structural waterproofing & Damp Proofing in South London & Surrey
my name is matthew and i am a structural waterproofing and damp proofing contractor
I’ve worked in structural waterproofing for over 12 years, after working as an electrician for 8. I understand how important it is to keep your property structurally sound and I also know how worrying it can feel when you discover damp or mould in your home.
Let me begin by clearing up a common concern: damp and mould are not always the same thing.
Damp is usually a structural issue—caused by a leak, a failed damp proof course (DPC), or another form of water ingress. When moisture penetrates brickwork or plaster, it evaporates into the warmer room air, leaving behind damp patches or salts.
Mould, on the other hand, is more often a behavioural issue. Rooms that trap warm air will see condensation form on colder external walls. These damp, stagnant areas then become ideal breeding grounds for mould spores.
The good news is that both problems have solutions. By improving airflow and ventilation, you can reduce condensation and the chance of mould forming. By repairing leaks, installing a newdpc, waterproofing the walls if below ground level or carrying out other essential maintenance, we can reduce water ingress and allow your walls to breathe and dry naturally.
Many homeowners are told they have “damp” without knowing the cause. I start with a proper survey — moisture profiling, salt testing and visual inspection — so we treat the source not the symptom. Whether it’s rising damp, penetrating water or condensation, I provide a clear report and a repair plan you can trust.
I’ve worked in structural waterproofing for more than 12 years, after 8 years as an electrician. That background gave me a practical understanding of how moisture travels through a building — from services and subfloors to walls and roofs.
Over the years, I’ve treated hundreds of homes for rising damp, water ingress, and condensation problems, always following the guidance of the Property Care Association (PCA) and British Standards BS 8102 (structural waterproofing) and BS 6576 (damp-proof course installation).
For me, it’s not just about making walls dry — it’s about restoring a building’s ability to breathe naturally while keeping moisture where it belongs: outside.
MY APPROACH
Every job begins with a full moisture survey. I take surface readings, check salt patterns, and trace the path of water through the structure. Once the cause is clear, I design a repair that follows PCA best practice — using compatible materials and breathable finishes.
I believe clear communication is just as important as good workmanship. I’ll explain every step, from assessment to aftercare, so you know exactly what’s happening and why.

VALUES & STANDARDS
