    Damp Proofing in Leeds

    Leeds is a major city with a rich industrial past and large areas of Victorian housing alongside modern developments. Many older properties were built without a damp-proof course, or any other protection against water ingress, which can make them more susceptible to damp problems and dry rot.

    Our PCA-qualified surveyors diagnose rising damp, penetrating damp, and even condensation-based damp in properties of any age across Leeds and West Yorkshire. Once we confirm the cause, our in house technicians deliver the right fix for your home, including remedial DPC installations for rising damp, wider repairs for penetrating damp and practical ventilation recommendations and improvements for condensation.

    All completed Timberwise damp proof coursing work includes a 20-year company guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind.

    Basement Waterproofing in Leeds

    If your basement or cellar in Leeds floods or feels damp, our waterproofing design specialists can help with BS 8102:2022 compliant solutions. We have designed, installed and maintained basement waterproofing systems in Leeds and West Yorkshire for years, specialising in Type A Waterproofing (Tanking), and Type C Waterproofing (Cavity drainage systems), with pumps, alarms and ongoing maintenance plans available for dependable year-round protection.

    All completed basement waterproofing installations from Timberwise carry a 10 year company guarantee, and we tailor designs for residential and commercial spaces with quick turnarounds and minimal disruption, all in line with the latest PCA guidance.
