1st Damp Proofing provides professional damp proofing, waterproofing and timber treatment services for homes and properties across the UK. We work on properties of all ages, from Victorian terraces and traditional cottages to modern houses, flats, rental properties and commercial buildings.
Damp should never be ignored. Rising damp, penetrating damp and excessive condensation can damage plaster, brickwork, timber, flooring and interior decorations. If left untreated, moisture may also cause mould growth, unpleasant odours and more extensive structural repairs.
Our first step is to inspect the affected area and identify the source of the moisture. Damp symptoms can look similar, so an accurate diagnosis is essential. We assess the condition of the walls, floors, external brickwork, ventilation and other possible entry points before recommending appropriate treatment.
Our damp proofing services include:
- Rising damp treatment and damp-proof course injection
- Removal and replacement of salt-contaminated plaster
- Penetrating damp investigation and repair
- Condensation and mould control
- Basement and cellar waterproofing
- Tanking systems and cavity drain membranes
- Wet rot, dry rot and woodworm treatment
- Damp surveys and property inspection reports
Where rising damp is confirmed, we can install a suitable damp-proof course and replaster the affected walls using the correct specification. For penetrating damp, we investigate possible causes such as damaged pointing, cracked render, defective seals or leaking rainwater goods. We also provide practical solutions for condensation, including ventilation improvements and advice on controlling indoor moisture.
At 1st Damp Proofing, we aim to treat the underlying cause rather than simply covering visible stains or damaged paintwork. Before work begins, we explain our findings, the recommended treatment and the expected cost, allowing you to make an informed decision.
Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, property manager or prospective buyer, contact 1st Damp Proofing to arrange an inspection and quotation for your property.
