BAR Preservation provide damp proof specialist surveys and strategic repairs to homes & buildings with damp problems.
Our surveyors have the specific qualifications, skills and experience to inspect and rectify all forms of damp; they are all Certified Surveyors for Remedial Treatments (CSRT).
A qualified Surveyor will visit your property to carry out a full damp survey and undertake an extensive investigation into the cause of dampness within the building.
Once the problem(s) have been identified our Surveyor will provide a full written report listing the defects, explaining the recommended repairs required and providing a cost for our trained specialist technicians to carry out the work.
Our homes and all other types of buildings which were constructed using timber for floors, wall and roof structures are susceptible to attack from decay and infestation under certain circumstances.
The most common problems we find in our homes and buildings are due to wet rot and dry rot often triggered by a defect, poor design or a lack of maintenance.
Our surveyors have the specific qualifications, skills and experience to inspect and rectify timber decay; they are all Certified Surveyors for Remedial Treatments (CSRT).
A wall tie is a steel bar, strap or twisted wire which is built into a double skin or cavity wall to hold the masonry together; usually made of mild steel.
Wall ties are crucial to the stability of external walls.
Any building with cavity walls built prior to 1981, an estimated 10 million dwellings, could be prone to wall tie corrosion and failure.
If the steel of a wall tie is exposed to air and oxygen, the all too familiar rusting cycle begins.
The loss, by rusting and corrosion, of the wall tie is one problem but the other major consideration is the increased volume of the steel, causing mortar to split and lift.
Condensation is probably the most common type of dampness in buildings.
Condensation can cause mould growth on walls, ceilings, curtains and clothing and can lead to peeling wallpaper and many other problems.
Insufficient ventilation, poor heating, lack of insulation, lifestyle and multi-occupancy, such as student accommodation, are commonly result in cases of condensation.
Flats and bungalows are especially prone to condensation problems being constructed in one storey without the benefit of a greater circulation of air through the staircase.
