    Great Damp Proofing Expert

    We were delighted with the work carried out by Kevin and Ring4Damp. He took the time to thoroughly investigate our problem with damp before coming up with a solution. The work was carried out quickly, efficiently and to a high standard with excellent plastering work to finish. Pricing was very competitive and we would definitely recommend him.

    Highly Recommend Kevin - very happy with the work carried out.

    Really happy with the work Kevin provided for us in the house we have just bought. The survey came back that there was damp in a couple of walls and Kevin came and tested the walls and confirmed. It's the second time we have used Kevin and Kevin fitted the job in for us quickly and we are really pleased with the job Kevin has done. Would definitely use again and I highly recommend.

    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!

    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.

Plasterhawks are an experienced damp proofing company, a family run business offering quality advice and services.


Please see our website for more detailed information and pictures. www.plasterhawks.co.uk


We specialise in the following areas:


  • Damp Proofing - Solutions to fit all Damp issues. Rising Damp and Penetrating Damp.
  • Condensation - Consulting service giving advice to reduce condensation
  • Mould - Consulting and specialist cleaning service

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.
