Converting your basement is a great way to recover unused space within your property, not only can you add an additional room that provides a fully habitable living space you will also add value to your property making a basement conversion a great investment. Why not create an affordable Gym or Cinema Room that the whole family can use. Basements and Cellars are usually dark damp areas due to them being the foundations of the property - usually located underground. Damp and moisture can penetrate through the walls or ground of the basement and in some cases will lead to flooding.
Damp proofing is the term used for fixing damp related issues in a property including the fixing of rising damp. We can give a free in depth survey of your property using moisture meters and relative humidity meters, to determine where your damp is coming from and the best methods to cure the problem. Not all damp problems in a property are due to rising damp, there can be a number of different factors causing the problem and so a full survey is very important to determine all causes of the damp problem and avoid unnecessary work and unforeseen expense.

Flooding within properties can cause major damage and damp problems on a large scale, the flooding may be from rivers, overflowing drains, or burst water pipes and a property that has been standing in a foot of water may take over a year to fully dry out. Even after the property has fully dried out you can be left with the same problems as Penetrating Damp and the efflorescent salts within the walls and plaster work will show as large white areas. There are also the issues of human waste and other contaminants that have been soaked up into the fabric of the property leading to health risks.
We organised a total refit of our business kitchen, as we had issues with damp walls due to the building age and lack of damp course. Great communication with Richard, clear understanding of the process involved. I asked if a skip was needed for him, but this was declined as they work a 0% to landfill policy. The works completed, tanking and plastering, were done cleanly and very efficiently. Thank you, I will highly recommend your services. Mark - Fourways Guest House in Thirsk.
I had a serious flooding problem that other tradesmen wouldn't touch. Richard came to see me and advised tanking. His estimate was good and his work was excellent informing me at each stage of the job. We've had a lot of very heavy rain over the winter and no flooding at all. I would highly recommend Richard. He's a really nice guy, very thorough and professional.
Richard gave a good quote for a plastering job and damp proofing. He arrived on time for the job to start and was very professional at all times. A great result, thanks.
Bishopmonkton old cobble walls so best to tank, another company recommended drill and injection which would have been totally pointless.
Full room dampproofed in Wath this week.
We have been so busy at the moment that we've neglected our social media, here I few photos of small bits of damp we've done over the last few days.
Little job in Topcliffe done during lockdown, with social distancing done at all times. Customers were really thankful we could do it and now joiner can do skirting and lay wooden floor.
