FAQs – Damp Proofing & Plastering Services Hertfordshire & Essex
A damp proof course is a barrier installed within the walls of a building to prevent moisture from rising up from the ground. It typically involves the insertion of a physical barrier (such as a layer of slate or a plastic membrane) or the application of a chemical treatment that repels water.
While many damp proofing and plastering tasks can be performed year-round, extreme weather conditions (such as heavy rain or freezing temperatures) may affect the application process. Our team will assess the conditions and schedule the work during the most suitable time to ensure optimal results.
Damp proofing costs vary depending on the type of damp, property size, and the method used. On average, a chemical damp proof course costs can start to around £100 per linear metre, while extensive treatments like membranes or structural repairs can cost a lot more.

Damp issues can be caused by several factors, including leaking pipes, broken or missing gutters and downpipes, poor ventilation, inadequate drainage systems and structural problems such as cracked roofs or missing roof tiles. Identifying and addressing the root cause is crucial for effective damp proofing.
Common signs of damp issues include wet patches or stains on walls and ceilings, a musty smell, peeling paint or wallpaper, flaking plaster and visible mould growth. If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to contact us for an assessment.
Damp proof plaster prevents salts from migrating to the wall surface, reducing the risk of salt contamination. It also raises the temperature of the wall, which helps prevent condensation and mould growth. Additionally, damp proof plaster is more breathable and dries faster than traditional plaster, enhancing overall wall protection.
