Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation. Using chemical damp-proof courses and tanking systems, we prevent moisture ingress, protecting walls and foundations. Treatments are tailored to property type, ensuring compliance with building regulations and long-term dryness.
Woodworm Treatment
We eradicate wood-boring beetle infestations through targeted chemical treatments and timber replacement. Our approach stops structural damage, preserves original features, and includes preventative measures to avoid future outbreaks in residential and listed buildings.
Dry Rot Repair
Dry rot remediation involves identifying moisture sources, removing infected timber, and applying fungicidal treatments. We reinstate damaged areas with treated wood, ensuring structural stability and compliance with preservation standards for long-term protection.
Wet Rot Control
Wet rot treatment focuses on eliminating damp sources, replacing decayed timber, and improving ventilation. Our repairs restore structural integrity while preventing recurrence, particularly in high-moisture environments like bathrooms and basements.
Penetrating Damp Solutions
We resolve penetrating damp by addressing external defects like faulty guttering or cracked brickwork. Waterproof membranes and re-plastering create a barrier against water ingress, safeguarding internal walls and preventing mould growth in affected properties.
