Ethan came over and assessed the damage to my mum's ceiling following a flood. He gave us a clear assessment and options for the repair. He came over really promptly and worked around us for a date for the work. Ethan is very professional.

What’s included

Every damproofing job, the same standard.

Rising Damp Treatment

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.

Penetrating Damp

Tracking moisture back to the source: failed pointing, cracked render, missing flashings, sub-floor ventilation. Fix the cause first, then the symptom.

Condensation & Mould

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.

Older Properties

Sandstone, lime-bonded and pre-1919 walls do not work like modern cavity walls. Our team uses breathable lime-based systems where they belong, not modern impermeable ones.

FAQ

Damproofing questions, answered.

Anything else? Ring or WhatsApp us and ask.

Do I really have rising damp?

Sometimes yes, often no. A lot of “rising damp” diagnoses are actually penetrating damp or condensation in disguise. We survey properly before we recommend injection.

Will the smell go?

Yes, once the source is fixed and the affected plaster removed. Fresh re-render and decoration takes the room back to normal.

How long does the fix take?

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.

Is the survey and quote really free?

Yes. Free survey, free quote, no obligation and no high-pressure sales. You get a fixed price up front, and that is the price. To book yours, get in touch.

Are you insured?

Yes. We have £5 million public liability insurance for all our work.

Google reviews

Words from those we’ve worked with.

We recently had Ethan plaster our hall and three bedrooms, and we honestly could not be happier with the result. He has done an absolutely fantastic job and we are extremely impressed with the finish throughout. The walls are perfectly smooth and ready to decorate.
Kieren

I can't recommend Ethan highly enough. He plastered our entire 4-bedroom house and completed the job to absolute perfection. From start to finish, Ethan was polite, professional, and always respectful of our home.
