Tackling damp – from outside
With a climate like we
have in the UK, it’s no
wonder that damp is a
major problem for many
householders.
Unsightly, unpleasant and
unhealthy, it can also be messy and
disruptive to treat – at least when
using conventional methods.
But one damp proofing
system founded 40 years ago in
Amsterdam – where they know
a thing or two about damp – can
be done quickly and efficiently
from outside the building, with
minimal fuss.
Now operating in the UK for
20 years, Frank Schrivjer Damp
Control employs 60 people and
has treated hundreds of homes
across the Isle of Wight.
The company sends two
engineers to the Island for a week
every month, and they take just
a day to complete the process on
each property.
The top secret process can
be performed on any type of
building material, whether brick
or stone, cavity or no cavity – and
the results speak for themselves,
with no claims yet for the money-
back guarantee if walls are not
dry after a year, and an array of
glowing testimonials from happy
homeowners.
