Services
Damp Proofing
We specialise in resolving rising damp and penetrating damp issues through chemical damp proof courses and neutralising solutions. Our methods address moisture intrusion in both domestic and commercial properties, preventing structural damage and health risks. With insurance-backed guarantees up to 35 years, we ensure long-term protection while maintaining building integrity.
Basement Conversions
Transforming damp basements into functional spaces, we offer full waterproofing and structural upgrades. Services include tanking systems, cavity drain installations, and complete interior fit-outs. Our solutions add property value while creating usable areas for living, storage, or commercial purposes without requiring external extensions.
Timber Treatments
Our specialists eradicate woodworm, dry rot, and wet rot through chemical sterilisation and timber replacement. We apply preservatives to prevent future infestations, restoring structural integrity. Treatments comply with industry standards, ensuring safety and longevity for both residential and commercial properties.
Waterproofing
We implement cavity drain membranes and pumped systems to manage groundwater ingress in basements and cellars. Our waterproofing solutions prevent flooding damage, incorporating drainage channels and moisture barriers. Regular pump servicing maintains system effectiveness for long-term property protection.
Cavity Wall Ties
Addressing structural weaknesses caused by corroded wall ties, we install replacement ties and repair associated masonry damage. This service restores stability to buildings affected by damp-related deterioration, ensuring compliance with safety standards and preventing further structural compromise.
