Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp through chemical damp courses and membrane systems. We conduct full surveys to identify moisture sources, then implement cost-effective treatments that include plastering and waterproofing. All work comes with a 20-year guarantee, ensuring long-term protection for residential and commercial properties.
Dry Rot Treatment
Dry rot treatment involves removing affected timber, applying anti-fungicidal solutions, and installing treated replacements. We identify moisture sources to prevent recurrence, combining structural repairs with preventative measures. Our 20-year guarantee covers both eradication and future protection for domestic and commercial buildings.
Wall Tie Replacement
Wall tie replacement restores structural integrity by installing new ties and heli bars. We test existing ties, replace corroded components, and offer 15-year guarantees. This service prevents cracks and strengthens cavity walls for properties across Portsmouth and surrounding areas.

Woodworm treatment includes identifying active infestations, applying insecticides, and replacing damaged timber. We use environmentally safe chemicals and provide long-term protection against re-infestation. Surveys determine the species and extent of damage, ensuring targeted remedial action for residential properties.
