Damp Proofing in Warwickshire
Across the Midlands we see a real mix of solid-wall Victorian terraces prone to rising and penetrating damp, and newer estate housing where condensation and cold-spot mould are the more common issue.
Most surveys in Warwickshire are arranged within a few working days, and a single-wall damp-proof course and re-plaster is usually a one-to-three-day job. We'll always confirm timings up front rather than leaving you with a vague window.
Across Warwickshire we handle everything from rising damp treatment and penetrating damp treatment to condensation and mould control, installing a fresh damp-proof course and salt-resistant damp-proof re-plastering afterwards. Where damp has reached skirtings or joists we add woodworm and timber treatment, and for wet cellars we offer basement waterproofing — every job starting with a proper damp survey so the cause is diagnosed before any work begins.

Damp proofing in Warwickshire — frequently asked questions
What is a damp-proof course (DPC)?
A DPC is a barrier that stops ground moisture rising up through a wall. Older properties may have a failed or missing one; we install a new chemical DPC by injecting a water-repellent cream into the mortar course, which cures to form a continuous barrier.
Do I need to re-plaster after damp treatment?
Usually, yes. Rising damp carries salts into the plaster that keep drawing moisture even after the DPC is in, so the affected plaster is removed and replaced with a salt-resistant system. This is what lets the wall dry out and be redecorated without the problem coming back through.
How quickly can you survey a property in Warwickshire?
We cover Warwickshire regularly and can usually arrange a survey within a few working days — sooner for urgent cases such as a sale falling through on a damp report.
Is your damp proofing work guaranteed?
Yes — damp-proof course treatments are carried out to industry standards and backed by a written workmanship guarantee. We confirm the exact terms and length in your quote before any work starts.
Can you treat woodworm and rotten timber too?
Yes. Damp and timber problems usually go together — where damp has caused wet rot, dry rot or woodworm in joists, skirtings or timbers, we treat the timber as part of the same visit once the moisture source is dealt with.
Damp is treated by cause, not by symptom: rising, penetrating and condensation damp look similar but need completely different treatments, which is why every job starts with a proper survey and diagnosis before any work is quoted.
