Penetrating Damp Treatment – Filton, Bristol
The homeowner contacted us after experiencing persistent signs of damp within their home. The issue was affecting the external walls and had begun to impact the overall comfort and condition of the room.
The Problem
Visible symptoms of damp were present along various sections of the walls. Due to the extent of the damp contamination, it was necessary to remove the existing wall plaster to full height to allow for effective treatment and long-term protection.
Our Solution
Our team carried out a comprehensive treatment using a proven, multi-stage approach designed to stop residual moisture causing further damage to the internal finishes and prevent future issues. The original source of the penetrating moisture had previously been addressed, which is important.
The Work Carried Out
- Full-height removal of affected wall plaster as required
- Installation of a two-part bonded internal damp-proof membrane system
- Plasterboarding of the treated areas
- Skimming to achieve a smooth, high-quality finish
- Reinstallation of the original coving on a like-for-like basis
The Result
The damp issue was successfully treated, leaving the area fully protected against future moisture ingress. The room was restored to a clean, smooth finish and left ready for decoration, with the original coving reinstated to maintain the character of the space.
This approach ensures a long-lasting solution while minimising disruption and delivering a professional, high-quality finish for the homeowner.
