Condensation Damp

This occurs when warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces, causing water to condense and create dampness. This is a common form of dampness in homes, often leading to mould growth if not addressed

Rising Damp

Rising damp is the upward movement of ground moisture into walls through capillary action, often due to a damaged or nonexistent damp-proof course (DPC). This can lead to various issues like damp patches, salt deposits, and potential structural damage. 

Penetrating Damp

Penetrating damp is cured by removing the plaster from the internal walls. A membrane is installed, this acts as a barrier to prevent moisture from penetrating the interior, protecting against damp and salt damage. It effectively stops moisture from seeping through the wall

External wall insulation

Installing a external wall insulation will prevent the cold from outside penetrating through to your internal walls, stopping the thermal bridging that creates condensation, and black mould. Cavity wall insulation can also be used, depending on the case.

Injection and Waterproofer

Rising damp is tackled by removing the internal plaster and the wall will have a new DPC injection applied, this will prevent the damp from rising into the property. Giving you peace of mind. Once completed, a new sand and cement waterproofing render will be applied preventing anymore water ingress.

Damp proof membrane

Penetrating damp occurs when water seeps through external walls. This can happen due to damaged brickwork, faulty gutters, or poor waterproofing. It’s a serious problem that affects thousands of UK homes every year. If you’ve noticed damp patches that worsen after rainfall, peeling wallpaper, or cold, damp walls, your property may be at risk.
