Damp Proofing
Stop the water, then treat the damp
Damp inside a home often starts outside, and a roofer is well placed to find it. Penetrating damp from a leaking roof, a cracked chimney, failed pointing or an overflowing gutter shows up as staining, blown plaster or a musty smell, and treating the wall without stopping the water only lets it come back.
We trace where the water is entering, put the external fault right, whether that is a flashing, a slipped tile, the pointing or the guttering, and then treat and make good the affected area. Where the damp needs specialist work we tell you honestly what is involved. The point is to deal with the cause, not paint over the symptom.
