Best Damp Proofing Specialists 2023 – Southeast England Contact: Ross Newham Company: Rosco & Perlini Web Address: https://roscoandperlini.co.uk/ Damp can be caused by a variety of factors, the majority of which can be prevented by good maintenance. Damp problems can occur anywhere that is exposed to moisture – such as rain, external gutters, and water pipes. Rosco & Perlini favour fixing the source of the problem directly, rather than just disguising the issue with waterproof render. The team will then provide a full service from survey to decoration, so clients do not have to worry about employing other traders. There are three types of damp that many be present in a property: penetrating, rising, and condensation damp. Penetrating damp occurs as a result of moisture getting into the property by passing through ceilings, floors, and walls. This is often caused by plumbing defects, leaking roof coverings, or guttering issues, and can cause significant damage to the plaster, timber, and joinery of a property. Rising damp is caused by ground moisture, which can pass through into the masonry unless an effective protective barrier is present. This is common in many older properties, where damp proofing was rarely implemented, or in more recent properties, where damp proofing was provided, but has since become defective over time. As a result of the ground salts contained within the moisture reaching the masonry, it is often required to renew the wall plaster, a service Rosco & Perlini gladly provide. Third is condensation damp, which occurs in more than 20% of homes and is the most common form. It is often found in rooms with poor ventilation, especially if there are frequent temperature changes, and water droplets which appear on walls and windows can lead to the growth of mould and a musty smell. Once the damp problem is fixed, the team at Rosco & Perlini can fix any aesthetic damage, which happened with a recent client of theirs, who was so impressed with the quality of the work he asked them to redecorate the whole room. In addition to damp proofing and decoration, other services the company offer include insurance repairs, timber treatment, plumbing and electrics, modern and period refurbishment, and brickwork, to name just a few. Rosco & Perlini also has an on-going requirement for land or property across London and the Southeast of England that is ripe for development. If a prospective client believes they have a potential development site, the company offers a no-obligation chat, with the land acquisitions team quickly able to assess the sustainability and potential value of a site, and purchases will be considered either subject to planning or unconditionally. The team is highly skilled at maximising a development site’s potential and could add value without any expanse to the owner, so it is always worth having the conversation before committing to a sale. Prospective sites that the team will consider include individual houses with large gardens, land assembly inclusive of multiple garden schemes of existing properties, existing commercial or residential buildings that need maintenance or repair, and commercial properties that could be considered for a change of purpose to residential. Some of the recent projects the team have undertaken include the fitting of a stylish, modern bathroom to a previously gutted space, with pipework and insulation left bare on display, in Loughton, and a rear-extension complete with an orangery, fully landscaped garden complete with water feature, and new windows and doors throughout the property. Before and after pictures are available on the Rosco & Perlini website, so new and old customers alike can see first-hand the top-quality work done by the team.
