What We Do
Our Damp Treatment Services
Specialist damp proofing and timber treatment services for homeowners across Essex and Suffolk. Expert diagnosis, lasting solutions, and up to 20-year guarantees.
Damp Proofing
Rising Damp
Rising damp is one of the most common and damaging damp problems in UK homes. We diagnose the true cause and apply lasting chemical DPC treatments — guaranteed.
Rising damp is frequently misdiagnosed. Our CSTDB/CSSW qualified surveyors use calibrated moisture meters to confirm the cause before recommending any treatment.
Waterproofing
Basement Waterproofing
A wet basement or cellar does not have to stay that way. We design and install complete waterproofing systems to BS 8102 standards that keep your below-ground space permanently dry.
We design bespoke systems for each property — Type A, B, or C — depending on your specific water table conditions and structural requirements.
Ventilation
Condensation & Mould
Condensation is the most common cause of damp in UK homes — and the most frequently misdiagnosed. We identify the true cause and provide lasting ventilation solutions.
Many cases of condensation are incorrectly diagnosed as rising or penetrating damp. Our surveyors confirm the cause before specifying any treatment.
Timber Treatment
Rot Treatment
Rot in timber is a serious structural problem that spreads rapidly if left untreated. Our qualified timber surveyors identify the type of rot, eliminate the source, and restore affected timbers.
Dry rot can spread through masonry and across large areas of a property. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent costly structural damage.
Timber Treatment
Woodworm Treatment
Woodworm can silently destroy the structural and decorative timbers in your home. Our qualified surveyors identify the species, assess the damage, and apply targeted treatment.
Active woodworm infestations are most visible in spring and summer when adult beetles emerge. Fresh exit holes and powdery frass indicate an active infestation.
Damp Proofing
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp enters through defects in the building fabric — walls, roof, windows, or gutters. We trace the source, fix the defect, and treat the internal damage.
Penetrating damp can appear at any height on a wall and is directly linked to rainfall. It is often confused with rising damp — correct diagnosis is essential.
Ventilation
PIV & Ventilation
Poor ventilation is the root cause of most condensation and mould problems. We install Positive Input Ventilation units and extraction fans that keep your home fresh and dry.
PIV units are one of the most cost-effective solutions for condensation. A single loft-mounted unit can ventilate an entire house for as little as £1 per week to run.
Insulation
Iso-Therm Insulation Membranes
Iso-Therm is a high-performance insulation membrane system that eliminates cold bridging on solid walls, dramatically improving thermal comfort and stopping condensation at source.
Iso-Therm is particularly effective in Victorian and Edwardian properties with solid brick walls that cannot be insulated externally.
