Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my property has damp?
Common signs include peeling paint, damp patches, musty odours, mould growth, and crumbling plaster. If you notice any of these, professional damp proofing may be required.
What is the best treatment for rising damp?
The best solution is installing a damp proof course (DPC) to block moisture from rising through walls. We also use chemical damp proof injections and re-plastering techniques for added protection.
Can penetrating damp be permanently fixed?
Yes. By identifying and repairing the source of water ingress, applying waterproof coatings, and using damp proof membranes, we ensure long lasting results.
How can I prevent condensation in my home?
Improving ventilation, using dehumidifiers, and installing air bricks or extractor fans are effective ways to prevent condensation and mould buildup.
How much does damp proofing cost?
Costs vary depending on the extent of the damp issue and required treatment. We offer free, no-obligation quotes to provide accurate pricing for your needs.
Do you provide guarantees on your damp proofing work?
Yes, we offer guarantees on our damp proofing services, ensuring long-term peace of mind.
What is the difference between rising damp and penetrating damp?
Rising damp travels up through a wall from the ground, usually where a damp proof course has failed. Penetrating damp comes from an external source such as a leak, damaged render or blocked gutter.
Will damp proofing work disrupt my household?
We work efficiently and keep disruption to a minimum, protecting furniture and flooring and leaving the work area clean.
Do you treat damp in rental properties?
Yes, we work with both homeowners and landlords to resolve damp issues and meet lettings and safety obligations.
Is black mould the same as damp?
Black mould is usually a symptom of an underlying damp or condensation problem rather than a separate issue, and treating the source is the only permanent fix.
