Damp caught early costs far less to fix
If you have noticed damp patches, mould or tide marks on your walls, it is worth getting it looked at sooner rather than later. Damp does not go away on its own and the longer it is left, the more damage it causes to plaster, timber and the structure of your home.
We will tell you honestly what we find and what needs doing. No upselling, no unnecessary work.
- Free no obligation inspection and quote
- Honest diagnosis — we only recommend what is needed
- Full replastering after treatment included where required
- One team handles treatment and replastering throughout
Damp proofing services in Colchester
We treat the cause, not just the symptoms. Every job starts with a proper diagnosis.
Rising damp
Rising damp occurs when ground moisture travels up through walls. We install a new damp proof course and replaster with salt-resistant materials.
Penetrating damp
Water coming in through walls, roofs or around windows. We identify the source, stop the ingress and repair any damage to plaster inside.
Condensation and mould
Often mistaken for rising damp. We treat the wall, improve ventilation and insulate cold spots where condensation forms.
Replastering after treatment
Once the damp is treated, the damaged plaster needs to come off and be replaced. We handle this as part of the same job.
How it works
We do not guess. Every job starts with a proper inspection before any work is recommended.
Free inspection
We visit, assess the damp properly and identify the cause. No charge, no obligation.
Clear written quote
We explain what we found, what needs doing and what it will cost. No jargon, no surprises.
Treatment carried out
Damp proof course, tanking, insulation or ventilation — whichever is right for the problem.
Replastered and finished
Damaged plaster removed and replaced with salt-resistant materials. Left ready to decorate.
