About Somerset Damp Solutions
Hi, I'm the specialist behind Somerset Damp Solutions, based in Bridgwater and covering the wider Somerset area. I diagnose and treat all kinds of damp — from rising damp in Victorian terraces to water ingress in basements — and every job starts the same way: a thorough survey to find the actual cause, not just the visible effect.
Too many homeowners have already paid someone to treat the symptoms — a coat of waterproof paint, a dehumidifier — only for the problem to come back. I work differently. I use calibrated diagnostic methods to establish whether you're dealing with rising damp, penetrating damp, condensation or a combination, and I give you an honest written assessment before any work is agreed.
Once the survey is done, you'll get a clear fixed written quote — no vague estimates, no surprises on the final bill. The work is carried out cleanly and tidily, and it comes with a workmanship guarantee so you have genuine peace of mind. If you're worried about damp, give me a call and I'll come and take a look — no obligation, no pressure.
What We Do
I identify and treat genuine rising damp at its source, installing a new damp proof course where needed so the problem doesn't return.
Rain-driven moisture through walls or rooflines needs the right fix — I trace the exact entry point and remedy it properly.
For below-ground spaces and retaining walls, I apply structural waterproofing systems that reliably hold back ground water.
A thorough survey establishes the true cause of your damp — so you get the right treatment, not an unnecessary one.
Where damp has affected joists, beams or flooring, I treat and protect the timber so it stays structurally sound long-term.
Persistent condensation and black mould are often misdiagnosed — I identify the real cause and recommend a lasting solution.
How It Works
I come to you, assess the affected areas carefully and identify the actual cause of the damp — at no cost and with no obligation to proceed.
You get a clear written explanation of the problem and a fixed price for the work, so you can decide in your own time with no pressure.
Treatment is carried out to a high standard, cleanly and on schedule, using the right materials for your specific damp issue.
The completed work is covered by a workmanship guarantee, and I'm always available if you have questions or concerns afterwards.
