Sign 1 / 6Tide marks & staining
Brown or yellow lines creeping up your walls are the classic signature of rising damp — moisture drawn up from the ground, carrying salts that stain and destroy decoration.

The Warning Signs
Spotted any of these in your home?
Damp shows itself long before it becomes structural. If any of these look familiar, it's worth getting it checked — it costs you nothing.
Sign 1 / 6
Sign 2 / 6Peeling paint & wallpaper
When paint bubbles or wallpaper lifts on its own, moisture behind the surface is pushing your finishes off the wall. Redecorating over it only hides the problem for a season.
Sign 3 / 6Blown or crumbling plaster
Tap the wall — a hollow sound means the plaster has "blown". Salts drawn up with moisture break plaster down from the inside, and it will keep spreading until the cause is treated.
Sign 4 / 6Black mould
On walls, ceilings or around windows — more than ugly, it's a genuine health risk, especially for children, older people and anyone with asthma or allergies.
Sign 5 / 6Musty smell
That persistent damp odour you notice when you walk in? It means moisture is trapped somewhere it shouldn't be — often before you can see any damage at all.
Sign 6 / 6Condensation
Streaming windows, wet sills and damp corners in the morning. Often fixable with proper ventilation — like a PIV system — rather than expensive building work.

What We Do
Complete damp & plastering solutions
We don't cover problems up — we treat the source and leave your walls dry, clean and ready to decorate.
Rising Damp Treatment
Our system: chemical DPC injection, a 3mm meshed membrane, then re-plastering — diagnosed with professional damp-reading equipment and backed by a 30-year guarantee on treated areas.
DPC Injection
Chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection paired with a specialist meshed membrane, backed by our 30-year guarantee on treated areas.
Damp Proof Membranes
Professional membrane barrier systems installed for long-lasting protection against moisture ingress.
Plaster Removal & Re-Plastering
We strip contaminated plaster back to sound brick and apply a perfect, lasting finish — ready for decorating.
Condensation & Mould Solutions
We identify the cause and provide effective treatments that improve your home — and the air your family breathes.
PIV Unit Installation
Positive Input Ventilation systems that reduce condensation and improve indoor air quality all year round.
Below-Ground Specialists
Cellar & below-ground waterproofing
Basements and cellars need a different approach to a damp lounge wall. We design the waterproofing system around how the water is actually getting in. Proven below-ground systems, not a one-size-fits-all fix.
Cavity Drain Membrane Systems
A studded membrane fixed to walls and floor manages any water ingress and channels it safely away, rather than fighting to keep the structure bone dry.
Drainage & Sump Systems
Where required, a perimeter drainage channel and sump pump remove water safely, keeping the space usable and dry day to day.
✓ Free basement/cellar survey
✓ 10-year guarantee on treated areas
✓ Domestic & commercial below-ground work

How We Fix It
Treated at the source — step by step
The same proven process on every damp job, photographed here on a real rising damp treatment.
1
Strip back & diagnose
Contaminated plaster is removed back to sound brick, so we can see — and treat — the true source of the moisture and salts.
2
Treat & install the barrier
A chemical DPC injection and 3mm meshed membrane stop moisture getting back into the wall, backed by our 30-year guarantee on treated areas.
3
Replaster & restore
Walls are replastered to a smooth, flawless finish — dry, protected and ready to decorate.
