Services
Rising Damp Treatments
Our rising damp treatments address moisture intrusion through walls caused by failed damp-proof courses. Using chemical damp-proofing and replastering, we eliminate tide marks and salt deposits. Ideal for older properties, this service restores structural integrity and prevents further damage, ensuring dry, safe walls for residential and commercial buildings.
Dry Rot Solutions
Dry rot treatments target Serpula Lacrymans infestations that weaken timber structures. We identify moisture sources, remove affected timbers, and apply fungicidal treatments. This service is critical for preserving structural integrity in historic and modern buildings, preventing costly repairs and health risks from fungal spores.
Condensation Control
Our condensation solutions reduce moisture buildup in poorly ventilated spaces. We install anti-condensation units and thermal plasterboarding to improve air quality and prevent black mould growth. This service is essential for maintaining healthy living conditions in flats, bungalows, and older properties with insulation upgrades.
Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm treatments eliminate beetle infestations that damage structural timbers. We apply insecticidal solutions and replace severely affected wood with pre-treated alternatives. This service protects properties from progressive structural weakening, particularly in damp environments with poor sub-floor ventilation.
Cellar Tanking
Cellar tanking uses cavity drainage membranes to convert damp basements into habitable spaces. Our system resists salts and vibrations, offering durable protection against groundwater ingress. This service includes structural waterproofing and optional building upgrades like electrical and heating installations for complete basement conversions.
