You can get rising-damp symptoms even when a modern damp proof course (DPC) is intact. A DPC only stops moisture if it remains continuous and unbridged; any material or finish that spans the DPC creates a path for moisture to travel above the barrier. That hidden pathway often shows as blistering plaster, salt deposits, corroding […]
You will learn how moisture and dissolved salts interact with porous building materials and why those interactions lead to visible and structural damage. Moisture rising, driven or retained within masonry carries soluble salts into pore networks; when that moisture evaporates, the salts crystallise and leave residues. Repeated wetting and drying cycles concentrate these salts and […]
You need to recognise that a damp proof course (DPC) can be present and still be ineffective. Modern and mid-20th century buildings often include a physical DPC, yet faults in design, sequencing or finish can allow moisture to bypass that barrier and affect internal finishes. Common breaches occur where internal finishes or floor constructions make […]
Dry rot can quietly damage timber in your home and, if left unchecked, lead to costly repairs and weakened structure. Knowing how to spot it early helps you limit harm and avoid extensive remedial work. This guide explains the typical signs of dry rot at different stages and how to tell it apart from wet […]
Cutting down on condensation and damp You can reduce damp by changing a few daily habits and improving how your home handles moisture. Small, consistent actions—like ventilating wet rooms and limiting indoor humidity sources—significantly lower the risk of mould, paint and plaster damage, and timber decay. Benefits of reducing damp: Fewer health triggers (allergens and […]
Moisture problems such as damp, condensation and mould can harm both your health and the condition of your home. Knowing how to spot the signs and understand the causes helps you take the right steps to protect your living space. This guide will help you recognise the different types of dampness and mould so you […]
Dry rot can begin unnoticed but accelerate into serious timber decay that weakens floors, joists and other structural elements. If you spot signs such as crumbling, darkened wood or a musty odour, act promptly to prevent escalating damage that could threaten your property’s safety and require costly repairs. You should treat dry rot as a […]
If your cellar or basement shows signs of damp, addressing it promptly protects your home from structural harm, mould and lost value. Tanking creates a waterproof barrier around walls and floors so the space stays dry and usable, preventing ongoing moisture problems and protecting stored items. Costs vary with the size of the area, the […]
Thermal imaging reveals where your home loses heat and highlights insulation gaps, draughty windows and doors, and hidden leaks in floors or walls without disturbing your décor. Using infrared cameras lets you pinpoint problems quickly and accurately so you can decide which repairs or upgrades will give the best savings on energy and improve comfort. […]
A waterproof membrane provides a continuous barrier that stops water and damp from penetrating your building fabric. Applied to roofs, walls, floors and basements, these layers protect structural elements and internal finishes, helping your property remain dry and durable over time. You can choose different membrane types and application methods to match your specific needs, […]
