Bryan Sharda2021-01-31What a great experience I had with this service. So nice to find a reliable company who give honest prices and do the job they say they are going to do. I have had a damp problem at my home in Ipswich for over a decade so thought it might be too big of a job to sort out but they did a perfect job overall, including the plastering and even cleaned up afterwards. Very professional team and I am very happy with the results.
Rafael Blair2021-01-28I had tried a few builders before to look at my condensation issue and none of them seemed to know what was causing it so I tried this specialist damp proofing company instead. I am very pleased I did because Karl and his team knew straight away what the problems were and I had in fact two issues, which were penetrating damp and also dry rot. I was very impressed with their in-depth knowledge and also the expertise of the builders. The price was also far more competitive than I thought it would be which is great in these current times.
Mary Miller2021-01-25Karl and Jamie really are a credit to the company and to the industry in general. I don't think I have ever encountered a company that is as professional but also has the expertise in their own field! Fixed my downpipe leak, crack in the wall, damp inside from the crack and replastered to perfection. I was also very impressed with the procedures they have in place with masks and being safe in the current climate
Erica Jimenez2021-01-25An absolute perfect service from start to end! The quality of work was spot on and the team very helpful and understanding of my situation, while also carrying out the job with full PPE and social distancing. I highly recommend this local company.
Kenny Wylie2021-01-22I called a few local companies in Ipswich for treatment of the mould in my property. This company carried out damp control and also some basement waterproofing which solved all of the issues.
evie hopkins2021-01-20Karl's team did an excellent job. I honestly wish I could give more than 5 stars, it was that good. The experience of the customer service, work carried out and demeanour of the very polite staff was an absolute pleasure to deal with and very refreshing. I had an issue with some black mould on my bedroom ceilings that I had applied damp paint continually for years. After coming to the realisation that I was just covering it up, I called Ipswich Damp Proofing and they came out to do a survey. The best decision I have made for a long time. I was given, what I thought was a very fair price and a timescale to start and finish the work. They literally carried out the work to the exact time promised and also all done with a pleasant and friendly manner. They worked under strict social distancing
Joleen Richard2021-01-18I felt like the staff that came to put in a DPC at my house were very polite and trustworthy people. They diagnosed the damp problem promptly and after a written quotation, carried out the work with little fuss and were totally professional.
James Williamson2021-01-17Great service. Kept me informed on every step of the process and most importantly gave me a free quotation before work commenced for fixing my damp, which other companies don't always do
Darby Kersey2021-01-15I had damp rising up a lot of my walls home. The work that was carried out to fix it was done to a very high standard and at a competitive price.
Brian Freeman2021-01-13Very prompt and extremely efficient service given for my rising damp problem. The gentleman who arrived gave a competitive quote and there was a fast turn around on doing the job. I wouldn't hesitate in using the company again or recommending.
What Customers Ask?
Here are some of the most popular questions we get asked by our customers and also with general enquiries.
This can be possible but quite often, DIY products bought online are inferior to the professional damp proofing products we use to fix damp issues. It’s not only the quality of the product that can be an issue but also the application. We have had decades in the industry, which enables us to use products and chemicals in the correct way and these methods will give customers the peace of mind that work has been done right and correctly. Added to that is the fact that we offer a full workmanship guarantee on top of the warranty supplied from the product manufacturers.
The industry average is £280 to £2000 for a damp proof course, depending on the size of the property. There are also many types of individual and unique mould and damp problems that need a more specialised touch and costs can vary immensely on this depending on the issue at hand. We pride ourselves on being one of the most competitive damp proofers in Ipswich and the sector in general.
There are many ways to detect damp but there are also many clues within your home, like a must smell, mould or mildew, peeling wallpaper, feeling cold or damp, condensation on windows, water on UPVC and discolouration on walls and ceilings. Fungus, rising damp and other similar issues are pretty obvious sometimes so it is easy to know when to call out a professional company like ours. If you have any suspicions of any damp being prevalent in your house, then get in touch sooner rather than later to avoid any structural damage being caused to your property.
