Moisture Protection Specialists
Damp proofing creates effective barriers against water ingress, preventing damage to internal walls and maintaining healthy environments. Our comprehensive solutions address different types of damp issues, from rising moisture to condensation and mould problems.
Understanding Damp Problems
Damp in buildings can manifest as damp patches, damp stains, peeling wallpaper, damaged skirting boards, mould, and more. It’s often caused by issues with the existing damp proof course (DPC), capillary action drawing moisture through solid walls, or poor ventilation creating excess moisture on cold surfaces.
Without proper treatment, damp can lead to serious issues, including black mould and wet or dry rot in timber.
New Innovative Products
At Renlon, we’re constantly developing better solutions for our clients and the properties that we work on. Our innovation has led to the creation of proprietary products that offer significant advantages over traditional methods.
RenStrength is our revolutionary waterproofing system that eliminates the need to remove existing renders. This breakthrough technology applies directly over failed waterproofing systems, significantly reducing project timelines and disruption.
We are also excited to introduce RenTherme…

We offer tailored solutions for all damp issues in both residential and commercial buildings. Our specialists assess interior walls and external wall conditions to determine the appropriate damp treatment.
From installing a remedial damp proof course to applying waterproof barrier systems and improving ventilation, we create effective solutions that provide long-term protection.

FAQs
Here are some common questions about damp proofing. Contact us if you need more specific information for your property.
Contact UsThe most common issues include rising damp (moisture moving up through walls from ground level), penetrating damp (moisture moving horizontally through walls), and condensation (water vapour settling on cold surfaces).
Each requires different approaches, which is why professional assessment is crucial.
Signs of rising damp include tide-mark staining on internal surfaces up to about 1 meter from ground level, damaged plaster, peeling decoration, and damp skirting boards. A musty smell and visible salts on wall surfaces are also indicators.
Our surveyors can confirm the diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
While modern buildings are constructed with damp proof membranes and courses, older buildings often need remedial work. Properties with solid walls (without cavity) are particularly vulnerable.
However, even newer properties can develop damp issues if the original damp proofing fails or if conditions change, such as raised external ground levels compromising the existing damp proof course.
