Welcome to City Waterproofing LTD
Swift and Effective Repairs
At City Waterproofing Ltd, we’ve been proud to serve the SW1V area for over 15 years, offering specialized Dry Rot Solutions to safeguard your property. Dry rot, scientifically known as Serpula lacrymans, is a common yet often underestimated menace in older homes and commercial buildings, particularly in a historic area like Pimlico. It thrives in damp, poorly ventilated spaces and can compromise the structural integrity of your property if not addressed promptly.
Dry rot is not just a simple wood decay; it’s a complex fungal attack that destroys the fibers of the timber, leading to severe structural damage. It can spread rapidly, often going unnoticed until significant damage has occurred. In SW1V, where many properties boast period features and timber structures, it’s particularly crucial to be vigilant. If left untreated, dry rot can lead to costly repairs and even the loss of historical integrity in buildings.
When it comes to addressing dry rot, our approach is thorough and tailored to each unique property in SW1V. We understand the importance of preserving the character of your home or business while ensuring it remains safe and structurally sound.
The first step in our process is a comprehensive survey conducted by our qualified surveyors. We assess the extent of the dry rot and identify the underlying causes, such as moisture ingress or inadequate ventilation. For instance, we recently worked on a Victorian townhouse on St George's Drive, where our team discovered significant dry rot in the basement due to persistent dampness from a leaking pipe.
Once we understand the situation, we provide a detailed specification of suitable solutions. This may include:
Our team of experienced technicians is dedicated to executing these solutions with precision. Using durable materials that comply with BS 8102:2022 standards, we ensure that our work not only addresses current issues but also prevents future problems. In another project, we replaced timber beams in a historic building on Belgrave Road, reinforcing the structure while maintaining its classic charm.
Once the installation is complete, we conduct a thorough handover process. This includes clean plastering and providing you with maintenance guidance to help you keep your property dry and rot-free. We believe that informed clients are empowered clients, so we take the time to explain how to monitor for any potential issues in the future.
Properties in SW1V face unique challenges when it comes to moisture management, especially given the age of many buildings and their original construction methods. Our commitment to eco-friendly practices means we utilize sustainable materials that not only solve immediate problems but also contribute to a healthier environment. For example, we use:

After thorough diagnosis and treatment involving moisture control measures and timber replacement, the homeowners were thrilled with the results. They not only regained the integrity of their home but also improved its energy efficiency.
