Magnetic DPC Testimonials

We were recommended Core Conservation by some conservation professionals.

Following an initial consultation with an engineer, we installed the dehydration system into our Grade II listed Tudor cottage in October 2017. The Engineer returned only last week to evaluate changes to the severity of the rising damp in our walls since installation. After only 6 months there is a marked improvement in readings, some of which are 50% lower than those established at outset. We are very pleased with the findings and look forward to the next scheduled visit in 6 months’ time to learn of further improvement readings. Well done!

I had an ongoing and very persistent dampness problem in my 1860s flint and lime worker’s cottage. My builders and I had tried everything possible to remedy this, working within the restrictions of the age of the cottage and its building methods and materials.

Core Conservation came to inspect the problem very soon after contact. At the meeting they did undertake the analysis of the affected areas and explained to the builders and myself how their damp proofing system would work, which was installed shortly afterwards.

Despite a very wet winter I quickly saw a change in the damp areas, which seemed to be drying out quite rapidly. The damp proofing system was installed at the beginning of an extraordinarily wet period and the walls appear to now be more or less dry, six months later, which was confirmed by the 6 monthly follow-up testing. The team I have been working with has all been delightful and I commend their patience, politeness and spotless working procedures.
