Add a New Revenue Stream to Your Business

Damp, condensation, mould and basement waterproofing create opportunities for tradespeople to add additional services to the work they already carry out.

Turn Your New Knowledge Into Another Service

The course is not simply about understanding damp. It is designed to give you practical knowledge that can be used as part of a wider property maintenance, building or refurbishment business.

Damp and condensation work can also give tradespeople opportunities to work indoors and throughout the year, rather than relying entirely on weather-dependent work.

You can be an experienced tradesperson or completely new to damp proofing — previous damp proofing experience is not required to attend the course.

✓
Work Indoors
Damp, condensation and timber problems are generally diagnosed and treated inside the property.
✓
