Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing service addresses rising and penetrating damp through specialist membrane installations and chemical injections. CSRT surveyors identify moisture sources before applying PCA-approved solutions. Treatments include cavity drainage systems and plaster replacement, ensuring structural longevity for residential and commercial properties.
Woodworm Treatment
Targeted woodworm treatments eliminate infestations using brush/spray applications and structural fumigation. Our PCA-certified technicians conduct thorough surveys to assess damage extent before implementing eradication protocols. Post-treatment repairs restore affected timber integrity, with preventative measures advised for ongoing protection.
Wall Tie Replacement
Corroded wall tie replacement involves installing stainless steel ties after optical borescope inspections. We follow PCA guidelines to restore cavity wall stability, addressing horizontal cracking caused by failed original ties. Remedial work prevents structural movement in domestic and industrial buildings.
Dry Rot Treatment
Specialist dry rot treatments involve affected timber removal and antifungal applications. Our surveyors identify moisture sources enabling fungal growth, implementing environmental controls to prevent recurrence. All interventions comply with PCA remediation standards for complete eradication.
Pre-Purchase Surveys
Pre-purchase surveys identify hidden damp or timber issues in prospective property acquisitions. Using thermal imaging and moisture meters, we assess structural condition, providing detailed reports with repair cost estimates. This service helps buyers make informed investment decisions.
