Damp Aid UK - North Wales is a family run specialist damp company & timber treatment firm who provides assessment, information and advice along with a complete service for the cure & treatments of damp walls, rising damp, woodworm treatment, dry rot control and condensation. We are also able to provide independent damp and timber surveys and reports.

Having been established nearly 30 years, we are one of the leading damp proofing & timber treatment companies in North Wales, offering cost effective solutions along with the highest standard of quality and service from your initial enquiry through to and beyond any damp-proofing or timber treatment we provide.

The services provided by Damp Aid UK - North Wales include a damp and / or timber survey & quotation (where required), damp proofing, remedies for damp walls, woodworm treatment & dry rot control, along with various remedial works (often highlighted in a homebuyers report) such as external ground lowering, re-plastering, sub-floor ventilation etc. In a high proportion of the properties we have surveyed, chemical treatment has not been necessary. Some of our clients have been provided with quotations from other damp-proof companies for a damp course injection. However, by lowering the external ground level or repairing defective rainwater goods, the damp wall has dried out naturally without the need for any chemical injection treatment.

Wherever possible, we try to eliminate any damp on walls by environmentally friendly measures instead of immediately recommending chemical damp-proof injection. Likewise, when woodworm has been found by a client, our first aim is to ascertain if the woodworm infestation is active or even a species requiring treating, before we recommend woodworm treatment. If no chemical treatment is needed - we will say so!

Our clients who have required a damp proof course, woodworm treatment or dry rot control from a reputable damp proofing company, range from domestic house holders & commercial properties through to Government buildings, Government departments and utility companies. With nearly three decades of successfully treating damp problems, damp walls, rising damp, woodworm, dry rot, wet rot and condensation, Damp Aid UK - North Wales have built a reputation of providing a quality service with very competitive prices and a personal one-to-one service with all our clients.

Damp & timber surveys, reports and/or quotations are provided by our fully qualified and experienced CSRT remedial surveyors, (who are not on commission, therefore do not need to "find work"). After carrying out the inspection we will provide you with details of the correct diagnosis, recomendations on curing or treating any damp wall, woodworm or timber decay and, if necessary, a quotation detailing any proposed treatment or remedial work to be carried out.

A Potential Costly Mistakes Due to Mis-Diagnosis (Example)

Pre-purchase damp and timber survey

Aberconway Road, Prestatyn, Denbighshire, LL19 9HH

First time buyers had put in an offer on a property in Prestatyn, near Llandudno, North Wales. A building society valuation surveyor carried out a homebuyers survey. The surveyors report highlighted areas of dampness and possible timber decay to the ground floor. A damp proofing and timber treatment company based near Prestatyn, LL19, offering free damp surveys, was recommended by the north wales estate agent selling the property. The damp company provided a damp and timber report which indicated rising damp to all the external walls and an outbreak of dry rot to an area of flooring. The price for the installation of a new chemical damp proof course, associated re-plastering and dry rot works came to £9,620.00 + vat, which prompted the building society to put a retention on the property until the works had been carried out.

The buyers commissioned us to carry out an independent damp and timber survey on their behalf. Upon inspection of the property we found that the dampness was due to a raised tarmac drive and patio area, which was bridging the original slate physical damp proof course. The raised ground levels were also obstructing all the sub-floor ventilation air bricks and the "dry rot outbreak" reported by the other damp company was, in fact, wet rot due to the high external ground level and insufficient sub-floor ventilation.

The works (and costs) recommended by the North Wales based damp-proofing company was completely unnecessary. All that was required was the lowering of the external ground levels, which opened up the existing air bricks and the replacement of the two joist ends affected by timber decay. These works were carried out by a local north wales building contractor, for a total cost of £590.00 + vat. Completely environmentally friendly and without the need for costly chemical treatment.

Needless to say, following this work, the £10,000 retention was withdrawn by the mortgage lender. Happy Days!!!

Don't take chances with your property. Get the reassurance and protection of using a fully qualified CSRT damp & timber specialist surveyor and a PCA / BWPDA member timber treatment & damp-proofing firm offering a GPI insurance backed 20 year guarantee.

With any building defect, it is essential that you get a correct diagnosis of the problem before any recommendations for dealing with it can be made. Damp Aid UK - North Wales deal with problems arising from damp in a building as well as woodworm and timber decay. Having gained crucial understanding of the nature of dampness and timber infestation, our aim is to provide an accurate diagnosis of the actual causes, not just identifying the presenting symptoms. An initial inspection is carried out by a qualified specialist damp and timber surveyor and by correctly identifying the cause of a problem, appropriate recommendations can then be made and advice given, providing clients with the awareness to make informed decisions and to avoid potentially costly and inappropriate chemical treatments often recommended by other damp-proofing companies.

All our damp proofing & woodworm treatments are carried out by our own skilled PCA trained technicians and unlike some timber & damp proofing companies, we do not use sub-contractors to carry out any of our damp proofing, woodworm treatment or dry rot control works.

As a BWPDA registered firm and members of the Property Care Association (PCA) Damp Aid UK - North Wales can provide long term guarantees issued by the Guarantee Protection Insurance Company Ltd (GPI) which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

Damp Surveys in North Wales

Depending on the instructions received, the surveyor will inspect all accessible walls at ground floor level for rising damp using an electric resistance metre and visible observations. (However, he will not normally move external obstructions or internal furnishings). External observations will be made and relevant comments on building defects such as rainwater goods, external render etc, will be made where appropriate, to the client or in the report if submitted. Any visual evidence of timber decay will also be reported upon.

Timber Surveys in North Wales

Following the client's instructions, accessible timbers will be inspected for woodboring insect attack or timber decay (dry rot, wet rot). Roof timbers will be inspected if safe access is available. Floor timbers will be inspected where accessible. With occupied properties the inspections are usually limited. Fitted carpets will not normally be lifted (unless loose) or furniture moved. Floorboards will not be lifted unless they are loose enough to do so without causing any damage. Staircase timbers will be inspected, except where fitted carpets are present. Soffits to the underside of the staircase often prevent inspection of the timbers too. Our specialist damp and timber surveys and reports issued will satisfy the mortgage lenders.

Guarantee for Damp proofing, Woodworm Treatment & Dry Rot in North Wales

Our Guarantee Certificate is issued naming the property, not the occupant; therefore there is no transfer fee if you sell. Unless otherwise stated to you, a 20 year guarantee will be issued for our specialist rising damp treatment, woodworm treatments, dry rot treatment and wet rot treatments and a 10 year guarantee for our tanking carried out on properties in North Wales. An independent Insured Guarantee (through the GPI) can be provided for an additional one-off nominal fee. Both guarantees cover materials and labour for the specialist work carried out by ourselves. (Naturally, we cannot guarantee work carried out by others). These damp-proofing, woodworm and dry rot (timber decay) guarantees are conditional upon the property being properly maintained throughout the guarantee period.
