Services
Damp proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues through chemical injections and physical barriers. We install damp proof courses to British Standards, ensuring long-term protection against moisture ingress. Services include wall tie replacement and external coating applications for structural integrity.
Basement waterproofing
We provide basement waterproofing using cementitious tanking systems and cavity drain membranes. Our solutions prevent water ingress in below-ground structures, incorporating sump pumps and drainage systems where required. Both positive and negative pressure waterproofing methods are applied to meet specific site conditions.
Woodworm treatment
Specialist woodworm eradication involves identifying beetle species and applying micro-emulsion preservatives. We treat infested timber with sprays, pastes, or gels, and replace severely damaged structural timbers. Our methods comply with conservation standards for historic properties.
Rising damp treatment
Rising damp treatment involves drilling walls and injecting silicone-based damp proof course gels. We address failed original damp courses and install new barriers to prevent moisture migration. This method suits solid and cavity walls across residential and commercial buildings.
Dry rot repair
Dry rot treatment includes identifying spore sources, removing infected timber, and applying anti-fungal treatments. We replace structurally compromised timbers and implement ventilation improvements to prevent recurrence. Emergency interventions stop fungal spread through masonry and adjacent structures.
