When windows and walls are streaming with moisture and mould growth starts to appear, one or more of the above are usually missing. With more and more properties becoming draught proofed and insulated air flow (ventilation) can become restricted. Drying clothes inside, bathing, cooking, washing, fridges and freezers all produce levels of moisture that can contribute to condensation and mould growth. If heating is not provided on a regular basis and at reasonable temperatures the air within the property can become too cold, and will have the ability to absorb less moisture vapour, so the condensation becomes worse.

We provide a comprehensive service to both the private and commercial sectors including Rising Damp solutions and comprehensive Basement Conversions. Our experienced surveyors can provide professional advice on the best treatment for your building or home. They will only recommend the service necessary to remedy or control the problem. No more, no less.
