Understand what is affecting your property
Damp and timber defects can present themselves in several different ways, from patches of staining and deteriorating plaster to damaged or weakened timber. Finding the cause is essential, as treating the visible symptoms alone may not resolve the underlying problem.
Our damp proofing and timber specialists in Rotherham investigate a range of issues, including rising damp, penetrating damp, wet rot, dry rot and woodworm. We can also prepare damp and timber reports where you need a clearer understanding of a property's condition, whether you already own it or are considering a purchase.
Targeted solutions for damp and timber problems
Once we identify an issue, we explain the findings and discuss the appropriate way forward. Depending on the condition of the property, remedial work may include damp-proofing measures, treatment for woodworm or fungal timber decay, and associated repairs to affected areas.
Curedamp Ltd is a member of the Property Care Association, with inspections undertaken by CSTDB-qualified surveyors and remedial work carried out by PCA-qualified technicians. Our damp-proofing work also comes with a 10-year company warranty, giving you additional reassurance about the work we have completed.
