Dorset’s property mix ranges from thatched cob cottages and Portland stone farmhouses to Victorian seaside terraces and modern estates. Coastal properties face persistent moisture from sea air and driving rain. Older cob and stone buildings are particularly sensitive to moisture and need specialist assessment, as standard injection methods may not be appropriate. Rising damp is common in pre-war properties, while penetrating damp affects exposed elevations during winter storms. Condensation and mould often appear in holiday homes and seasonal lets where heating is intermittent.
We do not apply a one-size-fits-all fix. We treat each job with care and respect and aim to do it right first time, everytime.
Recommendations are based on survey findings, property type and the most appropriate treatment method.
Damp proofing work is backed by a guarantee where applicable.

Get in TouchCommon signs of damp include tide marks or staining on walls, peeling paint or wallpaper, black mould, musty smells, and crumbling plaster or woodwork. You may also notice condensation on windows, cold or wet-feeling walls, or a general damp feeling in certain rooms, especially at ground level or in basements.
Damp can be caused by a range of issues, including rising damp from the ground, penetrating damp due to leaks or damaged masonry, condensation from excess moisture in the air, or even faulty gutters and drains.
