Damp and timber decay problems in a commercial property are not only a major headache for the owner, they are especially a headache for the business operator. Whether the cause of the damp is rising damp, lateral damp or rain penetration the source needs to be accurately diagnosed so it can be dealt with properly. If there is also a problem with wet rot or dry rot, it is has been caused by long term damp because the two go hand in hand. Tapco HomeDry offer a thorough damp and timber investigation for commercial properties that will find the cause and remedy the problem fast and efficiently, with as little disruption to the every day running of the business as possible. Having been established since 1971, we have a wealth of experience, damp proofing and eradicated timber decay in many of London and the Home Counties restaurants, offices, stores and shops, all to the complete satisfaction of our commercial clients and main contractors.

Identifying signs of damp & timber decay

Identifying  signs of damp or timber decay in a commercial property can often be more difficult than  in the home because of restricted access due to stock, shop fittings and storage etc, but if  a problem has become apparent, it should be dealt with immediately, before it becomes even worse and more disruptive.

With London’s commercial property becoming scarce, maybe you are planning to utilise a disused, damp basement, cellar or vault for additional space or a new business. Whatever the reason, it is likely to need damp proofing and we are here to advise you.  Our qualified damp and timber surveyor will carry out a thorough investigation to determine the best method of damp proofing for your particular problem or project. Damp is the sole cause of dry rot so the sooner you deal with it, the better.
