What is Damp Proofing?
Damp proofing prevents moisture from entering your home through the walls, floors or roof. It typically uses materials like membranes or sealants to stop issues such as rising damp, condensation or water intrusion.
For homeowners, effective damp proofing protects the building’s structure, helps prevent damage to plaster and timber, and reduces the risk of mould.

Rising Damp Solutions In Leicestershire
Rising damp is commonly treated by installing a high performance silicone based damp proof course within the affected walls. Where required, any salt contaminated or deteriorated plaster is removed and replaced with specialist renovating plaster or a cavity wall membrane system designed to control moisture effectively.
While many properties across Leicestershire were originally built with a damp proof course, issues can still develop over time due to ageing materials, general wear and changing environmental conditions.
All of our rising damp treatments are backed by a 25 year guarantee, providing long term protection and giving you confidence that your property is protected for the future.

Penetrating Damp Solutions in Leicestershire
If you have noticed mould growth, damp patches or watermarks on your walls or ceilings, it may indicate penetrating damp within your property.

To help reduce the risk of further moisture entering the property, we can also apply a high quality water repellent treatment to the external masonry, offering added protection against the elements.

What are the common signs of damp in Leicestershire homes?
Common signs of damp include peeling paint or wallpaper, musty smells, visible mould growth and tide marks on walls. In many Leicestershire properties, particularly older homes, you may also notice crumbling plaster or damp patches that worsen after rainfall. Condensation on windows and cold, clammy walls can also indicate a moisture issue. Identifying these signs early is important, as untreated damp can lead to structural damage and health concerns. At Home Energy Save GB, we carry out detailed surveys to confirm the type and cause of damp before recommending the most suitable treatment.
What types of damp are most common in Leicestershire properties?
The most common types of damp we see across Leicestershire are rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. Rising damp typically affects ground floor walls in older properties, while penetrating damp is often caused by defects such as damaged brickwork or roofing. Condensation is more common in modern, well sealed homes where ventilation is limited. Each type of damp requires a different approach, so an accurate diagnosis is essential. Our surveyors assess your property thoroughly to ensure the correct treatment is recommended from the outset.
How long does damp proofing take to complete?
The duration of damp proofing work depends on the extent of the problem and the size of the affected area. In many cases, a standard damp proof course installation can be completed within one to two days. However, additional work such as plaster removal and reinstatement may extend the timeframe slightly. We always aim to minimise disruption and keep you informed throughout the process. Our team works efficiently and carefully to ensure high quality results while respecting your home and daily routine.
How much does damp proofing cost in Leicestershire?
The cost of damp proofing can vary depending on the type of damp, the severity of the issue and the size of the affected area. Rising damp treatments and penetrating damp repairs will differ in price based on the work involved. We provide a free survey across Leicestershire, allowing us to assess your property and give you a clear, no obligation quote. This ensures full transparency, so you understand exactly what work is required and the associated costs before making any decisions.
Do you offer guarantees on damp proofing work?
Yes, all of our damp proofing treatments are backed by guarantees of up to 25 years, giving you peace of mind that your home is protected for the long term. These guarantees reflect the quality of the materials we use and the standard of our workmanship. At Home Energy Save GB, we focus on delivering reliable, long lasting solutions rather than temporary fixes. Our goal is to ensure your property remains dry, healthy and structurally sound well into the future.
