Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions protect below-ground structures using tanking systems, cavity drains, and sump pumps. We design bespoke systems for new builds and existing properties, ensuring compliance with British standards. With 50 years of experience, we guarantee durable protection against water ingress for residential and commercial properties.
Damp Proofing
We diagnose and treat rising, penetrating, and condensation damp using remedial damp proof courses, ventilation systems, and membrane installations. Our certified surveyors provide detailed reports with cost-effective solutions. All treatments come with insurance-backed guarantees for long-term protection of your property.
Timber Preservation
Our timber preservation services address dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations using fungicidal treatments and resin repair systems. We restore structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic value, particularly for historic buildings. Approved Rotafix contractors ensure heritage-compliant repairs using specialist adhesives.
Home Insulation
We install loft, cavity wall, and solid wall insulation to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs. Our ECO scheme-qualified assessments identify optimal solutions, with 0% VAT available for eligible upgrades. We use high-performance materials to enhance thermal performance and property value.
