Services
Damp Proofing
Our damp proofing specialists address rising and penetrating damp issues using BBA-approved solutions like Dry Rod and Stormdry. We conduct thorough assessments to identify moisture sources before applying chemical damp courses or masonry creams. This prevents structural damage and health risks while maintaining building integrity through breathable, long-lasting treatments.
Exterior Painting
We apply ultra-durable hydrophobic coatings including Properla's two-coat system, creating water-repellent 'lotus effect' surfaces. These breathable paints protect against weather damage while enhancing aesthetics, with 10-year manufacturer guarantees and 25-year expected lifespans for both traditional and modern building facades.
Woodworm Treatments
Our envelope treatment system targets all life cycle stages of wood-boring beetles using solvent-free formulations. We apply curative treatments to affected timbers while preserving structural integrity, breaking infestation cycles without invasive drilling in most cases to restore and protect both furniture and building components.
Properla Coatings
As approved Properla applicators, we install super-hydrophobic masonry coatings that improve thermal efficiency by keeping walls dry. These advanced silicone-based systems create self-cleaning surfaces with 15-20 year lifespans, significantly reducing maintenance needs while maintaining breathability in various substrates.
Stormdry Application
We apply BBA-certified Stormdry masonry cream to prevent water penetration while allowing existing moisture to evaporate. This 25-year solution protects cavity wall insulation and enhances energy efficiency, particularly effective for historic buildings requiring non-invasive damp prevention methods.
