Specialist damp proofing, timber treatment and woodworm solutions for homes across Weston-super-Mare, Portishead, Cheddar, Wedmore and Bridgwater. Over 20 years' experience.
What we do
Every property is different. We survey first, identify the root cause, and apply the right treatment - not a one-size-fits-all approach.
Rising damp, penetrating damp and water ingress are among the most damaging problems a home can face. Left untreated, they destroy plaster, rot timber and create conditions for mould growth.
Dry rot and wet rot attack structural timbers silently. Early identification and treatment is essential - untreated fungal decay can compromise floors, joists and roof timbers.
Woodworm (the larvae of wood-boring beetles) can be active for years before becoming visible. We identify the species, assess the damage, and treat affected timbers with Biokil Crown approved insecticidal products.
The process

About Damptech
Damptech has been treating damp, timber and woodworm problems across North Somerset for over 20 years. Founded by Damien Weir, the business is built on honest advice, thorough surveys and treatments that genuinely last.
Unlike larger national companies, we're independent. No call centres, no sales reps - we arrive on time, assess the problem properly and tell you straight what needs doing and what doesn't.
If your home doesn't have a problem, we'll tell you that too. No charge, no pressure.
Biokil Crown Approved
All products used meet UK regulatory standards for biocidal treatments.
How we work
A lot of damp companies skip the diagnosis. We don't. Every job starts with a proper survey using professional equipment - so you get the right treatment, not just the most expensive one.
Coverage area
We focus on the communities we know well - the older housing stock across North Somerset and the Somerset Levels, where damp and timber problems are most common.
Customer reviews
"From start to finish their professionalism, friendliness and the outstanding quality of the finished product were all a pleasure to observe. Damien is also a very decent human being and it was great to be able to trust him 100%."
"Damien came out to assess a potential damp problem. Our assessment was that we did not have any water ingress and therefore did not need a damp report. We fully expected to pay at least something for our time, but there was no charge. 100% trustworthy company. Very impressed."
"From the extremely thorough survey to the completed works, Damien was so professional. He explained the issues our home had in easy-to-understand terms. Damien was recommended to us and I wouldn't hesitate in doing the same."
"Can't fault the service from Damien - called me straight after inspecting my property, explained what was needed, and carried out the full woodworm treatment swiftly, showing me photos and videos of every step. Highly recommend."
"From the initial survey, the work was carried out with extreme care and efficiency. The job was done tidily and really cleanly. Can't praise Damien and our crew more. Highly recommended."
"Damien came and gave a couple of different quotes depending on the amount of work we wanted doing, popped round again before the appointment to confirm everything, and cleaned up after. Really pleased with the work done."
