Protect Your Home with Professional Damp Proofing Solutions

Damp can cause lasting damage to your property if not treated properly — from peeling paint and mould growth to structural decay. At North Building Contractors, we provide expert damp proofing services across Belfast and surrounding areas, helping homeowners safeguard their homes from moisture, improve air quality, and maintain property value.

Types of Damp Proofing We Offer

 

  • Rising Damp Treatment – installation or repair of damp proof courses (DPC) to prevent ground moisture rising through walls.

  • Penetrating Damp Solutions – external wall sealing, gutter repairs, and pointing to stop water ingress.

  • Condensation Control – ventilation improvements, extractor fans, and insulation to reduce moisture build-up.

  • Basement & Cellar Tanking – full waterproofing systems for below-ground rooms.

  • Damp Surveys & Diagnostics – professional inspection to identify the root cause before treatment.

Our Damp Proofing Process

  1. Inspection & Diagnosis – We carry out a full damp survey, using moisture meters and visual checks to pinpoint the cause.

  2. Tailored Recommendations – We provide a clear, written report with options for treatment and prevention.

  3. Preparation & Repairs – Any necessary wall stripping, plaster removal, or external work is carried out before damp proofing begins.

  4. Application of Damp Proofing Systems – Whether it’s DPC injection, tanking, or membrane installation, we apply proven systems to protect your home.

  5. Replastering & Finishing – Once treated, walls are re-rendered, plastered, and finished to restore your home to a clean, dry condition.

I asked Leo to do a lot of work that needed done for my new house. He pointed out a lot of major issues that I had missed which I was so thankful for as this is my first house so I didn't really know what to look for. His communication is fantastic! Anything I needed or any questions I had he would get back to me with no issues. Him and his team were brilliant and very friendly. They paid attention to detail and they always tidied up after them. If i had any questions they would explain it to me in depth so i understood. They know their stuff and I would highly recommend them. Communication is a big thing for me and Leo was absolutely amazing. Leo and his team are very skilled at what they do and I am so happy with the results. I now feel safe in my first new home. Thank you!

Were really pleased with North. We needed work done to weather proof our new home. Every aspect was covered including chimney and ridge tiles and it looks much better now as well.

I couldn't recommend North Building Contractors enough as they have gone above and beyond to make sure I have received my dream door for my house as soothly and easily as possible for me. They have made the process a lot less stressful as they do everything themselves and go out of their way for the clients. I will definitely be using them again in future to do additional jobs as I can not get over how amazing they handle everything which benefits people and families who have very busy lives and want the stress free experience with professional service and with an exquisite outcome. Thank you Leo and your team for all your hard work. You definitely get what you pay for.
