Finding the cause of the damp

Damp can come from several places – rising damp from the ground, penetrating damp through walls and roofs, or condensation from everyday living. Our surveyor checks the property, finds where the moisture is coming from and explains the treatment in a written report.

How we treat damp

Depending on what the survey finds, we can inject a new damp proof course, fit damp proof membranes and replaster, treat penetrating damp, tackle condensation and mould, and treat timber affected by rot or woodworm. For cellars and basements we also offer full waterproofing.

We also offer basement conversions in Akenham, house extensions in Akenham and property restoration in Akenham. Find out more about our damp proofing and timber treatment, or visit our dedicated damp proofing website for more on damp.
