Damp Proofing

Universal Painters

Damp & Weatherproof Solutions

Universal Painters specialises in weatherproofing solutions for your home and the repairs of damaged walls whether they suffer from damp or moisture problems.

Almost all buildings and structures that are exposed to the elements will be prone to water ingress at some time in the future.

If this water ingress is left unchecked it can cause severe damage to the property, possibly causing structural failure, and thus leading to major repair costs for the owner. Damp proofing products are used for the prevention and control of water ingress into a structure. We have specialist solutions that will keep water out of masonry and protect the walls by keeping them dry and warm.

The special colourless formulation penetrates deeply into the masonry, where it forms a UV-resistant and water-repellent barrier that still lets the walls breathe naturally.

Universal Painters are your first choice for local quality workmanship. Contact us today for exterior wall specialists throughout London, Hertfordshire, and Buckinghamshire, including Ruislip, Watford, Kingston upon Thames, Twickenham, Northwood, Pinner, Potters Bar, Middlesex, and all surrounding areas.

Alternatively we have a stearate-based external water repellent for brick, stone, and concrete, that acts as an impregnable barrier to penetrating rainwater but allows underlying dampness to dry out and the wall to “breathe”.

Without adequate damp proofing a building or structure will naturally deteriorate due to one or a combination of the following effects…

Damp walls
Causing de-bonding and deterioration of decorated surfaces

Condensation
Leading to the unhealthy spread of mould and rots

Timber decay & wood rot
Wet and dry rot which could lead to structural failure

Structural deterioration
The fabric of the building can deteriorate to a point where it needs major costly repair work to make it fit for its intended purpose.

Whether this water ingress is above or below ground, we have a wide range of damp proofing and chemical DPC products to protect against or to cure these problems…

Rising damp Chemical damp proofing products for injection into masonry to create a new chemical DPC and stop rising damp. Also damp proofing membranes, waterproofing additives, and pre-mixed renders to be applied onto the walls after the new chemical DPC has been inserted.

Penetrating damp Chemical damp proofing products include silicone water repellents, damp proof paint, waterproofing membranes, and all forms of damp proofing products that externally protect the structure from water penetrating into the substrate of the building.

As exterior wall repair experts we also provide our clients with a number of preventative exterior damp wall solutions including formulated exterior coatings, silicone rendering, and various other types of exterior installations.
