The problem

After a burst pipe or a flood, how quickly and how thoroughly a structure is dried determines whether you get a straightforward repair or a mould and decay problem three months later. Screeds, insulation layers and wall cavities hold water long after surfaces feel dry.

We install the right combination of dehumidification and air movement, measure daily, and provide a documented drying record — which is what insurers and loss adjusters ask for.

How we handle it

From first reading to registered guarantee

The same five stages on every job, whether it is one wall or a whole property.

  1. 01

    Extraction and strip-out

    Standing water removed, saturated non-salvageable materials taken out.

  2. 02

    Moisture mapping

    Affected area surveyed and baseline readings recorded, including hidden layers.

  3. 03

    Install the drying regime

    Dehumidifiers, air movers and targeted systems sized for the volume and materials.

  4. 04

    Monitor and adjust

    Regular readings logged and equipment adjusted until targets are met.

  5. 05

    Sign off and reinstate

    Drying certificate issued, then replastering and reinstatement.

Questions

Professional Drying — answered

A single wet room with plaster and timber is often two to three weeks. Screeded floors and insulated cavities can take considerably longer, which is why we measure rather than estimate.

For minor surface dampness, possibly. For anything structural you need controlled airflow as well as extraction, and documented readings if there is an insurance claim.

Yes. Our drying logs and certificates are prepared to the standard loss adjusters expect.
