If you are comparing damp proofers or looking for a damp proofing company, the most important thing is a proper diagnosis before any treatment is recommended. Damp patches, mould, damaged plaster and salt marks can all have different causes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Damp Proofing Questions
Not sure what is causing the damp? That is exactly what the survey is for.
What is the best method of damp proofing?
There is no single method that suits every property. A chemical damp-proof course may be appropriate for confirmed rising damp, while penetrating damp, condensation and below-ground moisture require different solutions. We identify the cause first and recommend only the treatment the property needs.
Do you offer free damp surveys near me?
Yes. We offer free damp surveys across Northamptonshire, including Northampton, Wellingborough, Kettering, Rushden, Corby, Daventry and Towcester. We confirm the cause before recommending any damp proofing work.
How much should damp proofing cost?
The cost depends on the cause, the size of the affected area and whether plaster or timber repairs are required. We provide a free survey followed by a clear written quotation, so you know the recommended work and price before treatment begins.
Can you damp proof a wall from the inside?
Yes, internal treatments can include a damp-proof course, waterproof membrane, specialist render or cavity-drain system. The correct approach depends on how moisture is entering the wall, and any external defect or moisture source must also be addressed.
How long does a DPC injection last?
A correctly installed chemical damp-proof course (DPC) typically lasts 20 to 30 years or more, and ours is backed by a 10-year insured guarantee. Lasting results depend on correct installation and treating the underlying cause, which is why a proper survey matters.
Do you provide damp wall repair?
Yes. After diagnosing the cause of damp, we can advise on damp wall repair where plaster, salts or masonry have been affected. The repair depends on whether the issue is rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation or another moisture source.
What Our Clients Say
Trusted by Homeowners Across Northamptonshire
Trevor has just recently completed a damp and woodworm survey on my home (as part of a home buy/selling process). Trevor came around within a few days following my request for an assessment and was highly knowledgeable and professional. He then produced a report which was informative and helpful. Would recommend.

I was very impressed with this company. They carried out damp proofing and replastering, and although I knew it might be messy work, the house was kept clean throughout and the team were polite and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend.
