Thinking of DIY damp proofing?

It is cost-effective, but there are key things to consider. Accurately identifying the cause — whether it’s rising damp, condensation, or water ingress — is crucial, as each needs a different fix. Using the wrong materials or sealing over salt-contaminated plaster can worsen the problem. Heritage buildings, in particular, need breathable solutions to prevent hidden damage. That’s where Heritage & Modern Damp Proofing Solutions comes in — we offer expert advice, specialist products, and support for DIYers who want to get it right the first time.
