10 Damp Proofer
Posted 03 June
Great job done!
Would thoroughly recommend! Excellent service from start to finish. Gave several options to help us decide on the best course of action after a large chunk of our 120 year old ceiling dropped out. Kevin was here the day after we called to survey the damage and did the work just 3 days later. Very clean worker and a professional job!Verified reviewerJob location: TW209.67 Damp Proofer

Fixing damp issue
Kevin was great with the work to address a damp issue and some external work that was needed. Kevin took time to explain his approach, and did some additional cosmetic work for the exterior without being asked. We weee so happy with the result and would recommend Plasterhawks for any damp and plastering needs.Verified reviewerJob location: SL410 Damp Proofer

Very disappointed dissatisfied and angry.
Kevin quoted £4,000 to damp proof about 7 meters of lower ground floor walls in my property. He came, removed the plaster without protecting the premium wood hard floor we have, and making a lot of mess. He left me with walls that are not straight, to the point I cannot put back the same skirting boards, and he has broken over 10 sockets by removing them without any grace, losing the screws and various parts. I have now an over £500 electrician bill to pay. But of course Kevin is gone to do his damage somewhere else. Avoid him.Verified reviewerJob location: TW10Response from Plasterhawks Damp Proofing
We did put dust sheets down, I have pictures to prove! The walls where already uneven in fact we straightened them up the best we could, we did not loose any screws to the sockets as we replaced them all on the last day expect for 1 which I pointed out to her before we left and they where working because we used our hoover to clear up The customer failed to mention it was 10m of damp proofing and we did not charge anymore.

Rising Damp - Chemical Damp proof course (DPC)
Rising damp is when moisture is absorbed from the ground into the walls, by capillary action through the pores of the masonry seeking a means of evaporation.
All new houses are built with a Damp proof course (DPC) which forms a barrier against the moisture rising.
Older houses
however may have been built without a DPC or over a period of time may have become defective.
A new DPC can be installed creating that barrier against moisture.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp is when rainwater is penetrating through brickwork, this can happen if the mortar in the brickwork has become brittle and loose or the bricks themselves have become very porous over time, defective guttering etc.
A water repellent coating can be applied, this will allow the bricks to still breathe and repel water.
Condensation Control
Condensation occurs in cold weather when warm humid air cools on contact with cold surfaces like external walls and windows and in places of poor air circulation such as corners, behind wardrobes and cupboards.
These are ideal conditions for black mould to grow and will grow rapidly if not addressed.
Solutions include:
· Consulting with homeowner/tenant on simple methods to reduce condensation/mould
· Use of Dehumidifiers
· Positive Input Ventilation
· Passive Vents
· Anti Mould Paint
· Specialist Cleaning Services
We pride ourselves in offering a prompt, efficient service and are always conscious of our customer’s needs.
