Damp Proofing
Our BBA-approved damp proofing system creates permanent moisture barriers in walls, preventing rising damp through capillary action. Using injected silicone DPC and thixotropic lotions, we restore structural integrity while enabling redecoration within 5 days. Each solution includes salt damp remediation and plaster replacement where necessary.
Condensation Control
We implement whole-building ventilation strategies including positive pressure systems and heat recovery units. Our approach addresses surface condensation in residential and commercial properties through controlled air exchange, reducing humidity to prevent mould growth and structural damage.
Rising Damp Treatment
Specialist treatment involves installing new damp proof courses or repairing existing ones using waterproof membranes. We remove contaminated plaster, apply salt-retardant renders, and guarantee solutions for 20 years. Our diagnosis includes hygroscopic salt analysis to confirm rising damp origins.
Structural Waterproofing
We apply Structural Waterproofing Systems (SWS) and cavity membrane technologies to underground spaces. Our tanking solutions use sump pumps and drainage channels to manage hydrostatic pressure, ensuring watertight protection for basements and cellars with 10-year guarantees.
Mould Treatment
Our chemical mould removal process eliminates hyphal networks from walls while preserving substrates. We combine antifungal treatments with moisture control strategies to prevent recurrence, offering 2-year guarantees on condensation-related mould and 20-year protection against dry rot.
Questions
What are the different types of damp?
The three main types are condensation (moisture from humidity), rising damp (groundwater movement), and penetrating damp (water ingress through walls).
How long does damp proofing last?
Our damp proof courses carry a 20-year guarantee, while structural waterproofing systems are guaranteed for 10 years with proper maintenance.
Can damp affect property value?
Untreated damp can significantly reduce property value through structural damage and surveyor reports highlighting required remedial work.
Is condensation a serious issue?
Persistent condensation leads to mould growth, timber decay, and health concerns, requiring specialist ventilation solutions to resolve permanently.
How quickly can treatment be completed?
Most residential surveys take 1-2 hours, with remedial works typically completed within 3-7 working days depending on property size.
Do you work on listed buildings?
Yes, we specialise in traditional preservation techniques for heritage properties, using lime-based renders and sympathetic damp proofing methods.
