Services
Rising Damp Treatment
Our rising damp treatment involves chemical injection damp proof courses using Dryzone cream. We remove affected plaster, inject water-repellent silicon resin into mortar beds, and apply waterproof renders. Electro Osmosis systems are available for listed buildings. Treatments come with 10-year insurance-backed guarantees, ensuring long-term protection against moisture migration through walls.
Condensation Control
We diagnose condensation issues through moisture mapping and recommend tailored solutions. Services include installing passive vents, mechanical ventilation systems, and thermal insulation upgrades. Our approach addresses root causes like poor airflow and temperature differentials, preventing mould growth and maintaining healthy indoor environments while preserving property integrity.
Timber Preservation
Specialist treatments for wet/dry rot and woodworm infestations involve structural assessments, removal of decayed timber, and chemical preservative applications. We replace affected joists and implement ventilation improvements to prevent recurrence. All work complies with British Standard Code of Practice and includes detailed reports with photographic evidence of treatment areas.
Property Surveys
Our comprehensive surveys identify damp sources, structural defects, and timber issues. Certified surveyors use thermal imaging and moisture meters to diagnose problems, providing detailed reports with photographic evidence, treatment recommendations, and cost breakdowns. Surveys start from 120, with urgent pre-purchase inspections available within 3-5 working days.
Specialist Plastering
Post-treatment plastering removes salt-contaminated materials and applies breathable sand/cement renders. We offer artex covering, crack repairs, and skim coats using salt-retardant additives. Our systems comply with British Standards, ensuring durable finishes that prevent damp recurrence while restoring walls to decorative condition with minimal disruption to occupants.
