Damp proofing
One survey, then the right fix for your walls
Damp proofing is the heart of what we do. Damp shows up in a lot of ways, a tide mark low down on a wall, blown plaster, peeling paint, a musty smell or black mould in a corner, and each of those can point to a different cause. We start every job with a proper survey so the treatment matches the actual problem rather than the symptom on the surface.
Once we know what we are dealing with, the work might be a new chemical damp-proof course injected into the wall, hacking off and replastering affected areas with a salt-resistant render, or treating the outside cause of the moisture. Whatever it involves, you get a clear written quote before we start.
