Six Issues, One Local Team

A low-level damp patch is not automatically rising damp, and recurring mould can just as easily point to condensation, ventilation or water ingress. Choose the issue that best matches what you’ve noticed — or get in touch if you’re not sure.

Damp Bridging

Moisture can bypass an existing damp-proof barrier through high ground levels, debris or unsuitable finishes.

Penetrating Damp

Water can enter through roofs, gutters, chimneys, cracked render, pointing and other defects.

Rising Damp

Low-level moisture is investigated carefully before any rising damp treatment is recommended.

Condensation

Humidity, airflow, heating and cold surfaces are assessed to understand recurring condensation and mould.

Wood Rot

Wet rot and dry rot are investigated alongside the moisture conditions that allowed decay to develop.

Ventilation

Practical ventilation improvements can help remove moisture and reduce condensation and mould.

Drone Surveys

Can’t See What’s Happening on the Roof?

Drone surveys provide clear aerial images of roofs, chimneys, gutters and other hard-to-reach areas, helping identify visible defects without unnecessary access equipment.

Find the Cause Before Paying for the Cure

The team begins by listening to what has been noticed, when it began and what has already been tried. The available evidence is assessed and the likely cause is explained. If major remedial work is not considered necessary, the customer will be told.

Do Not Ignore the Signs, but Do Not Panic Either

Ongoing moisture can damage decoration, plaster, insulation and timber. Mould and poor indoor conditions can also be a concern, particularly for people with existing respiratory conditions. The sensible next step is to understand the source.
