Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp, penetrating damp, and lateral damp issues in residential and commercial properties. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we identify moisture sources and implement COSHH-compliant treatments including damp proof courses, wall protection systems, and basement tanking. Each solution includes a comprehensive survey and 10-year guarantee for lasting protection against structural damage.
Dry Rot Treatment
Specialist dry rot treatment involves identifying Serpula Lacrymans infestations through spore analysis and mycelium detection. We implement containment measures, remove affected materials, and apply fungicidal treatments to prevent recurrence. Our process includes structural repairs using treated timber and ventilation improvements to eliminate moisture sources that enable fungal growth in masonry and timber frameworks.
Woodworm Treatment
Professional woodworm treatment begins with species identification through flight hole analysis and frass examination. We apply targeted insecticidal treatments to eliminate common furniture beetle and wood boring weevil infestations, followed by structural repairs where necessary. Our approach includes moisture control measures to prevent reinfestation while preserving historic timber elements in period properties across Glasgow and surrounding areas.
Condensation Control
Our condensation control services address black mould growth and moisture buildup in poorly ventilated spaces. We implement ventilation solutions, thermal upgrades, and anti-mould treatments to resolve issues caused by modern insulation practices. The process includes identifying hidden moisture sources in loft spaces and behind furniture, followed by remedial actions to improve indoor air quality and prevent structural damage.
Basement Waterproofing
Basement waterproofing solutions protect subterranean spaces from water ingress through walls and floors. We install internal drainage systems, apply cementitious coatings, and implement cavity drain membrane technology to create watertight environments. Our methods transform unusable spaces into habitable areas while preventing damp-related damage to structural elements in both residential and commercial properties.
