Rising damp is one of the most common moisture problems affecting older properties, often causing damaged plaster, peeling wallpaper, mould growth and deterioration of internal finishes. Left untreated, it can also affect structural timbers and lead to more extensive repairs. At CPM Joinery & Timber Preservation, we provide professional rising damp treatment that identifies the source of the problem before delivering effective long-term solutions. With over 20 years of experience, we help homeowners, landlords and commercial property owners throughout Ayrshire, including Girvan, Maybole, Ayr, Prestwick, Troon, Kilmarnock, Glasgow and the surrounding areas.
Treating rising damp successfully requires more than simply repairing damaged plaster or redecorating affected rooms. Moisture must first be prevented from travelling through the walls before any internal repairs are completed. Our experienced specialists carefully inspect your property, confirm whether rising damp is present and recommend the most appropriate treatment based on the condition of the building.
Once the source has been identified, we carry out professional remedial work designed to control moisture movement, protect the structure of your property and restore affected areas. By resolving the underlying issue rather than masking the symptoms, we provide lasting protection and help prevent future damp-related problems.
Not every damp problem is rising damp. We carry out thorough inspections to accurately diagnose the source of moisture, ensuring the correct treatment is recommended from the very beginning.
Our focus is on providing lasting solutions rather than temporary repairs. By preventing moisture from rising through walls, we help protect your property from further damage and unnecessary future costs.
From initial diagnosis through to complete remedial work, we provide professional rising damp solutions tailored to the condition and construction of your property.
We inspect walls, floors and internal finishes to identify signs of rising damp, assess the extent of moisture penetration and determine the most suitable treatment for your property.
Once rising damp has been confirmed, we carry out professional damp proofing treatments designed to stop moisture rising through masonry and protect the long-term condition of your building.
Following successful damp treatment, we restore affected walls by repairing damaged plaster and preparing surfaces ready for redecoration, helping return your property to its best condition.
