Property preservation work we carry out
Every service page below explains how the issue is investigated, what may be mistaken for it, realistic treatment options and when treatment may not be appropriate at all.
The work divides into four groups, and almost all of it begins with the same step: establishing what is actually happening before anything is specified.
Four groups of work, one starting point
Damp surveys and investigations
Where nearly every job starts: establish the mechanism, in writing, before any work is priced.
Damp proofing
Why damp proofing is not one treatment, and how the right remedial specification follows the diagnosis.
Condensation control
Humidity, dew point and surface temperatures measured before any equipment or insulation is recommended.
Mould remediation
Safe removal of the contamination, and control of the moisture conditions that allowed it to grow.
Timber preservation
Decay and insect activity assessed against the moisture conditions that made the timber vulnerable.
Below-ground damp protection
Damp at or just below external ground level investigated, and localised below-ground damp protection where remediation calls for it. We do not install basement or cellar waterproofing.
