Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising and penetrating damp through chemical injections and moisture management. We identify root causes like bridged damp courses or structural defects, then implement tailored treatments to prevent recurrence. Clients benefit from improved indoor air quality, structural protection, and property value retention.
Dry Rot Treatment
Specialised dry rot eradication involves moisture mapping, infected timber removal, and boron preservative application. We isolate outbreaks, replace compromised structures with treated wood, and apply waterproof coatings. This holistic approach stops decay progression while maintaining building integrity.
Waterproofing
Basement waterproofing combines membrane installation, cavity drainage systems, and structural sealing. Using Newton Systems products, we create dry environments suitable for habitable spaces. Services include pump installation and vapour-permeable coatings to manage groundwater pressure.
Woodworm Extermination
Our woodworm treatment uses residual insecticides to sterilise emerging beetles, breaking their lifecycle. We assess infestation extent, treat affected areas thoroughly, and advise on moisture control to prevent reinfestation. Post-treatment guarantees ensure complete eradication.
Wet Rot Repair
Wet rot treatment focuses on moisture source elimination and structural restoration. Surveyors identify high-moisture zones, then replace compromised timbers and apply protective treatments. We address underlying causes like plumbing leaks to prevent future decay.

Report
I'm extremely pleased with the quality of work. I was concerned that I might lose my beautiful cornice but the builders were able to work round this and save it. I'm so pleased and would happily recommend this company to friends, family and others looking for a reliable service. Pauline Hagen

Report
We have ground water in the basement and had APS remove the water and install membrane and concrete to remove the presence of water. The work was quick and tidy with the operatives taking great care in the house (the first time I have experienced this). Professional, helpful and competent I chose APS over a number of competitors and glad I made the right choice. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Thanks again David.
