Choosing the right service
Different property problems need different responses. Damp staining may be related to rising damp, penetrating moisture, condensation or a leak. Timber damage may involve fungal decay or wood-boring insects. Defective render can also allow moisture to enter a wall. Identifying the issue and understanding the building are important before remedial work is selected.
For older or listed buildings, materials and repair methods should also be considered carefully so that work is appropriate to the construction and character of the property.
