Damp proofing, waterproofing and plastering
Everything we do for homes, landlords and businesses across Dewsbury, Wakefield and West Yorkshire: from a free damp survey to damp treatment, cellar waterproofing and plastering from a single wall to a full house.
Damp proofing services
Damp has several different causes, and each one needs a different fix. Everything starts with finding out which one you have, then treating the cause rather than covering up the symptoms.
Cellar and basement waterproofing
Cellars and basements need a different approach to the rooms above them. We design the waterproofing system around how the water is actually getting in, and below-ground work carries a 10-year guarantee on treated areas.
Plastering services
Plastering is where we started, and we still take on plastering work with no damp involved, from a single wall to a full house.
Start with what you can see
Most people do not know whether they have rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation, and they should not have to. If you can describe what you are seeing, such as damp walls, tide marks, black mould or plaster that sounds hollow, our damp problems guide explains what usually causes it.
Or skip straight to the answer. A free damp survey tells you what is causing the problem and what will fix it, and if nothing needs doing, we will tell you that too.
We cover Dewsbury, Wakefield, Morley, Heckmondwike, Batley, Ossett, Horbury, Stanley, Outwood, Ravensthorpe, Hanging Heaton, Barnsley, Birstall and Leeds. See the areas we cover.

Questions about our services
Which service do I need?
You don't need to know before you get in touch. Describe what you have noticed and we will come out for a free damp survey, find the cause, and tell you which treatment it needs, if any.
Do you cover my area?
We work across Dewsbury, Wakefield, Morley, Heckmondwike, Batley, Ossett, Horbury, Stanley, Outwood, Ravensthorpe, Hanging Heaton, Barnsley and Leeds, and the surrounding areas. If you are nearby and not sure, just ask.
Can you treat the damp and do the plastering in one job?
Yes. Replastering is part of our rising damp treatment, and because we are plasterers as well as damp specialists, the same team treats the wall and leaves it ready to decorate.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work with landlords, letting agents, housing associations and commercial clients, from single properties to planned programmes across several.
What guarantee do you give?
Damp proofing treatment carries a written 30-year guarantee on treated areas, which passes to the new owner if you sell. Below-ground and cellar waterproofing carries a 10-year guarantee on treated areas.
Can you arrange other trades, like a joiner or a plumber?
Yes, if you want us to. Some jobs need a joiner for skirting boards, a plumber to take radiators off, a roofer, or rubbish clearing away. We can bring them in and give you one all-in price, or quote our own work on its own so you can use your own tradespeople. We talk it through when we come out to quote.
Are your quotes free?
Yes. Surveys and quotes are free, with no obligation. If work is needed, you get a fixed price in writing, and never a penny more without agreeing it with you first.
Not sure where to start?
Book a free damp survey and we will tell you what is causing the problem and what will fix it.
