Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing service addresses rising damp through comprehensive surveys using moisture meters to identify causes. We remove affected plaster, inject chemical damp proof courses, and apply salt inhibitors to prevent recurrence. The process includes rendering walls with breathable materials and replastering with lightweight solutions that allow moisture evacuation while maintaining structural integrity.
Basement Conversions
We transform damp basements into habitable spaces using Newton membrane tanking systems. Our process includes installing cavity drainage channels, sump pumps, and ventilation systems to manage moisture. Insulation and dry-lining ensure thermal efficiency while waterproof membranes create a 50-year guaranteed watertight environment suitable for living spaces or utility rooms.
Wet Dry Rot Removal
Our specialists identify and remove affected timber caused by wet/dry rot. We apply fungicidal treatments to remaining structures and replace damaged wood with treated replacements. The process includes moisture source elimination and ventilation improvements to prevent recurrence, with 20-year guarantees on completed treatments.
Flood Damage Repair
We provide emergency flood response including water extraction, dehumidification, and structural drying. Our process involves antimicrobial treatments, plaster replacement, and salt inhibition to prevent long-term damage. We address health risks from contaminants and restore properties to habitable conditions while preventing future damp issues.
Mould Removal
Our mould removal service includes relative humidity testing to identify condensation causes. We clean affected areas with antimicrobial sprays, apply fungicidal paints, and install ventilation systems like SRHRU units. We address underlying moisture sources and provide solutions to maintain healthy indoor air quality and prevent recurrence.
