Stop damp before it spreads
Dampness has a nasty habit of starting small and then getting its boots on, staining walls, lifting paint, and leaving rooms feeling cold, miserable and unsafe. We use damp-proofing methods at CT Buildings Property Services in Consett that match the problem properly, from damp-proof courses and waterproof coatings to tanking systems and moisture-control treatments. That matters because rising damp, external moisture, and hidden water ingress cause different types of damage if left untreated.
Our thermal imaging camera helps us identify issues that are not obvious on the surface, reducing the risk of treating the wrong area. If you are a homeowner, landlord, or managing agent, early diagnosis helps protect the building fabric and reduce future repair costs. Our experience in building services supports wider property repairs, while work in kitchens and bathrooms helps address moisture-related issues in high-humidity areas. We keep the process clear, practical, and focused on what the property actually needs.
Finding the cause, not just the stain
Our damp investigations go beyond what you can see with the naked eye. Thermal imaging helps us track colder, moisture-affected areas inside walls and around external problem points, giving you a clearer picture of where water is getting in or building up.
We can then recommend the right treatment, whether that means installing a new barrier, applying a waterproof coating or using a full tanking system for below-ground spaces. For landlords and local authority requirements, we can also issue landlord certificates where needed. That gives you useful documentation alongside remedial work, not just a brief look and a shrug.​
What makes this feel less like guesswork
A proper remedy does more than tidy up a wall, because damp can affect plaster, timber and the overall feel of your rooms over time. Our approach is based on matching the treatment to the moisture source, which helps avoid repeat problems and wasted spend. That can be especially important in older properties where hidden damp may sit behind finishes long before you spot the marks. Taking care of it early can help you protect your property, keep rooms healthier to live in, and make future maintenance much easier.
Had an issue with a rented property. Contacted Craig and he was great. Did a quote from photographs saving me time and then liaised direct with the tenant to do the repairs. Pretty sure the work went ahead on a Saturday as the tenant was at work all week. Perfect service
