Rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation. Honest diagnosis first, then the right fix for your property.
Damp specialists covering Central Scotland.
Rising damp injection, penetrating damp repairs, salt-resistant render systems and condensation diagnosis.
Free survey, free quote, no high-pressure sales. We turn up when we say, leave the place tidier than we found it, and stand behind the work.
Chemical DPC injection where the existing damp-proof course has failed. Hack off contaminated plaster, re-render with salt-resistant system, redecorate when fully cured.
Tracking moisture back to the source: failed pointing, cracked render, missing flashings, sub-floor ventilation. Fix the cause first, then the symptom.
Proper diagnosis of black mould and surface damp. Often a ventilation problem, not a damp problem. We will tell you the truth at the survey.
Sandstone, lime-bonded and pre-1919 walls do not work like modern cavity walls. We use breathable lime-based systems where they belong, not modern impermeable ones.
Sometimes yes, often no. A lot of "rising damp" diagnoses are actually penetrating damp or condensation in disguise. We survey properly before recommending injection.
Yes, once the source is fixed and the affected plaster removed. Fresh re-render and decoration takes the room back to normal.
A typical room: 1 day prep and injection, render the same week, ready to decorate after the new plaster has dried. Full timeline depends on room size and how wet the wall is.
