The damp we deal with

## The cause is diagnosed before anything is treated
Most failed damp work fails because the wrong problem was treated. Every job starts with a free survey so the right system is specified from the outset.

### Rising damp
Tide marks, blown plaster and salting at skirting level, caused by a failed or missing damp proof course. We confirm the cause first, then install an accredited system and replaster.

### Penetrating damp
Patches that worsen after rain, usually traced to defective pointing, render, gutters or roof details. We correct the defect and treat the affected wall.

### Below-ground water
Damp cellars and basements that need proper structural waterproofing rather than a coat of paint. Membrane and cementitious tanking systems to suit the structure.

Services

## Specialist damp work and the building work that completes it

### Rising damp treatment
Diagnosis of failed or missing damp proof courses, then treatment using Sovereign and Wykamol systems and replastering to a durable finish.

View service

### Penetrating damp treatment
Tracing water ingress through walls, pointing, rendering and roof-level defects, then correcting the cause rather than covering the symptom.

View service

### Damp surveys &amp; diagnosis
Free survey including diagnosis and a written fixed-price quotation, so you know exactly what is wrong and what it costs to put right.

View service

### Structural waterproofing &amp; tanking
Below-ground rooms need a waterproofing system, not a coat of damp-seal paint. Membrane and cementitious tanking specified to suit the structure, installed as an approved Sovereign and Wykamol contractor, with a free survey and a fixed price.

View service

### Plastering
Salt-retardant replastering after damp treatment, plus general plastering to a clean, decoration-ready finish.

View service

### Rendering
External rendering and repairs that shed water properly and protect the wall behind it.

View service

### Brickworks &amp; repointing
Open joints and spalled brick faces are the most common route for penetrating damp. We cut out properly, repoint in a mortar matched to your brick, and replace masonry that has broken down.

View service

### Brick stitching
Helical bar stitching to stabilise and repair cracked masonry.

View service

### General building
Broader building works carried out alongside damp and waterproofing, so one contractor sees the job through.

View service

### Small refurbishment &amp; remedial works
Making good after treatment and completing the remedial work that brings a room back into use.

Guarantees

## Two ten-year guarantees, not one
A company guarantee is only as strong as the company behind it. Damp treatment here carries a 10-year workmanship guarantee from us and a separate 10-year insurance-backed guarantee underwritten by QANW, the combination mortgage lenders, surveyors and homebuyers look for.

Tom Charge does not hold PCA, CSRT or CSSW qualifications personally. The accreditation sits with the approved suppliers whose systems are installed: Sovereign and Wykamol carry the relevant industry accreditations, and their accredited products and systems are what the guarantees are built on.

### 10 years: company workmanship
On all damp treatment and remedial work carried out by us.

### 10 years: QANW insurance-backed
Independent insurance-backed guarantee covering the damp treatment.

### 6 months: building work
General workmanship guarantee on building works.

Damp proofing explained

## Damp proofing in London and Middlesex

Damp is the one defect you cannot decorate your way out of. Fresh plaster over an untreated wall blisters again within months, and a surveyor&#x27;s report during a sale will find it regardless. Work that lasts starts with a correct diagnosis: rising damp treatment where the damp proof course has failed, penetrating damp treatment where water enters through defective pointing, render, gutters or roof details, or condensation driven by ventilation and heating. Each has a different remedy.

Our free damp survey covers diagnosis and a written fixed-price quotation. We inspect the affected walls, look for the source rather than the symptom, and explain what we have found in plain language. Nothing is charged for that visit, and there is no obligation to proceed.

How damp is treated+Where a damp proof course has failed, treatment uses accredited Sovereign and Wykamol systems followed by salt-retardant replastering, so the wall can be decorated without the problem reappearing. Where water is coming in from outside, the defect itself is corrected: brickwork and repointing, brick stitching to cracked masonry or external rendering that sheds water properly, before the internal repair is made good. Cellars and basements holding back ground water are treated with structural waterproofing and tanking systems specified to suit the structure.

One contractor, start to finish+Because the business also carries out general building and remedial works and plastering, the job does not stop at the technical treatment. Rooms are put back into usable condition by the same contractor, which removes the gap where homeowners are usually left finding a second trade.

Guarantees and insurance+For anyone selling, buying or remortgaging, the guarantee documentation matters as much as the work. Damp treatment carries a 10-year company workmanship guarantee and a separate 10-year insurance-backed guarantee underwritten by QANW, so cover remains in place independently. Building works carry a 6-month workmanship guarantee. Public liability insurance is held to £2,000,000.

Where we work+We work across London, Middlesex, Watford, Buckinghamshire, Slough, Brent, Surrey, High Wycombe and West London. If you have a damp patch, a failed previous treatment, or a surveyor&#x27;s report asking for specialist attention, request your free survey and we will tell you exactly where you stand.
