Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising damp, condensation, and penetrating damp through advanced techniques like damp-proof course injection and electro-osmosis. We conduct detailed surveys to identify moisture sources, then implement tailored treatments to prevent structural damage and health risks from mould. With 20-year guarantees, our work ensures long-term property protection and improved indoor air quality.
Basement Waterproofing
Specialist basement waterproofing services create dry, habitable spaces by installing cavity drainage membranes, sump pumps, and waterproof barriers. We assess each basement's unique requirements to design systems that manage groundwater effectively, preventing damp-related damage while complying with British waterproofing standards for residential and commercial properties.
Wall Tie Replacement
We replace corroded cavity wall ties to restore structural integrity in properties affected by wall tie failure. Our process involves identifying compromised ties, removing damaged components, and installing durable replacements to prevent bulging walls and ensure long-term stability while maintaining building regulations compliance.
Timber Treatments
Our timber treatments combat dry rot, wet rot, and woodworm infestations through comprehensive remediation processes. We remove affected materials, apply specialist fungicides, and implement ventilation improvements to eliminate moisture sources. This prevents further structural degradation and restores timber integrity in floors, joists, and load-bearing components.
Free Surveys
We provide no-obligation surveys to diagnose damp and timber issues accurately. Our experts examine internal and external property conditions, identify moisture sources, and recommend cost-effective solutions. This service forms the foundation for all our treatments, ensuring precise problem resolution and customer understanding before any work commences.

Had the rising damp sorted today. Excellent service from start to finish. Darren and Brian were really helpful and honest. The job took him a little less time due to not needing to work as hard for some of the plaster to come off the walls so he reduced the cost to reflect this! Great clean up job afterwards too. Definitely recommend.
