Damp Proofing Sussex

Shaw Preservations Limited was set up in 1974 to specialise in the eradication of woodworm, fungal decay and rising damp in buildings, plus cellar waterproofing. This was expanded in 1987 to cover wall tie replacement and hoop iron removal.

In view of the amount of rogue traders, it is strongly recommended that any work carried out with regards to damp and timber surveys should be with a BWPDA appointed contractor.

• Our surveyors DO NOT work on commission.
• All our surveyors are fully qualified.
• Should you have any work carried out by Shaw Preservations, at least one member of staff will be fully trained thereby solving unforeseen problems very quickly.
• We carry out work for Housing Associations, Councils, Architects, Surveyors, Estate Agents, Building Contractors etc.
• We are members of the BWPDA (British Wood Preservation & Damp-proofing Association) See below.
• We only use top quality chemicals at the right concentrations in the recommended quantities. In most cases the materials used are environmentally safe.
• Out of 2500 remedial surveyors in the UK, we are one of only 20 registered with the FSA (Financial Services Authority) licensed to sell back up insurance.
• Our back up insurance is NOT a warranty and is not dependant on a chemical company (see GPIC below).
• We offer 20-year guarantees for Timber treatments and damp-proofing Free of charge.
• Tanking systems hold either 5 or 10 year guarantees dependant on the type used.
• We are the largest specialists of Hoop Iron and can survey, remove and insert Hoop irons.
