Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing service eliminates rising and penetrating damp through chemical damp courses and ventilation improvements. We use British Standard-compliant materials to create moisture barriers in walls, preventing structural damage and mould growth. Ideal for homeowners seeking permanent solutions to persistent damp issues in older properties.
Woodworm Treatment
Professional woodworm treatment targets beetle infestations in structural timbers using eco-friendly chemical treatments. We identify active infestations, remove compromised wood, and apply protective coatings to prevent recurrence. This service preserves the integrity of load-bearing beams and floor joists in residential properties.
Rising Damp
Rising damp solutions involve injecting silicone-based damp proof courses into masonry walls. Our technicians address salt contamination in plaster and install ventilation systems to manage moisture. This prevents wall decay and maintains indoor air quality in ground-floor areas affected by groundwater migration.
Basement Conversions
We transform damp basements into habitable spaces through structural waterproofing and drainage systems. Our conversions include installing sump pumps, cavity drainage membranes, and breathable insulation. This creates dry, energy-efficient rooms for kitchens, bathrooms, or entertainment areas in domestic properties.
Salting Remedies
Salting remedies address hygroscopic salt deposits in masonry caused by rising damp. We remove contaminated plaster, apply salt-inhibiting renders, and install breathable wall systems. This prevents recurring damp patches and structural damage in walls affected by crystalline salt accumulation.

Questions
What causes damp in Blackpool properties?
Blackpool's coastal climate brings high rainfall and humidity, while older properties often lack modern ventilation. These factors combine to create condensation and penetrating damp issues requiring specialist treatment.
How do you identify rising damp?
Our CSTDB-qualified surveyors use moisture meters and visual inspections to detect rising damp. Tell-tale signs include tide-like stains on walls and salt deposits in masonry, typically up to 1.5m from ground level.
Can I treat damp myself?
While DIY solutions exist, professional intervention is recommended. Our treatments use commercial-grade materials and come with 10-30 year guarantees, ensuring complete moisture elimination and structural protection.
What areas do you cover?
We operate across Blackpool, the Fylde Coast, Preston, and throughout Lancashire. Emergency callouts are available for urgent damp-related structural concerns in domestic properties.
Do you offer guarantees?
Yes, we provide 30-year warranties on timber treatments and 10-year structural waterproofing guarantees. All work meets British Standards and is performed by certified damp proofing specialists.
How much does damp proofing cost?
Costs vary by property size and issue severity. After a free survey, we provide competitive quotes with transparent pricing. Most standard treatments start from £1,500 including materials and labour.
