Damp Report

Real Damp Solutions offer a long term solution to your damp problems, we offer our services to domestic, commercial & Industrial premises. Contact us today for a survey! Rising damp is the passage of groundwater upwards through masonry. The water rises through a series of inter-connecting pores by a process called 'capillarity' - meaning the porous masonry acts like a wick.

Wall Ties Report

Wall ties are important as they tie the inner and outer brick walls of cavity constructed properties together. Wall ties are vital to prevent movement of the structure. Cavity wall tie damage occurs due to corrosion of the wall tie which is usually evidenced by the appearance of horizontal cracking along the lines of the mortar beds in the walls.

Woodworm Treatment Report

Woodworm is a general term for all wood boring insects that can cause infestation of timbers. Woodworm (woodboring insects) come in a variety of shapes and sizes and attack a wide variety of timbers. Woodworm can attack at various times throughout the year under the correct conditions. Woodworm can cause serious structural damage to properties, therefore it is important to conduct a woodworm survey as soon as woodworm infestation is suspected.

Rot Treatments Report

Wet rot and dry rot are completely different fungal decaying rots which survive in totally different environments. Wet rot and dry rot require different remedial treatments. Wet rot and dry rot both require excessive and prolonged wetting of timbers they exhibit different decay characteristics.

What fantastic service! They diagnosed the issue over the phone and suggested remedies that will save me a lot of time and money. I've rarely experienced such excellent and friendly service.

Great service! Aidan was extremely helpful in providing us with a detailed and accurate damp/timber report. He was straightforward and clear about the issues that needed to be addressed. I would definitely recommend Aidan at Real Damp Solutions.

Performed woodworm treatment and cavity wall replacement, as well as repointing the entire front wall of the property. From the very first day to the very last Aidan and Dave were absolutely top class. The quality of the repointing work is second to none. Aidan went above and beyond to make sure the house was getting the best treatment and provided brilliant advice. I would happily recommend Real Damp Solutions to anyone.

Very impressed with Aidan and his team who addressed my wall tie issue. Knowledgeable, supportive and honest. Always worth getting a proper check and paying for a proper fix like Aidan promises - I will be recommending to all around me.

Just called to make an enquiry about someone coming to review some damp in my property. Very abrupt response to say they were fully booked for the next week and a half. When I asked about a time that might suit after this, I was abruptly told that this isn't a free service (which I was perfectly aware of and wasn't expecting a free service). Rude and unhelpful.

Great work, Aidan really knows what he is doing. I was left in a bad situation by another damp specialist in the area and Aidan was able to help me put things right and do the job properly. Wish I had found him in the first place.

Really friendly and knowledgeable. Was able to come out and see us the day after I phoned. Discussed several maintenance activities we should undertake to prevent damp issues in our old house, but didn't recommend any works to be undertaken by Real Damp Solutions. Thanks!
