Services
Damp proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp through cavity membrane systems and moisture control. We conduct detailed surveys using electronic moisture meters and hygrometers to create accurate moisture profiles. Treatments include certified damp proof membrane installation with 10-year guarantees, avoiding inferior methods that cause long-term issues. Our approach preserves property value while ensuring structural integrity.
Basement waterproofing
Specialist basement waterproofing using cavity membrane systems compliant with BS8102 standards. We assess construction type and ground conditions to design bespoke solutions, including perimeter drainage and sump pumps. All installations use pressure-rated pipework and high-quality pumps for reliability. Treatments come with insurance-backed guarantees and transform damp basements into habitable spaces.
Condensation control
We resolve condensation issues through scientific diagnosis using hygrometers to measure humidity levels. Solutions range from extractor ventilators to whole-property positive-pressure systems. Our low-energy ventilation technology reduces moisture while improving indoor air quality, with installations completed quickly and cleanly to prevent mould and structural damage.
