Damp Proofing & Re-Plastering

Protect your home with long-lasting solutions for damp, blown plaster, salt contamination and bridging issues we are operating across the East Midlands, Nottingham Derby and Leicester. 

Common Problems We Fix

Rising Damp

Moisture from the ground travels upward through the wall by capillary action. This causes plaster to blow, paint to flake and white salts to appear. Often seen up to 1 metre high.

Bridging

This happens when plaster, render or flooring materials touch the ground or floor level, allowing moisture to “bridge” past the damp-proof course and travel up the wall like a wick.

Penetrating Damp

Moisture coming through from outside due to damaged brickwork, failed pointing, leaking gutters, or water entering from external walls. Appears as damp patches or streaks.

Blown or Salt-Contaminated Plaster

Damp carries salts from the ground or external walls. These salts get into the plaster, causing it to bubble, crumble, blister or fall away from the wall.

Damp Patches, Staining & Mould

Dark patches, musty smells or black mould growth caused by dampness or condensation. This can damage decoration and affect air quality if left untreated

Our Process

1. Inspection & Diagnosis
   We assess the affected areas and identify the most likely cause of the damp.
   
   

2. Remove Damaged Plaster
   All blown, salt-contaminated or damp-affected plaster is removed to the correct height.
   
   

3. Apply Damp Treatment
   We install the  new DPCs (Damp proof course) appropriate tanking slurry, waterproof barrier or damp-control system based on the situation.
   
   

4. Correct Backing Coat
   We use the right backing coat or render system to ensure long-term protection and durability.
   
   

5. Skim to a Smooth Finish
   Once set, we skim the surface to leave a clean, modern finish ready for decorating.
   
   

6. Drying Time & Re-Fit Guidance
   We advise you on realistic drying times and when it’s safe to paint, fit skirting boards, or reinstall kitchens/units. etc
