Damp proofing is a poor investment before an accurate survey.
If you’ve discovered a damp patch in your home, you might think you need a specialist damp proofing firm. But in many cases, what you actually need is a skilled, honest handyman who understands how buildings work.
At The Welsh Handyman Company, we don’t sell expensive chemical “damp proofing” injections. We provide the practical, common-sense repairs that stop moisture from entering your home in the first place.
Small Fixes, Big Results
Most damp issues in Bridgend and South Wales aren’t caused by “rising damp”—they are caused by simple maintenance failures. A “free survey” from a damp proofing company will often overlook these simple issues in favor of selling you a £3,000 plastic membrane.
We focus on the real causes:
- Leaking Gutters & Downpipes: The #1 cause of damp walls in Wales.
- External Sealant Failure: Cracked seals around windows and doors.
- Minor Pointing Repairs: Fixing the small gaps where driving rain gets in.
- Ventilation Installs: Fitting moisture-pulling fans to stop black mold.
Guided by The Veteran Survey Company
We don’t guess where the water is coming from. To ensure your money is spent wisely, we work closely with The Veteran Survey Company. – Home – The Veteran Survey Company
They provide the PCA and ABBE qualified scientific diagnosis. If their survey identifies that your “damp” is actually just a blocked gutter or a slipped slate, The Welsh Handyman Company steps in to fix it with veteran-led precision. This synergy saves our clients thousands of pounds on unnecessary “damp proofing” treatments.
