Rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation each damage your property in different ways, but they all get worse when ignored. We diagnose the exact cause, fix it at the source, and make sure it stays fixed.
We don’t just cover up damp. We find the root cause and eliminate it permanently.
Rising damp, penetrating damp, and condensation each require completely different treatments. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify the exact source before any work begins, so you only pay for what’s actually needed.
Every damp treatment we carry out comes with a guarantee. We use proven chemical DPCs, specialist renders, and tanking systems that stop moisture returning, not temporary fixes that fail within a year.
Damp treatment often means removing plaster back to the masonry. We don’t leave you with bare walls. We replaster with renovation plaster, skim to a smooth finish, and leave the room ready for decorating.
We quote a fixed price after surveying the problem. No hourly rates, no surprise extras, no hidden charges for materials. The price we quote is the price you pay. Guaranteed.
A proven four-step process that fixes damp at the source.
We visit your property, take moisture readings, and identify the exact type of damp affecting your walls.
Contaminated plaster is removed back to bare masonry. Salts and moisture are cleared to give treatments a clean surface.
Chemical DPC injection, tanking slurry, or waterproof membrane is applied depending on the diagnosis.
Renovation plaster is applied, skimmed smooth, and left ready for painting. The room looks better than before.

“On pricing this job, the customer used an 'experienced tradesman' who used a steamer to remove wallpaper from plasterboard walls and they were removing the jointing tape and the skin from the plasterboard, thus leaving an unlevel surface. I suggested reboarding but they said they didn't have a lot of money to play with. While the 'tradesman' was removing the wallpaper the customer demanded via text that I go that very minute to see what a mess this tradesman was making. While we were working, her husband commented on how we were the best tradesmen they'd had, as we just got on with the job. I'd mistakingly missed out a price for a ceiling, so I skimmed that for no extra charge as the price had already been agreed. (No mention of this was in her review however). We always ask customers to check the work before we leave and both said they were 'over the moon' with the work and they paid via bank transfer a few hours after I'd left. It's clear the 'tradesman' hasn't prepped the newly plastered walls properly, as the paint has now blebbed. That's not a fault with the plastering, but with the lack of preparation on the decorator's behalf. It took 7 days for the customer to let me know she wasn't happy (and that was after the walls had been painted!).”

Checked & Vetted“Dean came out to give me a quote, he knew what needed doing and I was happy with what he quoted. He took down 2 ceilings, replaced them, skimmed and then put up some coving. I can’t fault his work at all, the ceilings look amazing, he left my home clean and tidy. I’d highly recommend. .”
Checked & Vetted“Dean at Absolutely Plastered is the only tradesmen I know that I can rely on! He always responds to requests! In this instance, we wanted some pretty poor brickwork covered at back of house & Dean advised other options that I was not aware...”
