Expertise You Can Trust

Having worked in diverse environments, our team brings a wealth of knowledge that allows us to tackle damp issues with confidence. As a qualified plasterer and bricklayer, I’ve spent decades in the construction industry, honing my skills in conservation, new builds, and renovations. This extensive background informs our approach to damp proofing, enabling us to accurately assess and resolve the specific challenges each property presents.

Understanding Damp: Beyond the Surface

Many properties are mistakenly labelled as suffering from rising damp, leading to misdiagnosis and ineffective solutions. At Dampstop, we understand that not all damp issues stem from the ground up. Our approach encourages us to question the underlying causes of dampness: if a property has been damp since its construction, what does that imply about its design and maintenance?

We utilise advanced diagnostic tools such as thermal imaging, radio meters, surface meters, and boroscopes. These technologies provide us with a detailed understanding of moisture levels and sources, ensuring we deliver targeted solutions tailored to each property’s unique needs.

The Problem with Quick-Fix Solutions

While some companies may advocate for costly injection systems and other treatments, we believe in addressing the root cause of damp issues. Our philosophy is rooted in integrity; we do not sell unnecessary treatments. Instead, we focus on comprehensive assessments that identify the true nature of the problem, leading to effective, long-term solutions.
