Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing services address rising damp and penetrating damp through chemical damp-proof courses and salt-inhibiting replastering. We identify moisture sources using specialist equipment and apply tailored solutions to prevent structural damage. This service ensures long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.
Woodworm Treatment
We treat wood-boring beetle infestations like common furniture beetle and deathwatch beetle using insecticidal emulsions and targeted chemical treatments. Our approach includes replacing severely damaged timber and applying preservatives to prevent reinfestation, ensuring structural integrity and compliance with preservation standards.
Tanking Systems
Our tanking systems combat lateral moisture penetration in basements using cavity-drained membranes and cement-based renders. These solutions manage water pressure and prevent damp ingress, offering durable protection for below-ground structures while minimising condensation risks.
Condensation Control
We address condensation through ventilation improvements and moisture control strategies. Our solutions include extractor fan installation and passive vents to reduce humidity, preventing mould growth and protecting internal structures from damp-related damage in residential and commercial settings.
Wall Tie Replacement
We replace corroded or failed wall ties with stainless steel alternatives to restore cavity wall stability. Our process involves locating existing ties using metal detectors and endoscopes, then installing mechanical or resin-fixed ties to prevent structural movement and ensure building safety.
