breathable materials to restore structural integrity and prevent future moisture ingress. Each solution includes a detailed survey and a 20-year guarantee.
Timber Preservation
Timber preservation treatments combat wet rot, dry rot, and woodworm infestations. Our specialists apply fungicidal and insecticidal solutions, replace damaged timbers, and install protective coatings. All work follows industry standards and includes long-term guarantees against recurrence.
Basement Waterproofing
Basement waterproofing systems prevent water ingress in below-ground spaces. We install cavity drain membranes, cementitious tanking, and structural waterproofing solutions tailored to residential and commercial properties. Our methods comply with building regulations and ensure habitable, dry environments.
Rising Damp Treatment
Rising damp treatment involves injecting chemical damp-proof courses to stop moisture migration through walls. Our surveys identify salt contamination, and we replace affected plaster with breathable alternatives. This process halts structural decay and decorative damage.
Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm treatments eliminate beetle larvae infesting structural timbers. We apply penetrating insecticides, remove compromised wood, and replace it with treated alternatives. Post-treatment inspections ensure complete eradication and long-term protection against reinfestation.
