Damp Proofing Specialists in and around Oxfordshire

Damp proofing a property is essential to prevent water ingress, which leads to a building’s material biodegrading. This can lead to serious damp problems for a property such as rising damp or penetrative damp, which is why it’s fundamental to the preservation and maintenance of all buildings that they remain as watertight as possible.

Any defect permitting access of moisture into the fabric of a building must be remedied or treated to prevent further entry of water, and the area affected by water dried out. In order to identify defects that can lead to water ingress and to identify areas within the building that are at risk of damp problems like fungal decay, a detailed inspection should be undertaken by a competent specialist who will carry out an external and internal investigation of the property.

Whether you’re experiencing rising damp or penetrative damp, Property Conservation Services Ltd will help find the issue, repair any damage and finally damp proofing your property to prevent further disruption.

Damp proofing against rising damp

Property Conservation Services Ltd provides chemical damp proof courses for properties to ensure a speedy cure for most cases of rising damp. This involves drilling into the affected walls and injecting the chemical solution via pressure into the masonry.

Damp proofing against penetrative damp

When it comes to penetrative damp, we add a waterproof slurry to the walls, and in some cases add a membrane. Once the rising or penetrative damp has been cured, we’ll complete plastering work, ensuring your wall is as good as new.

We contacted this company due to rising damp issues and the surveyor came within a couple of days and explained our problems clearly. The technicians were booked in to fix the problem within a week or so and they arrived on time and worked extremely hard until the work was completed. They left the site clean and tidy and were very pleasant men to deal with. I would recommend this company to anyone.

This was the most pleasant experience dealing with a company based on their review on line. From the moment I contacted the company their representative Steve arrived I felt completely confident in his assessment of the damp issue in the porch. It wasn’t a hard sell it was an honest assessment of the cause using technology which highlighted the damp issues. The price was right for the work and was very competitive from others who I now feel were misleading us on what needed to be done ! The workmen involved in the total process were exceptional the workmen who did the plastering and the carpenter team were faultless and left the area spotless. The Admin team were exceptional in co ordinating the whole job. THIS IS AN HONEST REVIEW.
