Protect from and treat damp in your domestic or commercial property today
We take on work for damp treatment to a single wall right through to full large commercial contracts.
Damp proofing is the installation of a new chemical damp proof course to stop the passage of moisture within a wall and the associated plaster. The process to resolve the problem often involves the removal of the old contaminated plaster to an approximate height of 1.2 metres, installing the new chemical damp proof course and re-plastering with a specialist backing render and plaster skim.
Damp can pose many health and safety risks, which is why it is important that your property is treated by a reputable and professional damp proofing company. Regularly a damp problem is due to a lack of mechanical ventilation.
Damp problems, when inspected by some contractors, are regularly misdiagnosed. A majority of contractors will have little knowledge of all courses of damp and regularly specify a remedial chemical damp proof course when the core problem is condensation. This leads to confusion and unwarranted expense. As experts in all fields of water ingress and causes we can ensure that unnecessary work is not undertaken!
We offer inspection to diagnose the damp or timber remedial problem, provide a written report, and when instructed, carry out the work to the highest standard with our own fully trained operatives.
