Services
Rising Damp
Rising damp occurs when groundwater rises through brickwork, contaminating plaster with hygroscopic salts. Our solution involves installing a new damp-proof course and replastering with salt-resistant materials. We ensure long-term protection with a 20-year guarantee, addressing structural integrity and preventing recurrence.
Condensation
Condensation arises from high humidity due to poor ventilation. We install extraction systems and recommend lifestyle changes to reduce moisture. Our approach targets black mould eradication and improves indoor air quality, ensuring healthier living environments with lasting results.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp enters through porous brickwork, causing cold spots and stains. We repair external defects, apply waterproof coatings, and improve drainage. Our methods restore wall integrity and prevent water ingress, maintaining property warmth and dryness.
Woodrot
Dry rot develops in timber with over 20% moisture. We remove affected wood, apply fungicidal treatments, and improve ventilation. Our repairs prevent structural damage, ensuring timber longevity and property safety.
Woodworm
Woodworm infestations damage structural timbers. We inject insecticidal treatments, replace severely damaged wood, and seal surfaces. Our solutions halt infestations and protect against future outbreaks, preserving property integrity.
