Services
Basement Conversions
Transforming underused basements into functional living spaces requires specialist waterproofing expertise. Our team provides comprehensive conversions incorporating structural reinforcement, damp-proofing membranes, and bespoke design solutions. With decades of experience, we ensure every converted basement remains dry and habitable while meeting building regulations.
Rising Damp Treatment
Specialist remediation for moisture ascending through building materials. We install replacement damp-proof courses and treat affected areas using industry-approved methods. Our solutions address salt contamination and plaster replacement, restoring wall integrity while preventing future moisture ingress in period properties.
Cellar Tanking
Creating watertight environments through cementitious tanking systems. We apply specialised coatings to subterranean structures, forming impermeable barriers against groundwater. This traditional method remains highly effective for protecting basements against persistent damp issues while maintaining structural integrity.
Timber Treatments
Comprehensive protection against wood-boring insects and fungal decay. Our treatments target dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations using preservatives that extend timber lifespan. We combine chemical treatments with moisture control strategies to prevent recurrence in both structural and decorative wood elements.
Damp Proofing
Preventative and remedial solutions for property moisture management. Services include damp-proof course installation, wall membrane systems, and condensation control measures. Our approach combines technical expertise with building science principles to create lasting dry environments in challenging subterranean spaces.
