Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp and moisture ingress through expert application of damp proof courses and wall treatments. We identify exact moisture sources before implementing tailored barriers that prevent recurrence. Treatments include chemical injections, salt neutralisation, and replastering affected areas to restore structural integrity.
Basement Tanking
Basement tanking creates watertight environments using cementitious coatings or cavity membrane systems. We specialise in London's challenging subterranean conditions, installing drainage channels and sump pumps where necessary. Our solutions enable safe conversion of damp basements into habitable spaces while protecting against future water ingress.
Timber Treatment
We treat dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations through targeted chemical applications and structural repairs. Our process involves removing affected timber, treating remaining structures, and implementing preventive measures. This restores wood integrity while preventing fungal spread to other building elements.
Condensation Control
Our condensation control services combine ventilation improvements with targeted treatments. We install mechanical ventilation systems and address thermal bridging points to prevent surface condensation. This eliminates mould growth while improving indoor air quality through sustained humidity regulation.
Damp Surveys
Our comprehensive damp surveys use moisture meters and visual inspections to identify exact causes. We differentiate between rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues. Reports include detailed recommendations and cost estimates for required treatments, ensuring informed decision-making.
