Penetrating damp is usually a result of leaking down pipes and gutters or roof related issues, or porous building material, allowing water to get into the building causing the walls to become wet.

Condensation Control

The main way of implementing condensation control is to look at ways of reducing the amount of moisture being created in the property from sources such as showers, cooking and drying clothes. These steps, coupled with increased ventilation often prove sufficient, however occasionally further action may be needed.

Woodworm Treatment Scottish Borders

Woodworm Treatment

Woodworm is treated by spraying the timbers with a water-based insecticide. This coats the surface of the timbers and produces a layer of residual fluid which will remain in place to ensure that any woodworm eating their way out of the timber will become sterile and therefore unable to breed.

Epoxy Resin Repairs

Although some timber repair jobs require a full strip of the building fabric, we can, in some circumstances provide alternative specifications which may allow the problem to be solved without the need for costly reinstatement works.
