Services
Damp Proofing
Our chemical damp proof course injection stops rising damp by creating a waterproof barrier in masonry. We use specialist replastering techniques to address hygroscopic salts, providing 10-year guarantees. The service includes comprehensive surveys to identify damp causes and tailored remedial solutions for both residential and commercial properties.
Timber Preservation
We treat wood-boring insect infestations using low-odour chemical formulations. Our surveys identify specific beetle species to determine appropriate treatment. All timber preservation work includes structural assessments and comes with 10-year guarantees, ensuring complete eradication of infestations while maintaining building integrity.
Basement Waterproofing
We offer two waterproofing systems: cementitious tanking that diverts water ingress and cavity drain membranes with sump pump installations. Both solutions include 10-year guarantees and are tailored to property-specific conditions, including high water table scenarios and limited access spaces.
Condensation Control
Our condensation solutions include installing humidity-controlled extractor units and condensation control systems. We address mould growth causes through improved ventilation strategies, offering both residential and commercial installations that prevent moisture build-up and associated health risks.
Dry Rot Treatment
We provide comprehensive dry rot treatment involving affected timber removal and chemical preservation. Our surveys identify moisture sources causing decay, with treatments including fungicidal applications and structural repairs. All dry rot work comes with 10-year guarantees to prevent recurrence.
