Protect Your Property from Damp, Mould, and Moisture Problems
Rising Damp
Spotted tide marks, peeling paint, or damp patches at the base of your walls? Rising damp is caused by moisture travelling up from the ground. If left untreated, it can weaken masonry and damage your home’s structure. Quick, professional treatment is essential to prevent long-term issues.
Penetrating Damp
Cracks in brickwork, faulty gutters, or leaks in your roof can let water soak through external walls, leading to penetrating damp. Our specialists locate and repair the source of the problem, stopping further water intrusion and helping prevent mould growth and internal damage.
Condensation Issues
Condensation appears when warm air meets cold surfaces—often on windows, walls, or in corners. Over time, it leads to mould, damp staining, and persistent musty odours. We provide practical solutions, from improving ventilation to applying anti-mould treatments, to keep your home dry, comfortable, and healthy.
Our Damp Proofing Services for Poole and Surrounding Areas
Injection Damp Proof Course (DPC)
This effective treatment targets rising damp by injecting a specialised damp-proofing fluid into affected walls, forming a protective barrier that stops moisture from rising up through the structure.
Basement & Cellar Waterproofing (Tanked Membranes)
We install robust waterproof membranes in basements and cellars, safeguarding these vulnerable spaces from penetrating damp and transforming them into dry, functional areas.
Condensation & Moisture Control
To combat condensation, we fit advanced ventilation systems designed to manage humidity and prevent moisture build-up—keeping your home fresh, healthy, and free from condensation-related issues.
Immaculate, efficient service, it wasn’t a big deal for Luke and his team. Keep up the Good work. Highly recommended.
Nathan and Kris were on time, professional and got the job done as quick as possible without missing a spot. Would highly recommend.
I was very please with the work the company has done. I had damp throughout the house so had damp-proofing including an injection of damp course. Given the extent of the job they completed the work efficiently and with minimum disruption. The workmen were always polite and very helpful. The finished work was excellent. Only time will tell if the damp problem has been sorted but the company made it they would come back to fix any issues. I have no doubt they are true to their word and would recommend them to anyone.
Really found the team to be honest, upfront and very well trained in how to work in peoples homes. Great work. Regards J.
I spoke to Jack on the phone, who was very friendly and professional. Then James performed our survey. I found James and the experience with the Home Building & Surveying Company very refreshing, compared to others I have used in the past. They were very honest in their assessment and responses, with no hidden extras, providing very valuable advice. I am, and will in the future recommend them to anyone with damp challenges.
Spoke to a very polite and friendly chap called Jack on the phone who explained all about the exterior painting they do, and I decided to have a survey. The surveyor Stuart was very knowledgeable, and I’ve decided to go ahead with them. There’s too many cowboys out there, so it’s nice to see such professionalism from a company for once.
Great company from initial call to completion. Gave quote with no hidden extras, started and finished on time – the finished product looks great. Kris & Nathan were stars of the show, arrived on time, worked hard all day, polite and personable, cleaned up when finished, a credit to the company.
Booked in quickly and survey was much more in depth then expected. Felt very comfortable in our decision and was a notch above the rest.
Very happy with the work Home Building carried out at my property, very knowledge, competitive and friendly. Thanks for the hard work of your installers too they did a great job! Thanks again
Good lads, grafted hard and done a good job.
The Home Building & Surveying Company were excellent in all departments – professional, reliable, well-informed. They resolved multiple residential issues with minimal fuss and would definitely use them again, though fingers crossed I shouldn’t need to!
“I am very pleased with the work done from the initial survey to completion of the damp treatment. I would like to particularly commend Josh & Joe as a team they were courteous, efficient & professional in their workmanship”
“Thanks to Franky, Daniel & Sonny for all their hard work. They have worked beyond expectation”
Had a meeting with their surveyor Andrew yesterday 15/02/2022. I have to say he was very professional. Very happy with the quote we have been given and hoping to go ahead with the work early summer. I can’t wait to see the finished product!
Job well done, new damp course and replastering completed. Paul and Dean were excellent, tidy and kept me updated throughout.
Excellent work, professional team, left clean and tidy. Very impressed with the work.
“The overall improvement is brilliant and the installation team were first class!”
Excellent customer service! James did a very thorough survey and identified a small breach in the tanking in the basement (not fitted by them) He was very knowledgeable and did his very best to find an ‘economical’ solution. He was very honest and I was able to conclude that at this point the cost of repair far outweighed the benefits gained. Should the situation change I would definitely use them.
Great work on a damp proof course and other bits and pieces. Arrived on time and knew exactly what to do. Leagues above the other quotes. Hope I don’t need you again but would be happy to recommend.
Really impressed with the guys and all their effort, the building looks like new and the guttering finishes it off nicely. cheers
Lee & Mason did the work on our property and we found them to be very polite, professional and clean ..wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
“First class job done by two great tradesmen!”
