Damp Proofing
Sterling Preservation offers comprehensive damp-proofing solutions for rising, penetrating, and condensation-related damp. Our specialists conduct detailed surveys, identify moisture sources, and apply industry-approved treatments such as silicone damp-proof courses, tanking, and ventilation systems. All work is guaranteed for 10 years, ensuring long-term property protection and improved indoor air quality.
Timber Preservation
We provide timber preservation against fungal decay, insect infestation, and rot in residential and commercial properties. Our methods include chemical treatments, structural repairs, and replacement of compromised timbers. Services extend to lime rendering, joist support, and cavity drainage, ensuring structural integrity and longevity for roof beams, floorboards, and subfloor areas.
Property Maintenance
Our property maintenance services address damp-related damage and general building upkeep. We offer lime rendering, mortar repointing, extractor fan installation, and kitchen refits. Additional works include gutter repairs, insulation, and electrical upgrades, all performed to industry standards using traditional materials and modern techniques.
Condensation Treatment
Sterling Preservation tackles condensation and mould through humidity control units, extractor fans, and ventilation improvements. We install automated systems to regulate relative humidity, preventing dew point and mould recurrence. Our solutions enhance indoor air quality and protect property finishes while addressing underlying moisture sources.
Mould Removal
We specialise in removing mould caused by condensation and damp, restoring affected areas with antifungal treatments and ventilation upgrades. Our team repairs damaged surfaces, replaces compromised materials, and implements preventive measures such as extractor fans and thermal insulation to ensure lasting results.
