Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp through advanced chemical injection systems and physical damp-proof course installations. We identify moisture sources, implement appropriate barriers, and repair damaged plasterwork. Treatments include salt neutralisation and breathable renders to restore wall integrity while maintaining structural aesthetics.
Wall Tie Repair
Specialist wall tie replacement services for properties with corroded metal ties. We conduct thorough cavity inspections, remove failed ties, and install stainless steel alternatives. Our non-invasive techniques maintain external wall appearance while restoring structural stability to cavity wall constructions.
Wet & Dry Rot
Comprehensive fungal decay treatment for wet and dry rot infestations. Our process involves moisture source elimination, affected timber removal, masonry sterilisation, and installation of treated replacement timbers. We apply fungicidal treatments to prevent future outbreaks while preserving structural integrity.
Questions
What are the signs of rising damp?
Look for peeling wallpaper, dark stains, musty smells, or tide marks on walls. These indicate moisture migration through masonry that requires professional treatment.
Do you provide guarantees for damp proofing?
Yes, we offer 30-year guarantees on all damp proofing treatments, ensuring no recurrence when our recommended solutions are implemented correctly.
How do wall ties affect property stability?
Cavity wall ties connect inner and outer walls for structural integrity. Corroded ties can cause bulging brickwork and horizontal cracks, requiring specialist replacement with stainless steel alternatives.
What areas do you cover?
We serve Chorley, Preston, Leyland, and all Lancashire locations. Emergency callouts are available 24/7 for urgent damp-related issues across our service area.
How much does a damp survey cost?
Our comprehensive moisture assessments come with no charge. We provide detailed reports identifying causes of dampness and recommend appropriate remedial actions without obligation.
Can dry rot spread through walls?
Yes, dry rot can travel through masonry transporting moisture. Our specialists eliminate sources, sterilise affected areas, and replace damaged timbers with treated alternatives to prevent recurrence.
