“We had a timber survey carried out by R.H. Smith. They have been excellent from the start, prompt communication and even managed to schedule us a last minute cancellation appointment as I needed the survey done quickly. The report came through 4 days later as promised. Very honest report and extremely helpful.”
Rising & Penetrating Damp
If you’ve observed tide marks or mould growth on your skirting boards or property walls, these may be signs of rising damp. Since 1956, we have been providing homeowners and commercial property owners with rising damp treatment and general damp penetration treatment services in Worthing. Our damp proofing services are designed to tackle overhead, lateral and rising damp.
Dry and Wet Rot
Both dry rot and wet rot should not be underestimated as they can cause extensive damage to your property. Left untreated, both dry and wet rot can lead to damage to the structural integrity of your property, making it unsafe and a risk to your family. Not to mention, the wrong diagnosis could lead to the wrong rot treatment, meaning more costly repairs down the road.
Timber Decay & Woodworm
If your property’s structure mainly comprises timber, it is important you have it checked for woodworm infestation. Prior to carrying out any form of timber treatment, we’ll conduct a thorough survey to understand the extent of the damage. We’ll then use comprehensive and cost-effective remedies such as spraying insecticide and/or fungicide to get rid of the beetle infestation in your wood.
Basement Tanking
Basement waterproofing is one of the best ways to prevent damp in your basement. We serve clients in Worthing and across Sussex and the South East and provide a basement tanking service that is affordable and second to none. We use various comprehensive methods to make sure your basement is completely waterproof and free from rising damp and other moisture problems.
