The Highest Level of Damp Expertise
At HPS Damp Proofing, we specialise in diagnosing, treating and preventing all forms of damp, timber decay and condensation throughout York and the surrounding areas.
With over 17 years of experience, and full PCA (Property Care Association) and NVQ qualifications, we offer professional, reliable, and long-lasting property care solutions.
Every home is different — which is why our surveys and treatments are tailored to your property’s unique needs. Whether you’re buying a home, tackling persistent damp, or dealing with mould growth, our specialists deliver the expertise and peace of mind you deserve.
Damp proofing is the first step to protecting your home’s structure. Our qualified surveyors diagnose the root cause of moisture ingress — including rising damp, penetrating damp, and sub-floor lateral damp — before applying the correct remedial treatment. As PCA CSDB and CSTDB certified professionals, we use advanced equipment to identify damp problems accurately and provide the right long-term solution. From injection damp proof courses to full membrane systems, we ensure your home stays dry, safe and protected for years to come. If you suspect a damp issue, contact us and we’ll arrange a full PCA-qualified survey to accurately diagnose and quote for any required works.
Timber preservation is essential for preventing structural damage caused by fungal decay, dry rot, wet rot, or woodworm infestation. We carry out specialist inspections and treatments that stop decay, kill infestation, and restore timber integrity across domestic and heritage properties. Our experience in both residential and commercial sectors ensures every job, big or small, receives the same care and expertise. We also handle joinery and finishing work, ensuring your property is left in pristine condition.
Our Damp and Timber Survey provides a complete diagnosis of your property’s condition. Carried out by a PCA CSDB | CSTDB certified surveyor, the inspection identifies all sources of damp, fungal decay, and wood-boring infestation. You’ll receive a detailed written report, recommended works, and a transparent quotation for any remedial treatment required. This service gives you complete clarity on the health of your property and the actions needed to protect it.
Before buying a property, it’s vital to know what’s behind the walls and under the floors. Our pre-purchase damp and timber surveys uncover potential hidden damage from damp or woodworm that could cost thousands to repair later. We’ll provide a professional report detailing any existing or potential issues, along with clear advice on remedial work. This can help you make informed decisions — or even renegotiate a property price based on the findings.
Condensation and mould are two of the most common issues in homes today. Our qualified Condensation and Mould Surveyor, trained in A Diagnostic Approach to Understanding Condensation, Atmospheric Moisture and Mould, conducts a full scientific investigation into the cause of moisture build-up. We measure humidity, temperature, vapour pressure, and dew points using advanced diagnostic tools like thermo-hygrometers, infra-red thermometers, and data loggers. A full written report is provided, identifying causes and recommending permanent solutions.
Persistent mould can affect both your property and your health. Our specialist Mould Eradication Unit effectively eliminates airborne mould spores and surface growth. We identify the root cause and ensure mould is safely removed — not just covered up. This service helps maintain a healthier indoor environment and prevents the reoccurrence of mould-related damage.
To control moisture and improve air quality, we install Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) units. These systems continuously introduce fresh, filtered air into your property, reducing condensation, mould growth, and musty odours. Our qualified surveyor will recommend the best PIV solution based on your home’s layout and ventilation needs.
