Damp Proofing for Homes Across Cambridgeshire
Certified Damp Surveys & Long-Term Solutions Since 1967
Damp Proofing Solutions in Cambridgeshire & East Anglia
Damp problems at home can be frustrating. Whether it’s a musty smell, mould on the walls, or flaking paint — it usually means moisture is getting in somewhere it shouldn’t. That’s where we come in.
Professional Damp Surveys
We start every job with a proper diagnosis. Our qualified surveyors carry out detailed damp surveys across Cambridgeshire and East Anglia. They’ll inspect your home inside and out, identify the type of damp (rising, penetrating or condensation), and explain exactly what’s causing it. You’ll get a full written report with honest recommendations and a clear cost breakdown.
No sales pressure. No guesswork. Just the right solution.

Types of Damp
Damp Problem?
We treat the cause, not just the symptoms. Solutions include remedial DPCs, internal and external membranes, mechanical ventilation units for condensation, and tanking systems for basements and cellars. If damp has already caused timber damage, we also carry out specialist wet and dry rot treatments to preserve structural integrity.
Rising Damp
Rising damp is a condition that occurs when moisture rises up through walls and floors, resulting in potential structural damage and health risks.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp is a type of moisture intrusion that occurs when water passes through cracks and other openings in buildings leading to damage and the potential for mould growth.
Condensation Damp
Condensation damp occurs when humidity levels in the home are too high, leading to water droplets condensing on cold surfaces such as windows and walls.
What we can do for you
Remedial Damp Proof Course (DPC)
A DPC stops rising damp at its source. We inject a water-repellent barrier into the lower walls to stop moisture from travelling up through the brickwork.
Internal/external membranes
These are physical barriers fitted to stop damp from penetrating walls and floors. They’re ideal for both rising and penetrating damp and can be used alongside other treatments.
Mechanical ventilation for condensation
Condensation is common in homes with poor airflow. We install discreet mechanical units that keep humidity under control and reduce mould growth without leaving windows open all day.
Timber preservation for Wet/Dry Rot
Damp conditions often lead to timber decay. Our treatments stop fungal growth in its tracks and protect structural timbers from further damage.
Tanking for Basements and Cellars
Below-ground rooms are at high risk of water ingress. We install tanking systems to seal walls and floors, keeping basements dry and usable year-round.
