We offer a comprehensive damp proofing service that covers everything needed to identify and treat the root cause of dampness. We can advise on the best steps to take to stop water ingress and then deal with the cosmetic and structural issues related to dampness.

We start with a damp proofing survey to identify the root cause of your problem. Next, we use the latest tools and techniques to identify where the damp is coming from and what steps are needed to put a stop to the issue. Our report is purely recommendations, and you are under no obligation to carry out the work – that said, we would highly recommend it.
What is damp proofing?
Damp proofing is a broad term that refers to a wide range of measures used to protect a home from water ingress. Moisture can get into homes from a range of sources, including rain from the sky, ground water and pipes throughout the home. If water is able to get into your home, it can create the ideal conditions for more serious conditions to thrive, including mould, mildew and dry rot.
The first course of action is usually to check your damp proof course. These are known to fail over time, so you might simply require a renewed damp proof course. We can also look at common sources of damp, such as cracked roof tiles or leaking pipes. And finally, your basement or cellar might need waterproofing measures such as basement tanking. This is more effective than a damp proof course for addressing the issues related to hydrostatic pressure.

How do you spot the signs of damp?
The earliest signs of damp might not be visible or obvious, so you’ll need to use all of your senses to identify if there are issues in your home. These early stages of damp might also appear in lesser seen areas of your home, such as behind large pieces of furniture. The first sign is often a damp or musty odour. Further investigation might reveal the following:
- Peeling wallpaper or blistered paintwork
- Warped and soft floorboards
- Dark mould patches on walls, ceilings and floors
- Walls that are cold to touch
- Excess moisture on windows and exterior facing walls
If you notice these issues in your home, call our expert team to arrange a survey.
