LONDON'S #1 Damp Experts

How Do I Choose The Best Damp Experts In London?

Environ Property Services has a team of the best damp experts London has to offer who work to ensure that our clients’ properties are protected against the serious damage that dampness can cause. Mould and moisture can give rise to serious problems, not just to the fabric of your home or business property, but in terms of your health as well. That’s why it’s important to have your property treated. It’s also critical that you choose the right damp specialist, instead of settling for just any company.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING A DAMP SPECIALIST

Dealing with damp is a tricky task – first, you have to identify the real reason behind the problem, as there are many issues that can cause it. Then, you need to determine the right way to address it to ensure it doesn’t recur. And that’s why you need to select the right damp expert in London. Look for these factors before deciding who to hire.

  • Wealth of experience and knowledge

    It takes years of experience to understand the intricacies of dealing with damp. There are several types of damp, each with its own unique solution. Sometimes, no amount of formal training can equal the kind of knowledge that damp experts gain from experience.

    Make sure that the damp experts you are dealing with are truly the specialists they claim to be. Here at Environ Property Services, all our technicians have years of experience on top of their formal and continuous training. This means that they can diagnose the nature and extent of the issue, then recommend and implement the right solutions.

  • Accurate damp survey

    A thorough damp survey is essential, especially if you don’t want your damp problem to keep recurring. Again, this is something that should be done by experts who have years of experience. Misdiagnosing a damp problem is fairly common if you don’t have the right knowledge and experience. The biggest issue here is that you might be wasting time and money by addressing an issue that isn’t there; or dealing with the wrong problem entirely.

    A genuine expert will carry out a full and accurate damp survey and then offer recommendations on the right treatments to apply. You can test this by looking at reviews and recommendations from past customers. If a company’s testimonials state the issues have been resolved and the damp has not recurred, it is more than likely that the initial survey was accurate.

  • Willingness to offer advice

    When you choose damp experts in South London or beyond, make sure that they’re willing to give advice. They should be ready to educate you about the causes of damp in your property, the potential risks if left untreated, and the different options you have for resolving the issue.

    As a customer, you need that information to make informed decisions about how you’ll instruct the company to proceed. For that, you need all the available facts, especially in terms of the nature of the problem, the services you’ll be receiving, and the provider you’ll be choosing. We want you to fully understand what our damp proof experts in London can do for you and with what results.

  • Professionalism and reliability

    A professional firm will arrive at your property when they say they will, and the specialists will work tirelessly to address the damp issue within the timescale they have suggested. They will answer any and all of the questions you may have and address any concerns you raise throughout the job or afterwards.

    You can also trust them to deliver the right solutions for the damp issue your property is subject to, and they will do this while respecting your home or business premises.

We have been a trusted name providing first-class damp services for years now, so we know what it takes to deliver the service you require and deserve.

BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH TRUSTED DAMP EXPERTS

You hire experts because you want to make sure that the entire process goes smoothly from start to finish, with the least inconvenience possible to you and your daily routine. Here at Environ Property Services, we want you to ensure you enjoy the benefits of working with trusted professionals in the industry. Here’s what we have to offer:
  • The right solutions to the right damp problem

    The key to resolving damp problems in a property all lies in generating accurate results from a thorough damp survey, then coupling that with having the right amount of knowledge and experience to ensure that the right solutions are applied to the causes. There are various different types of damp, and some of them may show similar symptoms. However, they all have the same results – damage to your property and potential health risks.

    When you work with trusted damp experts, you can make sure that the right solution is being applied to the right problem. We do not misdiagnose – we make sure our assessment is accurate because we don’t want to waste anyone’s time or money.
  • Eliminate the risks

    If you thought damp issues only ruined the aesthetics of your walls and floors, you would be wrong. Dampness can cause plaster to crumble and could eventually weaken the walls and floors. Left untreated, this can adversely affect the structural integrity of the building altogether.

    Where damp is present in wood in your home, the added moisture will attract insects such as wood-boring beetles. If not treated as soon as possible, the damage done could mean having to replace the wood in your home entirely. And that’s not to mention the health risks that damp problems can cause. Dampness can lead to the build-up of moulds, which can cause severe allergic reactions characterised by wheezing, stuffy nose, itchy red eyes, and skin rashes. It can even result in fever and difficulty in breathing. By working with a trusted damp specialist like Environ, you can eliminate these risks.
  • Long-term results

    Getting rid of the immediate problem is not our only goal when we treat a property. The ultimate aim is to eliminate the issue for the longer term to ensure that you get the most out of your investment.

    Our damp proofing experts in London apply solutions to existing damp problems that are guaranteed to last for 15 to 25 years, depending on the case. This means that you won’t have to worry about the same problem recurring again every few years. Our damp experts can even give you tips and recommendations on how you can efficiently protect your home from other damp-related problems and risks.
Call us now on 0203 935 1596 or send us a message through our contact page and ask us to carry out a damp survey on your home or place of business today. We also provide restoration services, sash window repair, roof surveys, mould removal, and drain services to ensure that your entire premises remain safe and secure.

DAMP PROOFING: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Damp proofing refers to a process in construction in which building walls and floors are treated to prevent moisture from invading the property’s interior structures. Every house is potentially prone to damp in some form or other. While damp proofing services may constitute a financial cost to the property owner, the expenditure is minimal when you consider the time, inconvenience, and money it may save in the future.

