Why Dampcoursing

Your big risk: cheap damp proofing that fails

Many operators want to cash in quick — low prices, payment up front, and work that isn’t up to standard. The damp comes back in a year or two and you pay all over again. We take a very different approach.

Hugely experienced surveyors

Decades of knowledge of the water table, rivers, soil types and construction across London — so your problem is diagnosed correctly, first time.

Honest, independent advice

Our surveyors earn no commission and no bonus for extra work. In one or two of every ten surveys we recommend no work at all.

The full range of treatments

Not two standard methods, but a combination of techniques chosen to cure your particular problem — including our own proprietary materials.

A full guarantee, every job

Written guarantees among the longest in the industry — up to 50 years — and fully transferable if you sell your property.

Our Services

A full range of damp-proofing treatments

We provide exactly the right solution for your situation, using a combination of specialist techniques.

Chemical damp-coursing

A damp-proof course injected into the brickwork to stop moisture rising, backed by our 20-year guarantee.

Physical damp-coursing

The most durable cure of all — a physical DPC we guarantee for 50 years and have never had to return to repair.

Basement tanking & waterproofing

Turn a damp, cold cellar into a dry, habitable room with the correct tanking system for your property.

Structural waterproofing

Holding back or channelling water ingress to protect the fabric of your building.

Dry & wet rot treatment

Specialist eradication of rot — finding and fixing the moisture source, not just the symptom.

Specialist replastering (DR5)

Our own salt-retardant render, factory-tested for uniformity, so walls dry out and stay dry.

Recognised & Accredited

Trusted by homeowners and professionals alike

A large proportion of our work comes from architects, surveyors, insurers and contractors — the people who really know how damp-proofing should be done.

Written report & quote

A full report with a plan of the damp areas, the proposed treatment and a fixed quotation, emailed to you.

3

Expert treatment

Long-serving fitters and plasterers — averaging 20+ years — carry out the work and protect your home.

4

Guarantee & aftercare

A written, transferable guarantee of up to 50 years, optionally underwritten by GPI insurance.

The first step: a no-commitment survey

A fully-qualified surveyor visits, diagnoses the real cause, and emails you a full written report and quotation. Just £70 + VAT — fully refunded if you go ahead.
