Physical DPC: A barrier is installed within the walls to prevent moisture rising from the ground.
Membrane
Systems
Ideal for basements and other below-ground areas, these membranes prevent moisture from entering the walls and floors.
Epoxy Resin Floor Coatings
For concrete floors without a damp proof membrane, we apply epoxy resins to create a moisture-resistant barrier.

After removing damp-affected plaster, we apply a salt-inhibiting render coat to prevent moisture from re-entering the property.

- Do you notice any musty odours in certain rooms?
- Are there watermarks or stains on walls or ceilings?
- Do your walls feel cold or damp to the touch?
- Are there black mould patches in corners or near windows?
- Have you observed peeling wallpaper or flaking paint?
If you answered “yes” to any of these, your property may have damp. Book a professional survey for a full diagnosis and bespoke treatment plan