Penetrating Damp
Penetrating damp is another type of damp that affects a large number of buildings. Penetrating damp is classed as any water that finds its way inside the property from the outside and can occur at all levels and heights of the building
Rising Damp
Rising damp is a common problem in Suffolk properties and the process of rising damp is that when the moisture is drawn into the brick of the building and travels up the walls through capillary action.
Rotting Timber
Many issues can arise when damp is left untreated such as wet rot, woodworm and dry rot. These issues are detrimental for your property, and health by using our Ipswich Damp Proofing services you can prevent this from happening.
Condensation
Condensation and mould growth are widespread problems in all housing sectors, but especially so in tenanted accommodation. In many cases it may be difficult to identify the underlying causes; this can often be complicated by social issues.

Many people believe that poisonous mould is the only mould, but in fact, there are a number of types that can be extremely harmful to the human body. Colour and toxicity are two different things and play a crucial role in preventing mould. Here’s what I think harmful mould could be in your home: It grows wherever there is a damp surface or water damage. As exposure to toxic particles can pose a serious health threat, it is important to seek professional help if you think you may have dangerous mildew in your home. If you discover mould at home and think you are suffering from toxins – a related health problem – it can help you separate fact from fiction.
Since the effects of mould on humans can vary greatly due to the amount and typed. It is not only samples or cultures that can be relied on to know the health risks. Black & toxic mould are the same as any other form in your home and should be treated for the same cleanup purposes. Another form of the black mould is poisonous, which, in contrast to other forms that can have a very dark black appearance. It is important to immediately rid the house of this issue or prevent the growth of it in the first place!
Although mould is easy to spot, it is important to remember that non-black mould can be toxic and can release harmful mycotoxins. A mycotoxin is normally spread via mould spores and, if taken sufficiently and over time, can cause potentially serious health problems.
However, the health effects of mould can be permanent, and babies with other allergies are particularly vulnerable. Dead mould is allergic, so babies can react to mould even if they are otherwise healthy, even though the dead mould has been killed and the baby is otherwise healthy. However, if a child is exposed to toxic black mould for a long time, its immune system remains weak and it will be more sensitive to mould and fungal toxins in the future. It is important to remember that myotoxin can cause serious health problems and have adverse health effects on the human body. There must be certain specific factors in order for black mould to become toxic, but this is not enough to simply kill the mould.
To avoid serious health problems and reverse the negative effects of mould, you need to take swift and efficient action at the first sign of mould in your home. If you have mould, it is also very likely that you will have moisture problems, which will ultimately contribute to even more mould. When mould spores and get into the air, they pose a health risk to exposed persons, as they can be viable (alive) or not viable (dead) when they enter the air. Care must be taken that no mould cells or spores released during the remediation, otherwise, it will probably return. A specialist in mould control can come and remove the issue as quickly as possible after the first mould infestation in the apartment.
How mould in indoor spaces affects humans depends on how long they are exposed to it and how they also react to it. Will, there be a large number of mould spores that people will be exposed to, and if so, how much? The health effects that each person will experience will depend on the dose and overall exposure to the spores and toxins, with some moulds being more harmful than others.
Prolonged exposure to black mould can lead to more serious health effects that can be dangerous to your overall well-being.
For example, people exposed to contaminated soil can cause a serious health problem called aspergillosis, an infection called Blastomyces dermatitidis-type, when inhaled. This can mean great difficulties for immuno-compromised people and for people with certain cancers. Some health effects may be caused by diseases caused by mould and the mycotoxins they produce.
Under the right conditions, some moulds can produce toxic mycotoxins that can make you ill, and inhaling toxic mould spores for a long time can break up the body’s defences and cause life-threatening long-term damage. Mould in food is not only unsightly but can also cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems. While pathogenic mould can have serious and immediate effects on a person’s health, toxic mould can also affect health and increase its effects over time. Mould can not only affect health, but also the risk of doing a bad job and causing more massive mould attacks.
Mould spores are toxic transporters into the environment and can increase the risk of health effects of black mould. Although mould itself is not toxic, the spores can produce dangerous toxins that can have a negative effect on health when eating, breathing or touching the mould. Mould can also move in the air and release huge amounts of harmful spores into the air, to the detriment of the people you share your home with.
