Nia Build service
Damp & Fungus Treatment
Treatment of damp, moisture-damaged and fungus-affected walls using appropriate remedial systems to address the underlying moisture problem and restore affected surfaces.
Service overview
Understanding the support available.
Nia Build provides remedial treatment for walls affected by dampness, moisture staining, peeling finishes and fungus growth. The work begins with assessing the affected area and identifying the likely source of moisture. Depending on the condition of the wall, treatment may involve removal of deteriorated paint, skim coat or plaster, preparation of the substrate, application of moisture-control or waterproofing products, reinstatement of damaged finishes and protective treatment before repainting. The exact treatment is selected according to the source and severity of the moisture problem rather than simply covering visible damage with a new finish.
