Damp proofing.

Damp-proof injection across Hull and East Yorkshire for homeowners, landlords and businesses. We install a new chemical damp-proof course using a damp-proof cream injected into the wall, then re-plaster internally over a damp-proof backing so rising damp is stopped at the base of the wall and the room is left ready to decorate.

What's included

Damp Proofing, covered as standard.

Damp-Proof Cream Injection

A new chemical damp-proof course installed by injecting damp-proof cream into a line of holes along the base of the wall. The cream spreads through the brick and cures into a water-repellent barrier that stops rising damp moving up the wall.

Internal Backing & Re-Plaster

Once the cream is in, the old salt-damaged plaster is hacked off and a damp-proof backing membrane is fixed to the wall, then re-plastered up to roughly a metre high and left ready for decoration once it has dried out.

External Injection

We also inject from the outside where the job calls for it, treating the wall from the external face so solid walls and awkward access are covered without tearing the inside of the room apart.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

What is damp-proof cream injection?

It is the modern way to install a damp-proof course. A water-repellent cream is injected into a row of holes along the base of the wall, where it spreads through the brickwork and cures into a barrier that stops rising damp travelling up the wall. It is cleaner and more controllable than the older pressure-injected liquids.

Do you re-plaster after the injection?

Yes. The salt-damaged plaster is hacked off, a damp-proof backing is fixed to the wall and we re-plaster up to about a metre high, leaving it ready to decorate once it has dried out. One team handles the injection and the making good, so there is no gap between trades.

Can you inject from outside?

Yes. As well as internal work we carry out external injection, treating the wall from the outside face where that suits the property better, so we can deal with solid walls and tricky access without stripping out the inside of the room.
