Damp Proofing Specialist Bridport
Bridport is known for its characterful cottages, historic townhouses, and solid-walled period buildings — all of which require a specialist approach to damp and timber issues. At Bramley & Stone, we provide expert surveys, heritage-safe treatments, and guaranteed repairs throughout Bridport, West Bay, Bothenhampton, Symondsbury, and Powerstock.
We’re not a general contractor — we’re preservation specialists focused solely on damp proofing, timber decay treatment, and structural repairs in older homes.
Common Damp Issues in Bridport Homes
20 Year Guarantee
Many Bridport homes suffer from rising damp, penetrating damp, or internal condensation due to:
-
Solid brick or stone construction
-
Cement render trapping moisture
-
Poor rainwater drainage and failed pointing
-
Inappropriate modern plasterwork
We use breathable systems including lime plastering, cavity clearance, and BBA-certified chemical DPCs to provide long-term protection against damp — without compromising the home’s integrity.
What Problems Do Our Bridport Damp Experts Cover?
Rising Damp Surveys & Treatments in Bridport
Rising damp is often misdiagnosed — and just injecting a DPC won’t fix the issue unless the internal plasterwork and any bridging materials are also addressed.
Our process includes:
-
Moisture and salt testing using calibrated meters
-
External inspection for bridging issues
-
Full specification including plaster removal and breathable reinstatement
-
Use of Permagard-approved systems only
Timber Decay and Woodworm Treatment in Bridport
Bridport’s older buildings often feature suspended timber floors, exposed beams, and cellar joists — all of which are vulnerable to:
-
Wet rot from rising damp and poor ventilation
-
Dry rot in hidden voids or behind skirtings
-
Woodworm, especially in untreated pine and oak
We provide full timber inspections with moisture profiling, decay analysis, and targeted Biokil treatments, all with long-term warranties.
