Damp Proofing Services in Alfreton
Rising Damp Treatment in Alfreton
Rising damp is particularly common in older Alfreton properties where existing damp proof courses have failed or were never installed. Homes in areas like Riddings, Leabrooks, and South Normanton often show signs of ground moisture travelling up through walls, damaging plaster, paintwork, and timber.
Our rising damp solutions in Alfreton include:
- Chemical damp proof course DPC & damp proof membrane Installation -We install an injected damp proof course that forms a protective barrier inside the masonry, halting moisture movement in its tracks.
- Salt-Neutralising Replastering -Once damp is treated, we remove affected plaster and restore your walls using breathable, salt-resistant systems.
- Floor & Skirting Repairs -In homes across Somercotes and Ironville, we frequently replace moisture-damaged timbers and apply protective treatments to prolong skirting boards and other structural integrity.
- Ventilation Improvements -To reduce internal humidity and accelerate drying, we assess and improve airflow throughout your Alfreton property.

- External Waterproofing -We apply breathable water-repellent coatings that protect the external façade of Alfreton properties while allowing trapped moisture to escape.
- Guttering, Roof & Chimney Fixes -From blocked gutters in Swanwick to cracked flashing in Riddings, we carry out essential maintenance to prevent water ingress.
- Internal Remedial Work -We strip away damp plaster with salt deposits, allow for full drying, and restore your walls to a clean, dry, finish.

- Cavity Drain Membranes -These systems channel water safely behind internal surfaces and into drainage systems. Perfect for dry storage or habitable conversions.

- Quiet and efficient performance
PIV systems are particularly effective in homes with modern insulation and sealed windows where natural ventilation is restricted.
