Fakenham and the surrounding North Norfolk countryside contain a wide variety of property types, from flint-faced farmhouses and barn conversions to Georgian townhouses and modern bungalows. Each presents unique challenges for damp proofing and timber preservation, and our team has extensive experience working with all of them.
Barn conversions are a speciality of ours in the Fakenham area. Many of North Norfolk's barns have been converted into residential dwellings, but the original structures were never designed to be habitable and often lack basic damp proofing. We provide structural waterproofing, membrane tanking, and ventilation solutions that make barn conversions genuinely comfortable and dry to live in, without compromising the character of the original building.
North Norfolk's holiday cottage market creates another set of challenges. Second homes and holiday lets that are heated intermittently and left unoccupied for extended periods are particularly prone to condensation and mould. We install low-energy PIV units that run continuously for just a few pence per day, keeping the air fresh and dry even when the property is empty. This protects both the building fabric and the furnishings, and ensures guests arrive to a fresh, mould-free environment.
