Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing solutions address rising, penetrating, and condensation-related dampness using industry-approved methods. Certified surveyors conduct thorough inspections to identify moisture sources before applying tanking systems or ventilation upgrades. We ensure compliance with British Standards while providing long-term protection against mould and structural decay.
Structural Repairs
Specialist structural repairs tackle subsidence, wall tie failure, and timber decay using stainless steel reinforcements and resin treatments. Our engineers implement Thorhelical systems and crack stitching to restore integrity without demolition. All work includes diagnostic surveys and insurance-backed guarantees for lasting stability.
Basement Conversions
We transform damp basements into habitable spaces using BS8102-compliant waterproofing systems. Services include Type C cavity drains, underpinning, and ventilation installations. Projects incorporate insulation and dehumidification to achieve Grade 3 dryness standards while adding property value through certified, guaranteed solutions.
Woodworm Treatment
Over 20 years' experience tackling wood-boring beetle infestations in historic and modern properties. Our CSRT-qualified surveyors identify active infestations before applying chemical treatments or replacing affected timbers. Guarantees cover eradication of common furniture beetles, death watch beetles, and house longhorn species.
Flood Restoration
PCA-accredited flood restoration includes structural drying, fungal decay prevention, and waterproofing upgrades. We implement moisture monitoring systems and use specialist techniques to prevent future water ingress, ensuring buildings meet habitability standards after emergency incidents.
