Damp Proofing

Damp treated at the source, not painted over.

PaletteAqua & Lime

Damp treated at the source, not painted over.

Rising and penetrating damp traced to its source and sealed — roofs, terraces, bathrooms and external walls.

The short of it

Damp is the one problem you cannot decorate your way out of.

Paint over it and it comes back through in a season, taking your new emulsion with it. We trace where water is actually entering — a cracked terrace, a failed bathroom seal, a bridged wall — treat the source with membrane and chemical systems, and only then rebuild the finish.

Rising and penetrating damp traced to its source and sealed — roofs, terraces, bathrooms and external walls.

The result

Finished work.

Damp work is judged a season later, not on handover day. This wall was traced, treated at source, dried and rebuilt.

Process

How the work runs.

Five stages, in this order, every time — each one finished and looked at before the next crew starts. You get a dated schedule for your damp proofing job before anyone arrives on site.

  1. Diagnose

    Moisture readings across the affected area to find the entry point.

  2. Strip

    Blown plaster hacked back to sound masonry — all of it.

  3. Treat

    Membrane, tanking slurry or injection applied to the source.

  4. Rebuild

    Waterproof render, then putty once the wall has fully dried out.

  5. Finish

    Anti-fungal primer and a damp-resistant emulsion system.

Questions

Asked often.

Straight answers, including the ones that are not in our favour. If your question is not here, ring us and ask it.

Almost always because the finish was rebuilt before the source was sealed, or before the wall had dried.
