Services
Seven services covering damp, timber decay, water ingress and the reinstatement afterwards. Every one starts with a free survey so the work is priced against the actual cause.
What we do
Nothing on this list is subcontracted out. That matters when a guarantee has to be honoured years later, because the people who did the work are the people who come back.
Rising damp, chemical DPC injection, tanking and salt resistant replastering.

Written reports for buyers, sellers, landlords, letting agents and mortgage lenders.

Standards
These are the standards that set out how the work should be specified and installed. In plain English, they are the rule books, and we work to them so a surveyor or lender can rely on what has been done.
