Services
Basement Waterproofing
Our basement waterproofing solutions use advanced cavity drainage membranes and BS8102-compliant systems. We address groundwater ingress through tailored installations of drainage channels, sumps, and high-density membranes. Each project includes structural preparation, insulation, and ventilation to ensure long-term dryness and habitability.
Damp Proofing
We tackle rising and penetrating damp using chemical damp-proof courses, tanking membranes, and Delta Meshed systems. Our surveys identify root causes, from defective guttering to failed damp-proof courses, with treatments designed for both modern and heritage properties.
Dry Rot Treatment
Dry rot outbreaks are managed through toxic box installations, masonry biocide injections, and affected timber removal. We combine traditional methods with modern biocides to eradicate infestations and prevent recurrence in period and modern buildings.
Condensation Control
Our Isotherm condensation control systems address black mould and damp patches through thermal lining membranes. We improve ventilation, manage cold spots, and install moisture-managing solutions to prevent condensation in bathrooms, kitchens, and entire properties.
Woodworm Removal
We treat woodworm infestations in structural timbers, roof spaces, and flooring using boron-based treatments and insecticidal sprays. Our surveys identify active infestations, and we apply protective coatings to prevent future beetle attacks in period and modern properties.
