What is Damp Proofing?
Damp proofing helps stop moisture from getting into your home’s walls, floors, and roof. It usually means using things like damp-proof membranes, coatings, or other materials to protect against rising damp, condensation, or water coming in from outside.
For homeowners, it’s a key step in keeping the structure sound, preventing damage to plaster and wood, and avoiding mould.

Rising Damp Solutions In Birmingham
Rising damp is typically treated by injecting a silicone-based damp proof course into the affected wall. Where needed, damaged plaster is removed and replaced with renovating plaster or a specialist cavity wall membrane system.
Although most homes in the UK have a damp proof course in place, issues can develop due to poor installation, damage over time, or high ground levels outside that bypass the barrier.
We offer a 25-year guarantee on our treatments, giving you lasting protection and peace of mind.

Penetrating Damp Solutions in Birmingham
If you’re noticing damp patches, mould, or watermarks, you might be dealing with penetrating damp.

We’ll remove any damaged materials, apply a waterproof membrane to help the area dry out, and fix any external issues such as damaged brickwork or roofing. A water-repellent coating will then be added to prevent future moisture getting in.
All our work is covered by a 25-year guarantee, giving you confidence in the results.

What are the signs that my home might need damp proofing?
There are several signs that may indicate a damp problem in your home. These include patches of damp or discolouration on walls or ceilings, peeling paint or wallpaper, a musty smell, and visible mould growth—particularly in corners or near skirting boards. You might also notice damp floors or warped timber. If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s best to get a professional survey to assess the cause and extent of the problem before it worsens.
What types of damp can affect my property?
The main types of damp that affect homes are rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation-related damp. Rising damp comes from moisture moving up through the walls from the ground due to a damaged or missing damp proof course. Penetrating damp happens when water gets through the external walls or roof, often due to faulty brickwork, cracked render, or damaged gutters. Condensation is caused by moisture in the air settling on cold surfaces, often in areas with poor ventilation. Each type requires a different approach, so accurate diagnosis is important.
What does the free damp survey involve?
Our free survey is a thorough assessment carried out by one of our experienced damp specialists. We inspect both the interior and exterior of your property to identify any signs of damp, determine the likely source, and measure moisture levels where needed. After the inspection, you’ll receive a clear report detailing our findings and outlining the best treatment options. There’s no pressure to commit to any work, and our aim is simply to give you useful, honest advice.
How long does damp proofing treatment take?
The time it takes to complete damp proofing depends on the severity of the problem and the type of treatment required. Minor issues might be resolved in a day or two, while more extensive problems—such as rising damp that requires plaster removal and injection—could take several days. Once we’ve carried out the initial survey, we’ll give you a full schedule and explain what to expect so you can plan around the work.
Is the damp proofing work guaranteed?
Yes, all of our damp proofing treatments come with a 25-year guarantee. This covers the work and materials used, so you can feel confident that your home is protected well into the future. If any issues arise within that time related to the work we’ve done, we’ll return to put it right. The guarantee reflects our confidence in the quality of our materials and workmanship.
Will the treatment be disruptive to my home?
We do our best to keep disruption to a minimum. While some treatments involve removing sections of plaster or working in certain rooms for a few days, our team works quickly, cleanly, and with respect for your home. We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and take steps to contain dust and mess. Before starting, we’ll explain everything clearly so there are no surprises.
