Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing specialists install impervious barriers against rising damp using DPC barrier cream injection. This method involves pattern drilling masonry and fully impregnating walls to prevent moisture migration. The process includes contaminated plaster removal and replacement with specialist renders, ensuring long-term protection against damp-related issues in both residential and commercial properties.
Basement Waterproofing
We provide comprehensive basement waterproofing solutions compliant with BS:8102(2009) standards. Our systems combine cavity drain membranes, pumping systems, and waterproof renders to create multi-layer protection. This includes Delta Membrane installations and Koster waterproofing applications, both internally and externally, ensuring dry environments for residential and commercial developments including luxury apartment complexes.
Rot Treatment
Our wet and dry rot treatments address underlying moisture issues while preventing fungal regeneration. The process involves identifying moisture sources, removing affected materials, and applying specialist treatments to protect structural timbers. We use water-based epoxy resins that create tough, non-toxic waterproof surfaces, available in multiple colours for aesthetic integration with existing decor.
Cavity Drain Membranes
As Delta Membrane approved installers, we implement cavity drain membrane systems as an alternative to traditional tanking. These systems manage water ingress through controlled drainage while maintaining structural integrity. Particularly effective for heritage buildings, our solutions include PT-Lath meshed membranes that allow reversible installations without damaging historic structures.
Koster Waterproofing
Our Koster waterproofing solutions use waterplug and sealing slurries for both internal and external applications. These systems work effectively even on actively leaking structures, creating dry living spaces internally and watertight surfaces externally. The treatment combines immediate water resistance with long-term protection, suitable for both remedial work and new construction projects.
