Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions target rising damp caused by failed damp-proof courses. Using cream-based silane/siloxane injections, we create water-repellent barriers in masonry. The process includes moisture meter testing, wall probes, and breathable re-plastering to eliminate dampness permanently. Clients receive detailed reports with 20-year guarantees.
Condensation Control
Condensation control involves installing Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) systems to manage humidity. These units filter and circulate air, preventing mould growth by maintaining optimal moisture levels. We offer Nuaire systems with 7-year warranties, including heater functions for energy-efficient climate control in residential properties.
Timber Treatments
Specialist timber treatments address dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations. Our process includes identifying moisture sources, removing decay, and applying preservatives. We replace damaged structural timbers while ensuring ventilation improvements prevent recurrence, maintaining structural integrity and safety standards.
Mould Removal
Professional mould removal combines anti-fungal treatments with humidity management. We use biocides to eliminate existing growth, followed by ventilation upgrades like PIV systems. Our approach targets both visible mould and airborne spores, reducing health risks while preventing future outbreaks through sustained moisture control.
Basement Waterproofing
Basement waterproofing employs cavity drain membranes and sump pump systems to manage groundwater ingress. Our solutions comply with British Standard 8102, creating habitable spaces by preventing water penetration. We integrate drainage channels and vapour barriers for long-term protection against hydrostatic pressure.
