How it works
Our straightforward process from inspection to protection
No pressure, no hard sell – just an honest look at what's actually happening in your walls or timbers, and a plan to fix it.
Get in touch
Call or send us the details of what you're seeing — a damp patch, a musty smell, a crack, a soft skirting board. We'll ask a few questions and arrange a visit.
Survey & report
One of our surveyors inspects the property, takes moisture readings where relevant, and identifies the actual cause — not just where the damage shows.
Clear treatment plan
You get a written recommendation in plain English, with the method explained and a fair price, before any work begins.
Treatment & guarantee
Our team carries out the work to trade standard, and it's backed by our guarantee — ask us for the specific terms that apply to your job.
