Signs You Need a Damp Proofing Specialist
Damp problems often start small—but if ignored, they can lead to serious structural damage and health issues. Here’s what to look out for:
- Peeling paint, bubbling plaster, or discoloured walls
- Musty smells or a damp, cold feeling indoors
- Mould or mildew on walls, ceilings, or furniture
- Condensation on windows or persistent humidity
- Crumbling brickwork or visible salt deposits
- Warped floors, rotting timber, or skirting board damage
If you’ve spotted any of these signs, it’s time to book a damp survey.
Our Comprehensive Range of Damp Proofing Solutions
We offer tailored damp proofing services including rising damp treatment, penetrating damp repairs, basement tanking, timber preservation, and mould control.
We treat penetrating damp by locating the source, repairing affected external walls or roofing, and applying breathable, water-repellent treatments—ideal for older buildings and properties exposed to heavy rain.
We stop rising damp with damp proof course (DPC) injections and membrane systems that block moisture from rising through walls—protecting your plaster, paint, and structure from further damage.
We use cavity drain membranes and tanking systems to keep basements dry—ideal for storage, conversions, or livable space below ground level.
We treat woodworm, dry rot, and wet rot in structural timbers—stopping decay and preserving beams, joists, and floors for lasting stability.
We tackle condensation and black mould by improving ventilation and applying anti-mould treatments—keeping your indoor air clean, dry, and healthy.
We assess and repair damp-damaged brickwork, plaster, and insulation—restoring structural strength and preventing future moisture ingress.

DIY vs. Professional Damp Proofing: What You Should Know
Trying to fix damp issues yourself? While DIY solutions might offer a quick visual fix, they rarely tackle the root cause. That’s where professionals make all the difference.
Here’s why expert damp proofing is the smarter choice:
- We use advanced diagnostics like moisture meters and thermal imaging to find the exact source of damp.
- Our treatments—DPC injections, tanking systems, and ventilations upgrades—are built for long-term protection.
- You get peace of mind with warranties, compliance, and work done to industry standards.
DIY may save money upfront—but professional damp proofing saves your property in the long run.

Professional damp proofing can last 20–30 years or more, especially with proper maintenance. Our treatments include warranties, ensuring lasting protection for your walls, floors, and structural timbers.
How long does damp proofing treatment take?
