Services
Retrofitting
Our retrofitting services enhance building energy efficiency through tailored insulation, draught-proofing, and thermal bridging solutions. We use thermal imaging to identify heat loss areas and implement upgrades that reduce energy bills by up to 30%. This service is ideal for historic and modern properties seeking sustainable improvements.
Damp Proofing
We specialise in diagnosing and treating rising damp through advanced damp-proofing techniques. Our solutions prevent moisture ingress in basements and ground floors, eliminating mould growth and structural damage while improving indoor air quality for healthier living environments.
Condensation Control
Our condensation control systems address surface and interstitial condensation through breathable materials and ventilation strategies. This prevents mould formation and maintains structural integrity in poorly ventilated spaces like cellars and attics.
Dry Rot Treatment
We eradicate dry rot infestations using borate treatments and replace affected timber with durable alternatives. Our approach stops fungal spread while preserving original building materials where possible, ensuring structural longevity.
Thermal Imaging Surveys
Our thermal imaging surveys detect hidden heat loss and moisture issues through infrared technology. This non-invasive method identifies cold bridging and insulation gaps, enabling precise remediation plans to improve energy efficiency and comfort levels.
