Why Proper Damp Proofing Matters

• Preserves lime-rendered and bungaroosh walls from salt spalling.

• Stops timber joists rotting and plaster crumbling.

• Eliminates the moisture source that feeds mould spores.

• Protects property value and indoor-air quality.

Our Five-Step Process

1. Inspection & Diagnosis
   Digital moisture readings, salt tests and borescope checks pinpoint the damp type and its cause.

2. Tailored Treatment Plan
   A written report details remedies—rising-damp DPC injection, cavity drainage, improved ventilation or external waterproofing.

3. Remediation & Damp Proofing
   ▸ Remove damaged plaster ▸ Apply breathable lime or specialist damp-proof coatings ▸ Install vents or condensation units.

4. Mould Treatment
   We neutralise spores with safe biocides, clean surfaces and seal stains with mould-resistant primers.

5. Painting & Decorating
   Once substrates are dry, our decorators restore interiors and exteriors with vapour-open paints or high-durability coatings.
