WHAT WE OFFER

RISING DAMP

Rising damp occurs when groundwater travels up through walls and floors. Treatment includes installing a new damp proof course and repairing affected plaster to restore the property's condition.

PENETRATING DAMP

Penetrating damp results from water ingress through walls, roofs, or masonry. Solutions involve identifying entry points, repairing defects, and applying protective systems to prevent recurring moisture problems.

DRY ROT / WET ROT

Timber decay caused by fungal attack leads to dry or wet rot. Treatments include removing damaged wood, improving ventilation, and applying fungicidal solutions for lasting protection.

WOOD ROT & TIMBER TREATMENTS

Timber affected by decay weakens structures over time. Effective treatments include repairing or replacing damaged wood, applying preservatives, and ensuring improved airflow to prevent further deterioration.

RESIN BEAM END REPAIRS

Resin beam repairs provide a cost-effective alternative to replacement. The damaged timber section is removed, strengthened with high-grade resins, and reinforced for structural stability.

CONDENSATION CONTROL

Condensation leads to mould, damp patches, and unhealthy air quality. Solutions include improving ventilation, installing mechanical systems, and offering tailored advice to reduce moisture levels indoors.

WOODWORM TREATMENT

Woodworm infestations weaken timbers as larvae tunnel through wood. Treatment involves identifying the beetle species, applying targeted insecticides, and monitoring to ensure the timber remains structurally secure.

BASEMENT CONVERSIONS

Basements prone to damp can be converted into dry, usable spaces. This involves waterproofing, installing drainage membranes, ensuring long-term protection, and creating additional living or storage areas.

SPECIALIST SURVEYS

Specialist surveys identify damp, timber, or structural issues in all property types. Carried out by qualified surveyors, they provide clear reports with recommended treatments for long-term solutions.
