Damp Proofing Services in Gloucester

Damp usually has a specific cause, whether that's a failed flashing, cracked render, blocked guttering or a gap in the roofline, and treating the symptom without fixing the source rarely lasts. TB Rooflines investigates where water is getting in around the roof, fascias and walls, and carries out the repair or proofing work needed to stop it, covering Bristol, Gloucester and Gloucestershire. This isn't chemical damp course installation for rising damp inside a building, it's about tracking down and dealing with water ingress connected to the roof and exterior of the property.

FAQ

Common Questions

How do you find out where damp is coming from?

It starts with a visual inspection of the roof, flashing, render and guttering, tracing the damp patch back to where water is actually entering. Often the source is some distance from where the damp shows up inside.

Is this the same as rising damp treatment?

No. This covers water ingress connected to the roof, roofline and exterior of the property, such as failed flashing, cracked render or blocked guttering. It's not chemical damp-proof course injection for rising damp.

Will you know straight away what's causing it?

Often yes, but sometimes it takes checking a few possibilities, especially if there's more than one contributing factor. TB Rooflines will be upfront if further investigation is needed before quoting.

Do you cover Gloucester and Gloucestershire for this kind of work too?

Yes, alongside Bristol, Long Ashton, Pill, Bath, Thornbury, Yate, Stoke Gifford, Westbury-on-Trym, Portishead and Keynsham, this covers Gloucester and Gloucestershire.
