Restora provide surveys and damp proofing services to a wide range of areas in Greater Manchester and beyond, including:
Damp proofing is the process and materials used to control and prevent moisture from penetrating walls, floors and the interiors of a building.
The initial damp proofing treatment usually takes around 1-3 days for a standard room, this is then followed by a period of curing, setting and drying.
Unfortunately Manchester is an area of high rainfall, this means local houses, especially older brick terraces are particularly susceptible to worn masonry which can contribute to rising and penetrating damp.
If damp is left untreated it can cause structural damage, risks from mould and higher repair costs.
We recommend that you start with a damp survey to ensure the cause and type of damp is correctly identified. The survey can then also ensure the correct treatment is undertaken.
