Orchard Development / Preservations

Orchard Preservations was born because our founder, John Taylor-Bashford, found it was almost impossible to source damp proofing and timber treatments from subcontractors that met his standards. Because of this, he created Orchard Preservations to provide his own in-house treatment service for customers. Since then over 20 years have passed, and we have earned a great reputation as damp specialists in the South West. Anyone can get damp or rot issues in their home, no matter how new or well-kept your house is.

When timber is in prolonged contact with damp or is in an area prone to condensation, you should be cautious of wet and dry rot. This fungal decay can severely damage your timber and, if left untreated, is extremely hard to eradicate. Catch it early and hire our preservation specialists from Orchard Preservations for high-quality wet rot treatments and dry rot repair. Dry rot is the most serious form of fungal damage, as it spreads quickly throughout the timber in the building. This means the damage to your property can become extensive and therefore very expensive to fix.

You can combat these problems with basement waterproofing from Orchard Preservations. It can transform your unused basement into a comfortable accommodation that can add significant value to your property. Orchard Preservations basement waterproofing experts install a membrane. This membrane has an air gap behind it that makes it act like a dry lining to your walls, floors, and ceiling. This makes it possible for water to be evacuated outside the building. All membrane junctions and joints are designed with the objective of removing all the water behind the membrane.
