Our Specialist Works

If you’re in need of expert damp proofing assistance, Danford Brewer & Ives is here to help. Our experienced team of licenced damp proofing specialists provides a full range of services to customers across Yorkshire, Teesside and the North East.

Our friendly staff are ready to help at every stage in the process, from your initial email or phone call right through to property surveys, repair work and guaranteed aftercare. As part of our damp-proofing services, we provide a range of specialist works, including cavity wall tie replacements, wet and dry rot treatments, and damp and timber surveys.

Our expertise isn’t limited to damp proofing, either. Our team can design and build basement conversions, carry out structural maintenance and recommend energy-saving measures. We work on both residential and commercial properties, and we’re ready to assist with your project.

Our specialist works include:

Damp Proofing

We can provide expert damp proofing measures to keep your home fully protected against the unwanted effects of rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation. If you are experiencing damp issues, our team can isolate the cause of the problem, identify the type of damp, and carry out effective treatments. We can also provide waterproofing treatments, such as installing damp-proof membranes, to ensure the problem won’t return.

Basement Conversions

If you’ve got an underutilised cellar space below your home, the basement conversion team at Danford Brewer & Ives can design and build a fully functional extension to your property. We provide expertise at every stage of the project, from the initial basement survey and design to the interior decoration and finish. Even if you don’t have a cellar space, we may be able to extend beneath the foundations to create a brand new basement below ground level.

Wet and Dry Rot

Wet and dry rot are both serious problems that affect the timbers and woodwork within a home. If left untreated, wet and dry rot can spread throughout your home with the potential to cause serious structural damage. Our teams can identify the source of wet or dry rot in a home, before applying the necessary treatments or carrying out the repair work needed to keep your property safe from further damage.

Woodworm

Woodworm eat their way through timbers and woodwork, feeding off the cellulose and slowly working their way through your home. If left untreated, woodworm can cause timbers to decay, leaving your home structurally weakened. Our specialists can identify the type of woodworm afflicting your home, and provide a range of woodworm treatments.

Cavity Wall Tie Replacement

Cavity wall ties are used to hold inner and outer sections of a wall together, but over time they can corrode, break or fail. If this happens, walls can buckle, masonry can be damaged and the structure of a home can be compromised. We provide a cavity wall tie replacement service that ensures your building is safe, secure and protected.

Damp and Timber Survey

If you suspect your home has damp or timber issues, our team can carry out a full inspection of the property. Our surveyors will identify any existing issues and provide recommendations for treatment and waterproofing, as well as expert advice to keep your home damp free in the future.

Our damp and timber surveys can also be combined with more detailed building surveys or homebuyer reports.

Building Works

We can consult on and carry out a wide range of additional building works on both commercial and residential properties. We regularly carry out structural maintenance, provide retail building services, and install waterproof tanking systems for clients.
