BEFORE YOU ENQUIRE
Your questions, answered.
Do you cover my area?
Our service area is centred on Byfleet and nearby Surrey towns within approximately 10 miles from KT14 7TA. Send the property postcode to confirm coverage; road distances and travel times vary.
Does damp always mean a new DPC is needed?
No. Leaks, high ground levels, bridged damp proof courses and condensation can create similar symptoms. An inspection should establish the likely cause before treatment is specified.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photographs help explain the visible issue, but concealed defects and wall construction may need an on-site inspection. A repair specification and price depend on the findings.
Can the plaster be repaired too?
Yes, associated plaster repairs can form part of the proposed work. The correct approach depends on moisture, salts and the wall construction.
How long does a treated wall take to dry?
Drying varies with the wall thickness, construction, ventilation and extent of moisture. Ask for drying and redecoration guidance with the proposed work.
How much will the repair cost?
Costs depend on the cause, affected area, access and finish required. A written quotation should set out the work and any exclusions before you proceed.
Let’s start with the cause.
