Rising damp identification and treatment
Rising damp occurs when moisture moves upward through brickwork due to a failed or missing damp-proof course. It can lead to staining, peeling paint, and damaged plaster within a property. We carry out treatment when these signs appear, as addressing the issue early helps prevent ongoing deterioration and further structural damage.
Gunn Timber Preservation also supports related moisture issues through condensation control, helping reduce conditions that can contribute to recurring damp problems. Contact us to arrange an inspection and discuss suitable treatment options.
Penetrating damp detection and repair
Penetrating damp develops when water enters through external defects such as cracks in walls, damaged masonry, or roofing issues. It often presents as damp patches, mould growth, or internal surface damage. We provide this service when moisture becomes visible indoors, helping to prevent further spread and protect internal finishes from recurring damage.
Wet rot and dry rot identification and treatment
Wet rot and dry rot are forms of timber decay caused by prolonged exposure to moisture. Wet rot tends to remain localised, while dry rot can spread through timber and surrounding areas, affecting larger sections of a property. We carry out treatment when timber shows signs such as softness, cracking, or fungal growth, helping protect structural integrity and prevent further deterioration.
