Rising Damp

Practically all buildings are surrounded by natural moisture which is trying to get into the dry structure of the building.

Wet Rot

Wet Rot, commonly known as cellar fungus, often has the same fungal characteristics as Dry Rot. There are several species of Wet Rot so a thorough investigation is necessary for an accurate cure.

Condensation

Condensation is the major form of dampness affecting properties throughout the country. It is caused simply by water vapour in the atmosphere forming water droplets.

Dry Rot

The true dry rot fungus is formerly known as a brown rot, causing large cuboidal shaped cracks (i.e. square fractures) and usually occurs in timber in contact with damp brickwork and poorly ventilated conditions.

Basement Waterproofing

Where floors and walls are below ground level these will always be subject to lateral water penetration and the only way to make these areas dry and useable is to 'Tank' them.

Woodworm

The term woodworm actually refers to the pupa which bores through the wood. The active life cycle of the woodworm species can vary from 1 year to 14 years.

Resin Repairs

The Rotafix Timber - Resin Splice (TRS) system offers the very best method for the repair of in-situ timber joints, wall plates, lintels and structural timbers.
