Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions tackle rising damp through scientific methods. We conduct comprehensive surveys using moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify issues. Specialist damp-proofing injection systems create water-repellent barriers in brickwork, followed by breathable re-plastering. Optional condensation management and timber treatments ensure complete property protection.
Condensation Control
We specialise in condensation control through PIV unit installations and ventilation upgrades. Our assessments identify moisture sources like poor ventilation or structural issues. We install Nuaire-certified systems that continuously circulate filtered air, preventing mould growth. Follow-up checks ensure optimal humidity levels below 60% for healthy living environments.
Timber Treatments
Our timber treatments address dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations. We use chemical treatments and structural replacements to eliminate fungal decay. Thermal imaging identifies hidden damage while moisture readings guide remediation. Services include structural repairs, biocide applications, and preventive treatments for long-term timber preservation in residential and commercial properties.
Mould Removal
Professional mould removal services target both visible growth and hidden spores. We use specialist equipment to clean affected areas while identifying moisture sources. Treatments include anti-fungal applications, HEPA vacuuming, and air quality improvements. Post-remediation guidance helps prevent recurrence through proper ventilation and humidity control measures.
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing combines structural repairs with moisture management. We install cavity drain membranes and sump pump systems to manage water ingress. Internal damp-proof courses and ventilation upgrades prevent damp migration. Comprehensive surveys identify structural weaknesses before implementing tailored solutions for long-term dryness in below-ground spaces.
