Rotten floor joists found beside a damp wall
Lifting the floor beside a damp wall on this job showed the joists had rotted.
We stripped the wall back to brick to deal with the damp, then fitted new joists and boards, with the joist ends wrapped where they meet the wall.
We take on the same work in Barnsley. There is more on our damp walls page, and photos from more jobs in our projects.

The same steps on every job, wherever you are.
Tell us what you have noticed
Call, send a WhatsApp message or fill in the form. We come back within one working day and arrange a survey at a time that suits you.
A free survey, and a straight answer
We test the walls with a damp meter, find what is actually causing the problem and explain it in plain English. If nothing needs doing, we say so.
A fixed price in writing
No hourly rates that creep. If a wall turns out to need more once we start, we explain it and agree it with you first.
We do not publish set prices, because the cause and the size of the job decide them. Each service page explains what moves the price: see rising damp treatment or re-plastering. The survey costs nothing either way.