Locations where extreme weather conditions are experienced are often more likely to suffer from damp. Damp-proofing your home can prevent damage to internal walls and weatherproof your home from bad weather. As well as the structural and aesthetic benefits from having damp proofing in your home, you can also reduce or eliminate entirely the presence of mould, which can pose risks to health.

The professionals from Environ Property Services offer the most cost-effective services and solutions to damp issues in homes and business premises alike. Call today to book a an assessment.

 

Easy Ways to Protect Your Office Against Damp

Office damp is one of the most common challenges in the workplace for both employers and employees. Damp proofing can deliver a host of benefits. Firstly, the expense of structural damage from a damp spot can easily escalate if left unaddressed for a long time. Secondly, damp-proofing office spaces lessens the incidence of illness, resulting in better productivity and reduced costs on sick pay. Office managers and building technicians should ensure that damp is addressed in the workplace by:

  • Booking a damp survey.
  • Ensuring proper ventilation.
  • Having dedicated, ventilated areas to dry wet clothes, especially during wet and cold seasons.
  • Paying extra care to damp-prone areas in the building.

You may be tempted to ignore the minor signs of damp in your building, but the problem will not resolve itself and will only worsen over time. The best and least expensive way to deal with it is to treat it at an early stage and prevent reoccurrence.

The Benefits Of Damp-proofing A Building

Damp proofing is one of the processes our damp experts in West London can carry out for you. It not only affects the appearance of a building but also maintains its integrity for the future.  These are the benefits of damp-proofing a building:

  • Increases the value of your property. A building that is free from damp retains its value, making the most of your investment.
  • Prevents the occurrence of damp-related health issues. It reduces the chances of your tenants or employees developing health issues related to damp.
  • Maintains the building’s structural integrity. It protects the building’s structure, ensuring that its appearance and features will last as long as expected.
  • Eliminates foul odour in the building. As well as the health issues damp may cause, it also gives off an unpleasant odour. Treating the problem resolves that.
  • Improves the appearance of the building. A building treated for damp will retain its aesthetics for longer, so reducing maintenance and decorating costs.

Damp is widespread but should not be ignored. If you suspect you have a damp problem, hire professional services from Environ Property Services’ damp experts in South East London and beyond. To learn more about the services we offer, check out our homepage today.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

A damp specialist can give you a good idea of whether damp is an issue in your property and how much and how far it has spread. They do this by using specialist tools that measure the level of internal damp and look at certain typical problem areas that can be affected by moisture.

There are several ways you can ensure you’re hiring reputable damp evaluators in London:

  • Arm yourself with some basic knowledge of damp before meeting tradespeople.
  • Ask about the specialist’s relationship with past customers and product manufacturers.
  • Ensure a comprehensive survey is carried out and ask about the firm’s experience in finding solutions.

Damp can cause permanent damage to a property’s structure over time, while wet and dry rot can destroy timbers and other wooden fixtures.  The longer the damp is unaddressed, the worse the decay problems will be to the property.

By hiring damp inspectors in London from a trusted company such as Environ Property Services, you can avoid permanent structural issues.

Damp professionals in London agree the most common cause of damp in many houses is condensation, especially in kitchens, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Household activities like cooking, washing, showering, and drying wet laundry without proper ventilation all contribute to damp, when warm, moist air comes into contact with cold surfaces, causing water to accumulate on surfaces. 

Damp occurs more frequently than we might think. Damp surveyors in London may recommend the following to reduce the problem:

  • Using a dehumidifier.
  • Ensuring kitchens and bathrooms are well ventilated to deal with steam from cooking, showering and bathing.
  • Applying insulation to your property.
  • Keeping your house warm.
  • Ensuring proper ventilation throughout.

If damp proofing is being applied to new constructions and/ or alterations of habitable spaces where the walls or floors are in contact with the earth, then damp specialists in London must ensure compliance with building regulations. This applies to any work on walls and related surfaces that retain earth and enclose interior spaces, as well as floors below grade.

Typically, a damp survey conducted by damp proof experts in London will take around three to four hours. Factors that might lengthen this timescale include the property size, its structure, the type of damp problem and the type and degree of damage it’s caused, and so on. In more severe cases, a survey can take a few days or more.

Surveyors and damp experts in SW6 carry out checks through visual inspections and use an electrical conductance moisture meter to check for dampness. These tools are used to measure the percentage of water in the area in which the probes are inserted. If damp has been detected, a more specific damp report may be required.

The only way to pass a damp survey to address the heart of the problem: whatever is causing damp to form. If the issue is due to condensation, the problem can be addressed more easily than when rising or penetrating damp is the cause. Ask our damp experts in Greater London on how to best handle these issues.

You’ll know your home has damp issues and needs services from reliable damp experts in East London if you notice any of the following:

  • Damp and musty smell.
  • Dark or discoloured patches on walls or plaster.
  • Excessive window condensation.
  • Lifting or peeling wallpaper.
  • The presence of mould or mildew on walls, floors, or ceilings.
  • Surfaces that feel cold or damp.

I chose to use Environ to deal with a damp wall, the whole process from beginning to end has been straightforward, well explained and they've managed to strike a pleasing balance between friendliness and professionalism. Everyone they sent over during the course of the work, as well as their office staff has been, nice helpful and accommodating. I hope not to need to use them again but if I do, I'll do so gladly!

Came round to have a look at work required and actually realised it was all low level work. Explained and showed what was required. They can back about a week later (or thereabouts) to carry out the work which was done very quickly (about an hour if I recall). Because it took less time than was originally thought have not been charged for the materials so was very happy about that.
