Services
Rising Damp Treatment
Our rising damp specialists diagnose and resolve moisture intrusion through ground-level walls using chemical injections and waterproof renders. We remove damaged plaster, neutralise salts, and install tanking systems to create permanent barriers. With a 30-year guarantee, our solutions prevent structural damage and health risks from mould growth while preserving your property's integrity.
Basement Tanking
We transform damp basements into usable spaces through cavity drainage membranes, sump pumps, and cementitious coatings. Our systems manage water ingress from London's high water table, protecting against structural damage. All installations come with a 30-year watertight guarantee, ensuring dry, habitable spaces for living or storage purposes.
Condensation Control
Our condensation specialists identify moisture sources and implement ventilation solutions like Nuaire units while addressing existing mould issues. We use thermal imaging to detect hidden damp patches and provide tailored advice on maintaining optimal humidity levels, preventing recurring problems and associated health risks.
Timber Treatment
We eradicate dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations through targeted chemical treatments and structural repairs. Our specialists remove compromised timber, treat remaining structures, and implement preventive measures, restoring structural integrity while protecting against future decay in London's older properties.
Homebuyer Surveys
Our comprehensive surveys use moisture meters and thermal imaging to detect hidden damp issues before property purchases. We offer three assessment levels with detailed reports and lab analysis options, helping buyers make informed decisions while deducting survey costs from remedial work if required.
