Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing service eliminates rising damp through expert moisture ingress analysis and tailored treatments. We install damp-proof courses and apply chemical injections to stop damp migration. All work includes a 30-year guarantee, ensuring long-term protection against peeling wallpaper, musty smells, and structural damage.
Wall Tie Repair
Wall tie repair addresses corroded or failed cavity wall ties in pre-1980s properties. We inspect ties, replace rusted metal with stainless steel, and restore structural integrity. This prevents bulging brickwork and horizontal cracks while maintaining minimal disruption to homeowners.

Dry rot treatment involves removing infested timbers, sterilising masonry, and applying fungicidal chemicals. We replace damaged wood with treated alternatives and address moisture sources to prevent recurrence, ensuring structural safety and compliance with building standards.
Wet Rot Treatment
