Damp concerns in a building are assessed with professional experience and the use of appropriate equipment, including electronic moisture meters. We use the Protimeter ® Survey Master SM instrument with both contact probes for surface measurement and radio scanning for assessing moisture behind surfaces. We also use the Tramex ® Moisture Encounter Plus radio scanning moisture meter which has advantages over the Protimeter in some applications.

There can be differing remedies for damp depending on the type of construction and the damp situation. We give advice and recommendations on appropriate action. At times, the problem may be something other than rising salt damp or there may be an underlying moisture issue rather than just a failure of the damp proof course (or lack of one).

We do not do salt damp treatments so you can be assured that the advice offered is from a professional point of view rather than wonder if it is connected with getting "follow-on" work.

Our expertise is respected in the industry and is called on by leading salt damp companies to advise on solving damp problems.
