Service overview
Water sealing starts with a sound wall
A masonry treatment should not be used to cover cracked joints, leaking gutters or defective flashings. Those faults must be diagnosed and repaired first so water is not trapped behind a coating or diverted elsewhere.
Where brickwork is sound but unusually exposed, a compatible vapour-permeable treatment can reduce liquid water absorption while still allowing water vapour to escape. We assess the surface, carry out trials where appropriate and explain whether sealing is suitable.

Continued vapour movement
Breathable products allow internal moisture vapour to leave rather than forming a sealed surface.

Targeted protection
Assessment and test application help avoid unnecessary treatment of walls that need another repair instead.
Our process
Careful work from inspection to finish
We assess the property first, explain the suitable approach and complete the work with protection and tidy working practices.
