Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing specialists identify rising damp through moisture meter readings and visual inspections. We install damp proof courses using water-based chemicals, remove affected plaster, and apply remedial treatments. The service includes re-plastering where necessary, with all work covered by a 10-year guarantee. Our PCA-accredited team ensures compliance with industry standards.
Timber Treatments
We address dry rot, wet rot, woodworm, and beetle infestations through targeted fungicidal treatments. Our specialists remove decayed timber, apply protective sprays, and replace structural elements when required. The process includes ventilation improvements to prevent recurrence, with solutions tailored to both historic and modern properties across Cambridge.
Condensation Solutions
Our condensation management service includes identifying moisture sources, installing ventilation systems, and applying anti-mould treatments. We offer extractor fans with humidstats, passive vents, and whole-house ventilation systems. The service addresses health risks from mould while improving indoor air quality in residential and commercial buildings.
Tanking
We apply bonded membrane systems to prevent groundwater ingress in basements and below-ground structures. Using Hey'di K11 tanking slurry, we create waterproof barriers that allow walls to breathe while resisting hydrostatic pressure. The service includes plaster replacement and moisture evaporation management for long-term protection.
Re-plastering
Our re-plastering service follows damp and timber treatments to restore interior finishes. We use appropriate materials to match existing surfaces, ensuring seamless integration with treated areas. The process includes preparation of substrates, application of bonding agents, and finishing to required standards for both residential and commercial clients.
