Investigating and Solving Dampness Problems in Old Buildings

Moisture is the #1 cause of building deterioration. We specialise in investigating and solving dampness problems in old buildings including residential homes, churches, listed buildings, manor houses etc.

Our activity covers 3 main areas of expertise:

- PROFESSIONAL DAMPNESS SURVEYS: using cutting-edge diagnostic equipment we assess all types of dampness. We specialize in diagnosing and solving difficult dampness cases – our surveyors are amongst the best in the business.

- DAMPNESS REMEDY: using a patented magnetic DPC system we routinely resolve problems of rising damp non-invasively. For peace of mind, we also monitor the dehydration of every building for about 2 years or until it becomes dry.

- RENOVATIONS: dampness problems and the crystallized ground salts often create a lot of damage. We advocate the use of traditional building materials which not only allow buildings to breathe, but which are suitable for the long-term restoration of very old buildings.
