Services
Damp Proofing
Our chemical damp proofing services utilise BBA-certified methods including Dryzone cream, FreezTeq pellets, and high-pressure injection systems. We address rising dampness through precision drilling and silicone resin treatments that create permanent moisture barriers in masonry walls. Our technicians follow strict specifications for horizontal damp course installation, ensuring compliance with BSCP 102 standards for external ground clearance.
Timber Preservation
We specialise in timber preservation treatments using inorganic borates and glycol borate formulations. Our remedial services eradicate dry rot and wet rot through chemical sprays, structural replacements, and toxic box injections. Preventative treatments protect against future infestations while maintaining dimensional stability in finished joinery items and structural timbers.
Condensation Control
Our condensation management services address moisture problems in bathrooms, kitchens, and roof spaces. We implement mechanical ventilation systems including PIV units that maintain optimal humidity levels. Our surveys identify causes of condensation in double-glazed properties and cavity-insulated buildings, providing tailored solutions to prevent mould growth and structural damage.
Professional Surveys
We conduct comprehensive property investigations using endoscopes, thermohygrometers, and pH testing equipment. Our detailed computerised reports identify moisture sources, structural defects, and timber decay issues. Surveys include photographic documentation and recommendations for remedial treatments tailored to each property's specific conditions.
pH Testing
Our on-site pH testing service assesses concrete floor construction for acid and sulphate attack. Using 10mm percussion drilling techniques, we analyse samples to determine chemical degradation without requiring laboratory testing. This non-destructive method provides immediate results while minimising disruption to property occupants.
