What we can help with

Damp Proofing in Sunderland: Our damp proofing systems are designed to fit in with your budget and requirements, we have multiple systems available ranging from traditional render based applications to modern hi-tech systems to provide a permanent barrier to damp and provide thermal insulation leaving you with a warmer drier property. We also carry out both domestic and commercial contracts

Rising Damp: Rising damp is a common problem that happens due to property being built on damp clay and earth. The moisture then rises up through the walls in the property – hence the name ‘rising damp’. As you can imagine this causes the property’s walls to absorb the moisture like a sponge causing big issues in your home.

Penetrating Damp: This type of damp occurs when water comes into contact with masonry which can be due to defective rainwater goods allowing the rainwater to pour down walls, blocked damaged gutters and downcomers, leakage through roof tiles, felt roofs or, defective pointing. Once the damp has penetrated your property it can lead to salting or shadowing on interior walls and decoration, cold patches, condensation. Mould or algae on the inside and outside of your walls can be tell tale signs. Once a wall has suffered from damp penetration it can leave salts within the wall and internal plaster which will require treatment to prevent re-appearance.

Condensation: Condensation is a very common moisture problem in properties across the country resulting in moisture forming on cold spots of walls and windows as well as green and black mould forming on clothing, ceilings, walls and various surfaces. We have a simple solution for condensation and mould, with a money back guarantee if we do not solve the problem.

Dry Rot: Dry rot is caused when timbers become damp, which can be due to contact with damp masonry, leaks and any other source of moisture, especially if combined with lack of ventilation can provide the ideal conditions for fungal spores to attack. Dry rot will form in all types of property, historic or modern and can grow through the cracks and cavities in walls feeding off organic debris and wood fragments on sub floor oversites or behind plaster. Dry rot will definitely require professiona treatment and if not dealt with absolutely correctly has a great ability to re-appear on the new timbers that have been installed.

Woodworm: Woodworm is a name given to a collection of beetles that can lay eggs which hatch into microscopic larvae and bore their way into woodwork of buildings and furnishings. Evidence of woodworm usually consist of holes in the wood, a sawdust like powder can sometimes be seen below the holes. Little blackish-brown insects are often found on windowsills of a property with woodworm. Our treatments are both simple and cost effective with our specialist equipment being able to treat large areas of floors without the need for pulling up all of your carpets or floorboards.
