Damp and timber problems in Carrickfergus
Carrickfergus has a genuinely old core — buildings around the castle and harbour that predate anything resembling modern damp proofing, built in stone with lime mortar.
Those walls are designed to breathe. Sealing them with cement render or modern paint traps moisture inside and causes far more damage than it prevents, so treatment has to work with the construction rather than against it.
We treated the roof timbers at Dobbins Inn here — a building with roughly 800 years of history at the heart of the town.
What we see most here
- Woodworm and beetle attack in historic roof timbers
- Damp in solid stone walls with lime mortar
- Wet and dry rot in older structural timber
“I recently bought a new house that had woodworm in the roof space. I contacted Radication and they were extremely helpful and sent a surveyor out within a few days to advise me on the best way to deal with the problem. They gave me a quotation which was very reasonable, and I got the work done. The technicians they sent were extremely neat and tidy and I was very satisfied with the work. I would have no problems recommending them.”
