Damp Proofing Surveys
We offer free reports and surveys. If you are concerned you may have damp in your property, a damp survey will determine the extent of the problem.

Once we have visited your home we will provide a detailed report and quote outlining the works needed.
Rising and Penetrating Damp
If you are experiencing damp in your home we will offer a detailed report identifying the cause of the problem, sometimes damp can be caused through external factors which at first we need to identify. Once we know the cause we treat the damp effectively. Generally we would install a new chemical damp course and remove any effected plaster, we will always find the most cost effective remedy
Dry/Wet Rot
These two can often get misdiagnosed, both of which need very different treatment. Dry rot is a major building decay fungus and once developed can cause considerable damage. Wet rot is caused by several species of fungus which require damp to thrive succsesfully.

What is wet rot or dry rot treatment?
Wet and dry rot are fungal decays that damage timber. They often get misdiagnosed and need very different treatments. We’ll correctly identify the type, then safely treat the affected area with specialist chemicals.
Tanking is a waterproofing method for basements or lower ground rooms. We typically use a membrane system with drainage and a sump pump to keep the space dry. In some cases, a sand-and-cement solution may be incorporated.
We investigate the source of damp, which can be caused by external factors or building issues. Once identified, we treat it effectively—often by installing a new chemical damp course and replacing any affected plaster.
Woodworm are insects that bore into timber, weakening it over time. We can diagnose and treat infestations, including carrying out any necessary timber repairs.
