Our Damp Proofing Solution

To permanently resolve the issue, we implemented a professional damp proofing system tailored to the property:

  1. Removal of contaminated plaster to expose affected masonry
  2. Installation of a new chemical damp-proof course (DPC)
  3. Application of salt-resistant replastering system
  4. Drying period and final decorative preparation

This approach ensures that moisture is blocked at source and prevents future damp issues.
