Ashton came out to look at an issue raised on a survey. Rather than recommend expensive remediation, he told me there was nothing wrong with the wall. Great to have an honest discussion with a tradesperson.

Excellent service from start to finish. The survey was thorough and professional. Honest, evidence-based advice rather than trying to sell unnecessary work. I came away with complete peace of mind.

We trace it. We dry it. We put it right.
Make safe and assess
Request a call back in under a minute. We inspect the property, find where the water is coming from and assess the full extent of the damage.
Extract and dry the structure
Standing water is removed and industrial dehumidifiers dry the structure, monitored until moisture readings confirm it is safe to restore.
Fix the cause and restore
Our in-house team repairs the source, then re-plasters, treats timber and finishes your home, backed by a 25-year guarantee.
The water damage we trace and fix
From sudden emergencies to long-standing leaks, we handle the full range of water damage in homes across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire.
Burst pipes and leaks
Internal plumbing failures, supply pipe bursts, radiator leaks, and overflows from tanks or cylinders.
Flooding and water ingress
Groundwater rising through floors, surface water entering through walls, and flash flooding from extreme weather.
Penetrating damp and rain damage
Water driven through brickwork, failed pointing, cracked render, leaking roofs and defective guttering.
Escape of water
Hidden leaks behind walls, under floors and in ceiling voids that cause damage long before they are spotted.
Why speed matters with water damage
Water does not just sit there. Within hours it wicks into plaster, insulation and timber. Within days, mould starts to colonise damp surfaces. Within weeks, structural timbers can begin to rot and subfloors can warp. The faster the structure is dried, the less there is to repair.
- 24–48 hours: mould can begin to grow on wet surfaces
- 1–2 weeks: timber starts absorbing moisture and weakening
- Longer: structural rot, warped floors, ruined finishes
- Professional drying cuts restoration time and cost significantly

Everything you might be wondering
We carry out every job with our own in-house teams, and your survey report is yours to keep, even when you are still deciding on a property.
We handle all forms of water damage: burst pipes, leaks from above, penetrating damp, rising damp, rainwater ingress, storm damage, flooding and escape of water. Whether the source is internal plumbing or external weathering, we trace it, dry the structure and carry out the repairs.
We aim to get a specialist to your property as quickly as possible. Once you contact us we will assess the urgency of your situation and arrange a visit at the earliest opportunity. Damp and water damage get worse the longer they are left, so we prioritise getting to you fast.
Both. We trace the source of the water, carry out structural drying and dehumidification to stabilise the property, and then fix the underlying cause, whether that is drainage, tanking, re-plastering, timber treatment or exterior repairs. One company, start to finish.
We can work alongside your insurer. Our detailed assessment and photographic evidence of the damage can support your claim, and we are happy to liaise with loss adjusters where needed. If you are handling the repair yourself, we provide a clear, itemised quote you can submit.
Very often, yes. Mould can begin to grow within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure. That is why speed matters: the faster we extract the water and dry the structure, the lower the risk of secondary mould and timber damage. If mould has already appeared, our team treats it as part of the restoration.
Yes. You can spread the cost of restoration work with 0% finance, with interest-free options over up to 24 months and longer repayment plans available up to 10 years, subject to status. Your specialist can talk you through the options when they visit.
Yes. Every job is backed by our 25-year workmanship guarantee, with an optional 30-year insurance-backed guarantee available for added peace of mind. All work is carried out by our accredited in-house teams to PCA standards.
We cover Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, with in-house teams working right across the south.
