Water ingress below ground needs a solution suited to the structure, water conditions and intended use of the space. We assess existing finishes and waterproofing before recommending a scope. Options may include Type A tanking or Type C cavity drainage systems where appropriate. Drainage, junctions, maintainability and reinstatement are considered together.Rising and penetrating damp
We investigate moisture paths and possible bridging before recommending treatment. Chemical damp-proof courses are used where appropriate to the diagnosis. Rainwater defects, cavity issues and damaged finishes may require a different approach.Condensation, mould and ventilation
We assess moisture sources, ventilation and cold surfaces. Recommendations can include practical moisture-control measures, continuous extract ventilation (DMEV) or Positive Input Ventilation (PIV), where suitable for the property.Chimney damp and salt contamination
Staining on a chimney breast can involve water ingress, salts or more than one cause. We investigate before defining the remedial work and compatible plastering finish.Cavity inspections and clearance
We investigate debris, bridging and insulation-related moisture issues, with cavity clearance or insulation removal where required and appropriate.Plastering and reinstatement

On a completed project, our work included removing vegetation around the window and brickwork, repairing open pointing at the base of the wall, installing new soffits and guttering, and clearing old, wet cavity wall insulation. The work addressed potential routes of water ingress and moisture bridging so the affected masonry could begin drying. Drying time and any further reinstatement depend on the condition of the property.What happens next?
