Services
Damp Proofing
We provide comprehensive damp proofing solutions including damp course installation, re-plastering, and vapour membrane systems. Our specialists address rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation-related issues using industry-approved materials and techniques. By combining invasive and non-invasive surveys with targeted remedial work, we ensure long-term protection against moisture damage in residential properties.
Condensation Control
Our condensation control services include Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units, mechanical extract ventilation, and thermal lining installations. We conduct detailed surveys to identify moisture sources, then implement tailored solutions to regulate humidity and prevent mould growth. These systems improve indoor air quality while maintaining energy efficiency in homes across Berkshire and surrounding areas.
Water Leak Detection
Using advanced detection equipment, we locate hidden water leaks in building structures through non-invasive methods. Our surveys identify moisture sources in walls, floors, and roofs, followed by targeted repairs to prevent structural damage. This service is particularly valuable for resolving persistent damp issues caused by undetected plumbing or building envelope failures.
Ventilation Systems
We install and maintain whole-house ventilation systems including Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery (MVHR), Positive Input Ventilation (PIV), and extractor fans. These systems combat condensation, reduce allergens, and improve energy efficiency by optimising air circulation. Our Nuaire and Vent Axia-certified engineers ensure compliant installations that meet building regulations and property-specific needs.
Timber Treatment
Our timber treatment services address woodworm infestations and dry rot through chemical treatments and structural repairs. We perform low-disturbance repairs to affected timbers while preserving structural integrity. This includes treating floor joists, skirting boards, and other wooden elements to prevent future decay and extend the lifespan of building materials.
