The mastic sealant around the bath edging had become defective, allowing surface water to enter the space below the bath, thus soaking the screed.

As the property was undergoing refurbishment at the time, it was advantageous to carry out the work as soon as possible.

With regard to the elevated ground level, we excavated the ground and installed Geo-Drain Quattro from Delta

Moisture meter readings revealed evidence of rising damp

It was found that the old airbricks were deteriorated, and the surrounding ground was too high to prevent run-off rainwater entering the subfloor void

Two disused brick constructed basements showed clear evidence of water ingress

Larger emergence holes were also noted, with loosely packed frass localised on the oak support beams, indicating possible active Deathwatch Beetle

During inspection, our surveyor found evidence of active Woodworm (Common Furniture Beetle/Deathwatch Beetle) on several structural timbers.

Furthermore, there was evidence of localised condensation throughout – possibly due to lack of ventilation and insufficient heating.

Damp throughout the whole of the ground floor in this Grade II Listed Building. The solid concrete floor was possibly laid circa 1969.

Preventing further instances of damp we created sub floor ventilation

In the worst areas, the old laths were replaced with riven timbers before the application of 3 coats of lime and horse hair plaster

A toxic box was installed by drilling and injecting a masonry biocide into the walls and floors

The original 1980’s bitumen membrane had broken down and was allowing ground water to rise up through the sand and cement floor screed.

Once the standing water was pumped out and under control, we began by stripping out any affected materials

The leak occurred at the second-floor gable end and created damp in the timber structures and plasterboard wall.

Our building on this project was a 300-year-old Grade II listed building that had lost some original lime plaster on an external wall on the second fl

Inspection revealed evidence of water ingress at the walls junction with the earth floor.

Inspection revealed evidence of water ingress at the walls junction with the earth floor.

This aim of this particular project was to restore a fireplace that had been altered over the years due to salt damp.

Our tanking surveyors proposed changes to the below ground external drainage to prevent surface water build up.

The purpose of a damp-proof course is to stop water from the ground rising up the walls of buildings.

The client wanted to convert the basement which they were using as storage space, and create another habitable level to their property.

This damp proofing project was agreed after a free damp survey was carried out by an expert damp surveyor.

This project was to eliminate damp problems within the kitchen of a lovely stone house in the Cotswold village of Shipton under Wychwood.

We were tasked with remedying damp problems using a dry lining Delta Cavity Membrane system.

The project in hand was to bring a very damp outbuilding back to a habitable condition in Witney, Oxfordshire

Installation of a damp proofing and dry lining system within a stone detached property in Middle Barton, Oxford

This Basement Conversion project was designed to transform this once wet and unused space into a newly built addition to the original farm house

This Basement Tanking project was designed to convert an unused basement area into a kids play area.

This Basement Tanking project was designed to make an unused basement area usable and free from damp.

The client called Property Conservation Services Ltd to Install a damp proof course.

The client called Property Conservation Services Ltd to undertake a complete removal of a failed basement conversion.

The high ground level was causing penetrating damp to enter the building and collect as visual dampness at the base of the wall.

The client wanted a dry and warmer wall surface so we recommended Delta MS which is a meshed cavity drain membrane used for waterproofing...
