Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing specialists identify and resolve rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation issues using chemical damp courses and waterproof renders. We provide comprehensive surveys to determine moisture sources before implementing guaranteed solutions that meet British Standard codes. Clients receive detailed reports explaining treatment requirements and long-term prevention strategies.
Woodworm Treatment
We eradicate wood-boring beetle infestations using low-odour chemical treatments that allow immediate property re-entry. Our surveys distinguish active infestations from historic damage, ensuring targeted interventions. Treatments include insecticidal sprays and gels applied to affected timbers, with follow-up checks included in our service guarantees.
Cellar Conversions
Transform damp basements into habitable spaces through structural waterproofing systems meeting BS 8102 standards. We install multi-coat renders, studded membranes, and drainage systems to manage lateral water pressure. Our solutions include ventilation planning and structural reinforcement to create dry, usable living or storage areas.
Structural Repairs
Address masonry decay and structural damage through specialist repairs using compatible materials. Our services include replacing damaged timbers, rebuilding failed wall sections, and implementing movement joints to prevent future cracking. All work complies with conservation principles for period properties.
Condensation Control
Resolve persistent condensation through tailored ventilation strategies and thermal imaging analysis. We install passive vents, mechanical extraction systems, and thermal linings to maintain optimal humidity levels. Our approach focuses on addressing root causes rather than temporary moisture removal.
