About This Service
About Our Damp Proofing Service
Damp is one of the most misdiagnosed problems in UK properties. Not every damp patch is rising damp and not every mouldy wall needs a chemical injection. We start with a proper survey using moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify the actual cause. It might be a failed damp-proof course, but it could also be a leaking gutter, condensation from poor ventilation, or a blocked air brick. We diagnose first, then treat the real problem.

Why Hurrell
Why Choose Hurrell for Damp Proofing
The damp proofing industry has a reputation for over-selling chemical treatments. We're building maintenance specialists first - damp treatment is just one part of what we do. That means we have no incentive to recommend chemical injection when the real solution is fixing a gutter or improving ventilation. We give honest assessments, recommend the most cost-effective solution and carry out the full repair including replastering and redecoration.

Our Expertise
Types of Damp and Their Solutions
Rising damp occurs when the damp-proof course fails and moisture wicks up from the ground. We treat this with DPC injection - drilling and injecting a chemical barrier at the base of the wall. Penetrating damp comes from external water ingress - cracked render, leaking gutters, or poor pointing. We fix the source and repair the damage. Condensation results from moisture-laden air hitting cold surfaces. We improve ventilation, insulate cold spots and address the root cause rather than just treating symptoms.
