Damp proofing across central Scotland

Guarding against rising damp is imperative for the long term health of any building. At Maintenance & Building Preservation Ltd, we are experts at providing damp proofing to combat the risk of rising damp.

Rising damp occurs because materials such as stone and brick are naturally porous and therefore absorb moisture through capillaries. This can usually be prevented from harming a building's structural integrity by ensuring that a damp proof course is intact.

The threat of woodworm

Woodworm is a wood-boring infestation that can attack hard or soft woods and can cause extensive damage if not treated. There are several types of woodworm, including the common furniture beetle and wood-boring weevils.

As woodworm is a common problem in Scotland, the team at Maintenance & Building Preservation Ltd are highly experienced at identifying, eradicating and safeguarding against future infestation.
