Damp Proof Injection

We at Go Green, believe that Damp Proof Course (DPC) injections play a crucial role in protecting buildings from the damaging effects of moisture.

These injections involve the application of a specialised chemical solution into the mortar joints or masonry of a structure, creating a barrier that prevents the upward movement of groundwater or moisture.

The importance of DPC injections lies in their ability to:

​

1. Prevent Rising Damp

2. Preserve Structural Integrity

3. Protect Against Mould and Rot

4. Enhance Thermal Efficiency

5. Preserve Aesthetic Appeal

6. Support Long-Term Property Value

Waterproof  Sub Level Tanking

At Go Green, our waterproof tanking solutions are primarily designed to create an impermeable barrier, providing effective protection against water ingress and associated issues.

This method is particularly well-suited for various applications, ensuring durability, longevity, and safeguarding against potential damage. 

​

Do you have damp in any of the below?

​

1. Basements or Cellar?

2. Foundations or Substructures? 

3. Retaining Walls?

4. Wet Rooms or Bathrooms?

5. Flat Roofs and Terraces?

6. Balconies and Decks?

7. Structural Renovations?

8. Below-Ground Extensions?

Timber Treatments 

Timber treatments are essential for enhancing the durability and longevity of wood products, protecting them from various environmental factors such as moisture, insects, and decay. Proper treatment not only ensures the structural integrity of the timber but also maintains its aesthetic appeal. Choosing the right company for timber treatments is crucial, and Go Green stands out as an excellent choice for several reasons.

Our company employs advanced and environmentally friendly treatment methods, guaranteeing effective preservation without harming the ecosystem. With a team of experienced professionals, Go Green ensures precise and thorough treatment processes, addressing specific needs and challenges associated with different types of wood. Our commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction sets us apart in the industry. By opting for timber treatments from Go Green, clients can trust that their wooden structures and products will not only withstand the test of time but also showcase the highest standards of craftsmanship and preservation.

ProPerla Hydrophobic Coatings 

When applied, the exterior wall coating creates a waterproof, super hydrophobic surface commonly referred to as the ‘lotus effect‘ due to it’s similarity to the water repelling properties of the lotus leaf. When it rains, coated mineral surfaces will repel the water, causing it to form beads (because the water is more attracted to itself than the surface) and run off without being absorbed.

Independent tests have shown that it reduces water absorption by 93.4% and therefore meets the British standard for water vapour resistance BS EN ISO 7783:2011.

​

UKAS accredited tests demonstrated that by reducing water absorption of the walls, the wall coating lead to thermal performance benefits & has been proven to meet EAD 040083-00-0404.

​

In addition, testing in a hydrothermal chamber revealed that a wall treated with the wall coating and subjected to repeated heat-rain conditions in accordance with EAD 090062-00-0404, resulted in reduced heat loss when compared with the uncoated (control) wall. The uncoated wall showed on average an increase of 6⁰C of heat loss in comparison to the walls coated with ProPERLA.

​

The wall coating also improves thermal efficiency and contributes to lower energy consumption and lower energy bills, by keeping walls dry. Damp walls act as ‘thermal bridges’ – enabling heat to transfer from the inside out twice as quickly as it would if the walls remained dry.

Thermal Insulation Upgrades

There are several types of insulation materials that can be used in a loft or attic space to improve energy efficiency and regulate temperature.

The choice of insulation depends on factors such as budget, local climate, and personal preferences. Here are some common types of loft insulation:

​

Fiberglass Insulation

Fiberglass insulation comes in rolls or batts and is made from fine glass fibres. It is a popular choice due to its affordability and effectiveness.
 

Pros: Good thermal performance, fire-resistant, easy to install.
Cons: Can cause skin irritation, requires protective clothing during installation.

​

Cellulose Insulation
Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper or cardboard treated with fire retardants. It can be blown or sprayed into the loft space

​

Pros: Environmentally friendly, good thermal performance, effective in reducing air leakage.
Cons: May settle over time, may be more expensive than fiberglass.

​

Mineral Wool Insulation
Mineral wool insulation, such as rock wool or slag wool, is made from natural or synthetic minerals. It is available in batts, rolls, or loose-fill form.
 

Pros: Fire-resistant, excellent thermal performance, resistant to pests.
Cons: Can be heavier and more expensive than fiberglass.

​

Spray Foam Insulation

Spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid that expands into a foam, creating a tight seal. It can be made from polyurethane or other materials.
Pros: Provides an airtight seal, high R-value (thermal resistance), water-resistant.
Cons: More expensive, may require professional installation, may release toxic fumes during application.

​

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Insulation
 

EPS insulation, commonly known as beadboard, is made from expanded polystyrene beads. It is available in rigid panels or boards.
Pros: Lightweight, good thermal performance, resistant to moisture.
Cons: May not provide as high an R-value as some other materials.

​

Reflective Insulation

Reflective insulation usually consists of a reflective foil facing that reflects radiant heat. It is often used in combination with other insulation materials.
Pros: Reflects heat, effective in reducing radiant heat transfer.

Cons: more expensive, requires professional installation.
 

Professional advice and installation may be recommended, especially for certain types of insulation like spray foam.
