Be-Dri Victorian & Edwardian Damp Specialists

Based in Bournemouth, Be-Dri Victorian & Edwardian Damp Specialists focus on damp proofing and woodworm treatment in period houses dating from 1837 to 1920. Their work addresses the distinct ways older structures function compared to modern buildings, taking an approach suited to Victorian and Edwardian architecture, listed buildings, and traditional building renovations.

Their diagnostic and remedial work targets issues stemming from past lack of maintenance and inappropriate interventions, such as cement repointing, blocked cavities, blocked ventilation, and raised pathways. These faults disrupt a building's natural breathing cycle and lock in moisture, leading to penetrating damp, rising damp, condensation, and wet and dry rot across timber, external brickwork, and hidden sub-floor spaces.

To resolve these underlying structural problems, they deliver tailored damp treatments, condensation control, woodworm and timber treatment, and timber repairs. Their broader services include pointing, repointing, wall tie replacement to tackle corrosion, cavity wall work, plastering and screeding, plasterboard and dry lining, and general building maintenance and repairs.
