Insite Southern offer a complete specialist service in the eradication of woodborer infestation, fungal decay and dampness found in buildings. Our principal activities are detailed within this website but we further undertake stone and masonry pressure cleaning together with the application of exterior water repellents and algicides. We use exclusively the "Wykamol" range of products and techniques using "environmentally friendly" chemicals and have the full backing of their research and development.
In the majority of cases the provision of a remedial damp proof course is a cost effective option with minimum disturbance to the occupier. Rising damp is often visually apparent to the property owner or prospective purchaser by noting discolouration and damage to decorative finishes. However, dampness is not always so noticeable and if left unchecked can soon lead to subsequent problems such as dry rot and wet rot which can seriously affect the structure of the property. Our Surveyors with the aid of specialised equipment will carry out a detailed inspection, analyse their findings and will report upon the probable causes of the problem.
The photograph above depicts a typical property showing signs of cracking to the rendering/brickwork consistent with wall tie failure. Insite Fixings was formed in order to provide a specialist service in the field of wall tie replacement which, according to the Building Research Establishment is likely to affect in excess of 10 million homes in the United Kingdom. All remedial works, unless specified, are undertaken with the benefit of a 25 YEAR CERTIFICATE OF GUARANTEE. Buildings as recent as 1981 can be affected by cavity wall tie corrosion and failure may be initially identified by horizontal cracking to the bedding joints, bugling and distortion to the masonry.
Condensation is a natural by-product of modern living which is a real menace and the effects are often very unpleasant - streaming windows, mould, peeling wallpaper and the tell- tale dank smell of rot and decay. When dampness is your problem, you find yourself engaged in a losing battle with frequent redecoration costs. To understand the cause is to understand the cure. As air becomes warmer, it expands and more moisture is absorbed. It will act like a sponge until it is saturated, as in a cloud.
