Services
Structural Repair
Our structural repair service addresses subsidence, wall cracks, and foundation issues with precision engineering solutions. Using masonry stitching and wall tie replacements, we restore building integrity while maintaining aesthetic consistency. Clients benefit from detailed surveys identifying root causes and tailored remediation plans to prevent future structural deterioration.
Woodworm Treatment
Specialist woodworm eradication combines thorough inspections with low-odour chemical treatments targeting all life stages. We apply protective barriers to prevent re-infestation and offer a 30-year guarantee. Our approach preserves timber integrity while eliminating structural threats from beetle infestations in both historic and modern properties.
Rising Damp
Comprehensive rising damp solutions include damp-proof course installation, salt-contaminated plaster removal, and wall ventilation improvements. We address moisture migration through capillary action while preserving building fabric. Our treatments prevent decorative damage and maintain structural longevity in traditional and contemporary constructions.
Basement Waterproofing
Tailored waterproofing systems protect basements from groundwater ingress using tanking membranes and drainage channels. We implement both internal and external solutions to create habitable spaces while complying with British Standard 8102. Our methods ensure dry environments for residential and commercial subterranean areas.
Fire/Flood Damage
Insurance-compliant recovery service handles water extraction, smoke removal, and structural drying following disasters. We coordinate with insurers for full reinstatement, combining rapid response with meticulous restoration of damaged building elements. Our approved contractor status ensures streamlined claims processes for property owners.
