Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions protect properties from moisture ingress through walls and foundations. Using tanking membranes and damp-proof courses, we address rising damp and lateral water pressure. Suitable for basements, cellars, and ground floors, this service ensures structural integrity and prevents mould growth. Clients benefit from tailored assessments and long-term guarantees.
Basement Conversions
We transform underused basements into functional living spaces with integrated waterproofing. Our process includes structural reinforcement, insulation, and damp treatment. Ideal for creating home offices, gyms, or rental units, this service combines space optimisation with moisture control. Projects include full project management from planning to completion.
Timber Treatments
Our timber treatments combat dry rot, wet rot, and wood-boring insects. Using pressure-treated solutions and fungicidal applications, we restore structural timber safety. This service protects load-bearing beams and flooring across historic and modern properties. Clients receive detailed moisture surveys and preventative maintenance advice.
Rising Damp Treatment
Specialist rising damp treatment involves injecting chemical damp-proof courses and replastering affected walls. We address salt contamination and plaster decay caused by moisture migration. Suitable for period properties with failed original damp proofing. The process restores wall integrity and prevents internal decoration damage.
Cellar Tanking
Cellar tanking creates a waterproof barrier using cementitious coatings and cavity drain membranes. We install drainage channels and sump pumps for active water management. This service is essential for converting damp cellars into habitable spaces. Clients benefit from BS8102-compliant systems with lifetime performance assurances.

Stormed off the job after 1 1/2 hours. Left half drilled hole in wall and floor boards ripped up. Promise of the job to be done wasn't being adhered to. Clearly decided job was a little harder than they had time for and went to another job. Terrible service, do not use.
