Services
Basement Tanking
Our basement tanking systems create watertight envelopes for subterranean spaces using advanced cementitious and epoxy solutions. Applied to walls and floors, these treatments prevent water ingress from hydrostatic pressure while maintaining structural integrity. The 5mm-thick membranes eliminate the need for supporting walls, preserving internal space while providing permanent protection against groundwater penetration.
Rising Damp Treatment
Specialist chemical damp proof course injection addresses rising damp through capillary action. Our low-hazard solutions form impermeable barriers in masonry walls, stopping moisture migration from ground sources. This method effectively protects structural elements and internal finishes while preventing timber decay associated with persistent damp conditions.
Condensation Control
Comprehensive condensation management combines diagnostic surveys with tailored ventilation solutions. We install extractor fans, heat recovery systems, and passive vents to address moisture accumulation from domestic activities, preventing mould growth and structural damage while improving indoor air quality in residential and commercial properties.
Timber Treatment
Targeted treatments for dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations restore structural timber integrity. Our approach combines chemical preservation with moisture control strategies to eliminate existing infestations and prevent recurrence, ensuring long-term protection of load-bearing wooden components in affected buildings.
Structural Repairs
Integrated structural repair services address damage caused by persistent damp issues. We restore compromised masonry, replace decayed timber elements, and implement waterproofing measures to reinstate building integrity. Our solutions focus on resolving underlying moisture problems while restoring structural functionality and safety to affected properties.
