Rising damp
Rising damp is not always visible: it’s often hidden by decoration.
We treat it with a cream-based chemical damp-proof course, injected into small holes at low pressure, to BS 6576.
Salt-contaminated plaster usually needs renewing as well.

One wall, four stages
First, the detective work
How a survey works
We profile the damp with electronic moisture meters and non-invasive testing. You get a detailed written report: the probable causes, our recommendations and, where needed, a quotation. A report can be a deciding factor when you’re buying or selling a house.
