— about this service
Masonry Protection Coatings
Masonry protection coatings reduce the water absorption of external wall surfaces without sealing them entirely, allowing the wall to remain vapour-permeable while dramatically reducing the volume of water taken in during rainfall. Procure Damp Proofing Group uses Safeguard Stormdry masonry protection cream, a market-leading product that penetrates into the masonry surface to provide long-term, invisible water repellency without altering the appearance of the wall. Stormdry is appropriate for brick, stone, render and block substrates and is applied by technicians who have completed the Safeguard training course.

How It Works
Substrate Assessment
The external wall is assessed for existing moisture levels, surface condition, pointing integrity and any active defects such as cracks or failed render that would need to be addressed before a protection coating is applied.
Surface Preparation and Application
Any necessary preparatory repairs are completed before Safeguard Stormdry cream is applied to the external masonry surface in accordance with manufacturer guidelines, ensuring full coverage and adequate penetration into the substrate.
Completion and Performance Advice
Following application, clients are advised on the expected performance of the coating, its longevity and any maintenance considerations to maximise the service life of the treatment.

Why Choose Us?
Vapour-permeable water repellency
Stormdry reduces water absorption without sealing the wall surface, allowing the masonry to breathe and moisture vapour to escape. This is critical for older solid walls where trapping moisture could cause damage to the fabric.
Safeguard Stormdry, a proven masonry protection system
Procure uses Safeguard Stormdry cream, a BBA-certified masonry protection product with independently verified performance data, applied by Safeguard-trained technicians to manufacturer specification.
Defects addressed before coating is applied
A masonry protection coating applied over failed pointing, cracked render or active leaks will not perform as intended. Procure identifies and resolves all underlying defects before any coating is recommended, ensuring the treatment works as specified.
