Dampcoursing Ltd. © 2010

Eradication of dry rot is a specialist task that needs to follow strict operating criteria. Dampcoursing’s expertise in this field is second-to-none.

Prior to the commencement of any specialist treatment, the affected area is fully exposed before a second survey takes place. Dry rot is caused by moisture, the source of which must be identified and rectified as soon as practicably possible.

Initially, we concentrate on ensuring the rapid drying of any damp masonry prior to reinstatement work, and taking measures to ensure this damp never reoccurs.

All concealed and embedded timber surfaces adjacent to an outbreak - including timber lintels, bressummers, trimmers and adjacent concealed joinery surfaces - are then exposed and examined for the presence of dry rot.

Any plaster that has been removed is replaced using the DR5 Internal Render system.

In the interests of customer and operative safety, the company will not use preparations containing Pentachlorophenol (PCP), Lindane, and Tributyltin Oxide (TBTO).

These chemicals have been replaced with Permethrin and Boron-based preparations which have been approved by the Nature Conservancy Council and other environmental groups.

While these materials are more expensive, the company absorbs the extra cost, and does not pass it on to the client.
