Eight problems we diagnose and treat.
Every job starts by finding the cause, not just the stain. The cost of getting it wrong can be very costly.

Damp surveys
Electronic moisture meters and non-invasive testing profile the damp in a property. You get a detailed written report with the probable causes, recommendations and, where needed, a quotation. It can be a deciding factor in a purchase or sale.
Page comingRising damp
Not always visible; often hidden by decoration. Treated with a cream-based chemical damp-proof course, injected into small holes at low pressure, to BS 6576. Salt-contaminated plaster usually needs renewing too.
Penetrating damp
Damp can show on inside and outside walls for many reasons. The survey finds which one it is, so the fix goes at the cause.
Page comingCondensation & mould
A family of four or five puts around 15 litres of water vapour into the air a day. On a cold surface it condenses, and mould follows. We look at ventilation, heating and insulation, and can arrange extraction or whole-house ventilation, fitted by a qualified electrician.
Page comingWoodworm
Common furniture beetle leaves slightly oval exit holes of 1.5–2mm. Treated with a water-based spray at low pressure; it's normally safe to return home the same day. Deathwatch beetle attacks hardwoods, mainly oak.
Page comingDry rot
Spreads quickly through brickwork and plaster as well as timber. In an established outbreak, red dust (spores) settles on furnishings and floors. Treat it as soon as it's diagnosed.
Page comingWet rot
Timber decay caused by long contact with damp masonry or poor ventilation. Affected timber is renewed or preserved, depending on how far it has gone.
Page comingBasement waterproofing
A multi-coat render system (tanking) or a cavity drain membrane, chosen by what the basement will be used for.
