Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing treatments eliminate rising damp through moisture source identification and barrier installation. We use advanced chemical damp-proofing methods to stop water migration, followed by plaster replacement and fungicidal treatments. This prevents structural damage, health risks from damp air, and property devaluation while ensuring long-term protection with 30-year guarantees.
Wall Tie Repair
Wall tie replacement services address cavity wall instability caused by corroded metal ties. We install stainless steel non-corrodible ties, repair cracks, and restore external finishes. This prevents bulging brickwork and maintains structural integrity, particularly for properties built before the 1980s with outdated tie systems.
Wet Rot Treatment
Wet rot remediation involves moisture content reduction, affected timber removal, and fungicidal treatments. We replace damaged wood with treated timbers and apply protective coatings to prevent recurrence. This stops progressive structural weakening while maintaining building safety and value.
Dry Rot Treatment
Dry rot eradication includes masonry sterilisation, infested timber removal, and chemical treatments. Our specialists identify hidden moisture sources, dry affected areas, and implement barriers against fungal spread. This prevents masonry damage and cross-contamination to other timber structures.
