If a client suspects they have an out break of Wet Rot or Dry Rot it is essential that a professional diagnosis is obtained. Protectahome Surveyors are experienced professionals who are used to dealing with wood rotting fungi found in buildings. Whilst there are many types of wood rotting fungi there are two main groups, Brown Rots and White Rots. The Wet Rot species can be found in each group (brown or white) and usually require significantly less work to control/eradicate than true Dry Rot (Serpula lacrymans).

Having conducted a detailed inspection of accessible building timbers our Surveyor will be in a position to advise if Woodworm treatment is required. A specification of remedial works will be prepared by our Surveyor following completion of a risk assessment during which he will identify the safest, most effective way in which Woodworm Treatment can be applied. This may include the use of insecticides applied via spray, brush, trowel or injection methods. In special circumstances or where there are restricted access problems, we may be able to consider limited use of insecticidal smoke generators or ultra low volume sprays to control levels of infestation.

Protectahome design and install Basement Waterproofing solutions for all types of new and existing buildings. The earlier we are engaged on a project the better, as we can then ensure the right type of Waterproofing system is selected and the installation scheduled to meet with the construction or refurbishment programme. Basement waterproofing is the term used to describe specialist techniques that prevent water from entering homes and buildings. Basement waterproofing is required any time a structure is built below ground level or where external ground levels are adjacent to internal floor levels (Level Access).

Protectahome has over 40 years' experience of providing property based solutions. Our Waterproofing division enjoys an enviable reputation for the professional design and installation of Waterproofing systems for existing and new buildings. With all of our basement and cellar waterproofing services, you can rest assured that the potential for future damp problems will be eliminated. When we talk about Waterproofing, we are referring to the use of products and processes for the exclusion or management of penetrating free water in buildings or structures below ground level, usually at basement or lower ground floor levels.

For many years the conversion of former agricultural buildings has provided developers and owners with challenging but very rewarding projects and the end results can be quite magnificent, providing historic rural living. In recent years we have experienced a growing demand for our services in providing specialist structural repairs for barn conversions and have had the privilege of working on some fantastic projects. A large number of our projects have involved taking the shell of a former agricultural building (some in a derelict condition) and providing specialist solutions and building services to help with the sympathetic repair and conversion into habitable accommodation.

Adequate servicing and maintenance of the Sumps, Pumps and Drainage Channels of a Cavity Drain Membrane (Type C) Waterproofing System is essential to ensure the long term efficiency of the installation and your investment. This maintenance is necessary to ensure the system is free flowing, working to optimum capacity and to prevent the build up of contaminants and free lime which can reduce effectiveness of the system. Service Ports are installed within the drainage channels to provide our specialist technicians access to correctly assess and evaluate the performance of the system.

Over the last thirty years, Protectahome has become very familiar with problems associated with the failure of Structural Timbers due to attack by Wood Rotting Fungi and infestation by Wood Boring Beetles. We have also, regrettably, witnessed many projects where replacement of decayed or weakened timbers has been the preferred option and no real consideration has been given to the options now available with modern repair techniques. Techniques for Timber Repair have developed rapidly over the last 20 years and Protectahome Surveyors and Technicians have a wealth of experience in the practical application of both modern and traditional repair techniques.

With the potential of multiple sources of moisture contributing to a damp problem, it is clear that a trained professional's advice should be sought to save time and money being spent on potentially ineffective work. Our Surveyors are fully trained and experienced in dealing with Dampness in all types of properties, both commercial and residential. We are regularly commissioned by industry professionals such as surveyors, engineers, commercial property owners, loss adjusters and claims handlers to carry out inspections for dampness.

Most buildings develop cracks in their fabric at some time. Cracking within components involves the strength of the material. When building components are restrained, their strength is exceeded by stresses arising from movement in the materials therefore cracking results. The degree of cracking is dependent on several factors including the materials used in the construction and the cause of the cracking. To deal with cracking in buildings and structures, Protectahome have an extensive portfolio of structural crack repair strategies at our disposal.

With a wealth of accumulated knowledge and skill behind us, gathered over 35 years of trading, Protectahome provide specialist consultancy services for a wide range of clients. In recent years Structural Waterproofing Consultancy has become a speciality of ours leading to us working with some high profile clients including warranty providers and major contractors throughout the UK. Basements, Cellars and other forms of earth retaining structures can be notoriously difficult to waterproof correctly and have resulted in millions of pounds worth of warranty claims in the last decade alone.
