Damp Issues
Peeling wallpaper, tide marks on your wall, bubbling plaster or paint, black spot mould, or discoloured patches on your walls or ceiling can be signs of damp. High moisture levels due to lack of ventilation, cold environments, or a failed damp course (DPC) are the most common reasons. Contact us today to help you find the right solution.
External Waterproofing
Exterior waterproofing is a method used to protect buildings from water penetration by creating a barrier on the outside of the structure. It typically involves applying waterproof coatings to the masonry i.e. brickwork or stonework. By keeping water out, exterior waterproofing helps maintain the integrity and longevity of a building.
Sub floor ventilation

Floor & Joist replacement
Floorboards and joists may need to be replaced when affected by damp and insect infestation because prolonged exposure to moisture can weaken the wood, leading to rot and structural instability. Damp conditions encourage the growth of fungal decay, such as dry rot and wet rot. These issues can arise due to several reasons, such as poor ventilation and leaking pipes. Additionally, damp wood attracts wood-boring insects, such as beetles, which further compromise the timber. If the damage is extensive, replacing the affected materials is essential to restore structural integrity, ensure safety, and prevent further deterioration.

Timber treatment
Timber treatment is necessary when dealing with wood-boring insects or fungal infestations to protect and preserve the structural integrity of the wood. Wood-boring insects, such as beetles, can cause significant damage by eating through the timber, while fungal infestations like dry rot and wet rot weaken the wood by breaking down its fibers. Treatment involves applying chemical preservatives that eliminate existing pests and fungi and help to control against any further outbreaks by creating a protective barrier to prevent future infestation. Without proper treatment, the timber can deteriorate, leading to structural instability and costly repairs. Contact us today to help you find the right solution.
