Services
Rising Damp Treatment
Rising damp treatment involves installing chemical damp proof courses in accordance with British Standards. We remove contaminated plaster, apply anti-sulphate solutions, and use lightweight renovating plaster for lasting results. Our methods prevent ground moisture from damaging walls, ensuring structural integrity and occupant health.
Condensation Control
Condensation control addresses moisture buildup through eco-friendly ventilation systems and lifestyle adjustments. We diagnose causes like poor insulation and recommend solutions ranging from extractor fans to advanced air filtration. Our approach eliminates mould growth and improves indoor air quality sustainably.
Penetrating Damp Solutions
Penetrating damp solutions target water ingress from external sources like faulty guttering or porous brickwork. We apply SecoTherm coatings, repair structural defects, and install breathable membranes to prevent moisture penetration while allowing walls to evaporate trapped water.
Mould Remediation
Mould remediation tackles black mould caused by condensation using safe, effective techniques. We identify moisture sources, clean affected areas, and implement preventive measures like improved ventilation. Our services reduce health risks associated with fungal spores and restore property hygiene.
Timber Preservation
Timber preservation combats dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations. We remove infected materials, apply chemical treatments, and reinforce structural timbers. Our solutions halt decay progression and protect against future attacks, ensuring timber longevity in treated properties.
