Our Services
Damp Proofing
From bubbling paint to cracked plaster and even mould, damp appears in many forms and, if inside your home, can have negative effects on your health, and those with lung-related illnesses will be at even more risk. Besides the fact that it looks terrible when outside, damp will erode plaster, saturate the wall and eventually cause damp internally.
Structural issues, such as damaged guttering, roofing, or wall cracks, are generally the cause of penetrating damp problems. As the building ages, the damp course barrier deteriorates, allowing moisture to rise from the ground up into your walls, which then causes both internal and external damp.
This makes damp proofing essential for ensuring maximum durability and longevity of any building, whether residential, commercial, or industrial.
The most important element in keeping the building strong for a long time is to reduce or maintain the entry of moisture in the building from roofs, floors, or walls. Dampness is usually the presence of moisture in the structure. The dampness reduces the integrity and strength of the structure and creates unhygienic conditions. So, in the construction or designing of buildings, the damp proof course or damp protection is quite necessary. DPC or damp-proof course is the main method to reduce dampness in the structure by restricting the entry of moisture in the structure.
Damp occurs when there is excess unwanted moisture in the air that has no way of escaping. Excess moisture can be caused by steam when cooking, drying clothes inside the home, and perspiration caused through showering and bathing. Any building or plumbing problems that allow water/moisture into the property can lead to damp problems. The most common factors that allow moisture into a property include poor ventilation, a leaking roof, failed damp proof course, and plumbing problems such as a leaking washing machine or dishwasher.
Waterproofing
As specialists in waterproofing, we ensure our clients homes and commercial properties are well protected from the elements to ensure healthy and strong buildings. Water damage in a home is a nightmare as it ruins belongings, causes health issues and can jeopardize the structural integrity of your home in the long term.Internal waterproofing of areas such as underground basements, can be vital in preventing water from being absorbed into the walls and creeping into the rest of your home.
Maintain your property and protect your valuables by ensuring your roof is watertight. This, without a doubt, is a priority for what is your shelter.
At Damp Excel we cover all roofs, whether tiled or flat concrete, in order to prevent unnecessary water leaks. Have an emergency or looking for a complete roof seal? Whatever your need, we have you covered.
For any construction it is important to have the right waterproofing solutions to protect the building. If the waterproofing is done poorly, it can lead to damage of property and valuables, and to risk for human health. It is wiser to invest in preventive risk measures than to pay for damage repairs. Any building requires regular maintenance to protect it from damage caused by water, roof waterproofing is an effective preventive measure. Repair of a building damaged by water can be very expensive, especially reinforced concrete buildings subjected to corrosion.
- Construction projects may suffer structural damage due to poor or insufficient waterproofing of the roof and concrete.
- Cracks in the foundation or joints exposing to water can lead to more serious structural problems, including leaks, spalling, and deterioration.
- Mold growth is also a common waterproofing problem that is difficult to correct. It is also a health hazard. Exposure to this can lead to allergies, asthma, irritation, and fungal infections.

The roof is one of the most important parts in any building, acting as the first line of defense from all environmental hazards. Roofs have evolved over the years, with pitched roofs often associated with a more classical appearance. That said, the truth is that they remain the most common and efficient solution to ensure maximum protection.
There is a wide range of roofing tiles with sustainable credentials, and solar panels are easily and efficiently integrated within the structure of a pitched roofs.
Most people don’t really think about the roof over their heads until it springs a leak! Don’t wait until water is pouring through the ceiling and you have to break out the buckets to pay attention to your roof.
Knowing when a roof was installed (and what it’s made of) offers insight into how much life it has left. For instance, a typical asphalt shingle roof lasts 20 to 25 years, while a roof installed over an existing layer of shingles should be replaced after 20 years.
