Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp in residential and commercial properties. Using industry-leading techniques, we install damp proof courses and tanking systems to prevent moisture ingress. Our work is guaranteed for 20 years, ensuring long-term structural integrity and property value preservation.
Woodworm Treatment
Specialist woodworm treatment protects structural timbers from insect infestation. We apply preservatives that halt decay and prevent future damage. All treatments come with a 20-year guarantee, safeguarding your property's framework against costly structural issues.
Basement Conversions
Professional basement waterproofing creates usable living or commercial space. Our tanking systems meet British standards and include a 10-year guarantee. We specialise in waterproof render and membrane installations to ensure dry, habitable environments.
Insect Infestation
Targeted treatments eliminate wood-boring insects threatening structural integrity. We identify infestation types and apply appropriate chemical and physical barriers. Our certified surveyors ensure complete eradication and prevention of reinfestation.
Timber Preservation
Comprehensive timber treatments prevent decay from fungal or insect attack. We use pressure-injected preservatives and surface coatings to extend timber lifespan. Services cover both historic and modern properties across London and the Home Counties.
