Damp Proofing

 

 

MHP Services offer a full range of service regardless of the problems of dampness within your property, and work to the British Code of practice BS 6576

 

Rising damp is not the most common form of dampness encountered in buildings; this is left to condensation. However, a high proportion of older buildings are affected by rising damp to some degree or another.

Rising damp in buildings may be defined as the vertical flow of water up through a permeable wall structure, the water being derived from ground water. The water rises through the pores (capillaries) in the masonry by a process loosely termed "capilliarity." In other words the masonry acts like a wick

Treatment of rising damp (known as "damp-proofing" or "dampcoursing") typically involves the installation of a chemical DPC using specialist injection equipment, followed by replastering using a salt retardant additive such as Sovereign Rendermix or Sovereign Renderlite renovation plasters.

 

MHP services use Sovereign Chemicals products in all there damproffing works, as Market leaders in remedial products, Sovereign offer a full range of top qaulity produtcs to service the remedial trade.

 

 

The Sovereign Chemicals Ltd 30 Year Protection Scheme Guarantee if offered by remedial contractors who have been vetted by Sovereign Chemicals Ltd. Only when we are satisfied that they are capable of carrying out work to a consistently high standard they we allow contractors to become Sovereign Chemicals Ltd Approved Contractors. Regular site visits ensure that standards of workmanship and customer care are maintained.

Sovereign Chemicals Ltd believe that it is essential that specifiers and the public at large are protected. Even the most conscientious and meticulous contractor may not be available to service his guarantee due to circumstances beyond his control. In this event Sovereign intervene.

 

Once the Sovereign Chemicals Ltd 30 Year Protection Scheme Guarantee has been issued the property is covered against a recurrence of the original problem for a full 30 years. This cover is initially supplied by the contractor, however, if he is no longer in business, Sovereign Chemicals Ltd will arrange for the necessary retreatment, to be carried out at no further cost to the householder, by another Sovereign Chemicals Ltd Approved Contractor. All work will be completed to sovereign specifications at al times. This will include, in the case of chemical damp proofing, removal and reinstatement of defective plaster. This protection is provided for a one off payment of 5% plus VAT, of the original contract value (including rendering), subject to a minimum charge of £40.00 plus VAT.  

 

The Sovereign Chemicals Ltd 30 Year Protection Scheme Guarantee is used by Local Authorities, Housing Associations, Building Societies and Banks, as well as many thousands of householders.
