Damp can cause serious damage to a building’s structure, appearance, and long-term value, especially in older or below-ground properties. At Apex Lofts & Construction, we offer professional damp proofing solutions that protect your property from moisture-related issues and provide lasting peace of mind.
We specialise in tackling damp in more complex environments, including basements, cellars, and heritage properties. These spaces often require tailored solutions that account for age, materials, and environmental conditions.
Whether you’re dealing with visible signs of rising damp, water ingress from the outside, or excess moisture and condensation indoors, our experienced team can identify the source and apply the appropriate remedy.
Every job begins with a comprehensive assessment. We survey the affected areas and use moisture readings and inspection methods to determine the type and extent of the damp issue.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for damp. We tailor each treatment plan to suit the construction type, location, and severity of the problem.
All work is carried out by skilled professionals to a high standard of workmanship. Once complete, we provide the appropriate guarantees so you can move forward with confidence.
Moisture travelling up through walls from the ground, often due to failed or missing damp proof courses. Common in older buildings.
Water ingress through external walls, roofs, or structural defects, often worsened by poor maintenance or exposure to the elements.
Often caused by poor ventilation or insulation, condensation can lead to mould, damp patches, and health concerns.
Below-ground spaces are particularly vulnerable to lateral damp and water ingress. We offer targeted protection to make these areas dry and usable.
From loft conversions to full refurbishments, we help you make the most of your home’s space, flow and value, with solutions designed around how you live.
With decades of hands-on experience and a West Sussex base, we’ve transformed countless homes and commercial spaces throughout the region.
Our in-house team and specialist partners deliver high-quality results backed by a commitment to compliance, attention to detail, and long-term performance.
We carry out an in-depth inspection to identify the root cause of damp, using moisture detection tools and visual checks to assess the severity and affected areas.
Based on our findings, we provide a clear explanation of the issue and propose a tailored solution that addresses the specific cause and type of damp.
You’ll receive a detailed quotation and breakdown of the required work, with everything clearly outlined before we begin.
Our team carries out the treatment using industry-proven methods suited to the property type and condition, ensuring the highest standard of work throughout.
Once the work is complete, we conduct final checks and provide clear advice on aftercare, maintenance, and any ventilation or structural improvements that may help prevent future issues.
Should you have any questions after the work is completed, we’re here to help. Our ongoing support ensures your property continues to benefit from effective damp protection.
If you’ve noticed signs of damp in your home or commercial property, don’t wait for it to get worse. Speak with Apex Lofts & Construction to arrange a survey or consultation with a member of our team.
Common signs include peeling paint or wallpaper, musty smells, black mould, salt deposits on walls, or damp patches that don’t dry out. If you notice any of these symptoms, a professional survey can help identify the cause and appropriate solution.
Period homes often lack modern damp proof courses or insulation, making them more vulnerable to rising damp, condensation, and penetrating moisture through solid brick or stone walls. We specialise in treating damp in older and character properties while preserving their integrity.
Not always. While a damp proof course may help in cases of rising damp, other forms, such as condensation or penetrating damp, require different approaches. We assess the cause before recommending a treatment.
Generally, no. Most damp proofing work is considered internal maintenance. However, if your property is listed or in a conservation area, you may need listed building consent. We’ll advise on any permissions required during the survey stage.
This depends on the type of damp and the size of the area affected. Some treatments can be completed in a few days, while more extensive basement or structural works may take longer. We provide a project timeline as part of our proposal.
Yes. We regularly work in below-ground environments where lateral moisture and poor drainage cause persistent damp problems. We offer effective solutions to keep these areas dry, usable, and protected long-term.
It can help, but condensation is usually a ventilation or insulation issue. We assess the root cause and can recommend additional improvements such as passive ventilation or changes in heating strategy to reduce moisture buildup.
In most cases, yes. We aim to minimise disruption and carry out work as efficiently and safely as possible. If an area needs to be isolated during treatment, we’ll advise you in advance and plan accordingly.
Our treatments are designed for long-term protection and include recommendations to prevent future moisture issues. Like any building system, effectiveness also depends on ongoing maintenance and ventilation, which we will advise on post-installation.
Yes. We provide appropriate guarantees for our work depending on the treatment type and scope. This gives you peace of mind that your property is protected well into the future.
