Damp proofing you can rely on

Damp walls, peeling paint, a musty smell or black mould are signs that moisture is getting into your home. Left alone, damp damages plaster, decoration and timber, and can make a home unhealthy to live in. We find where the moisture is coming from and treat the cause, not just the symptoms.

Damp surveys

Our office arranges a survey at a time that suits you. Our surveyor checks the property, identifies whether you have rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation, and provides a detailed report and estimate.
