What sets us apart?

Protection from penetrating damp

Treatments create a barrier against rainwater absorption while allowing suitable masonry to remain breathable.

Weather and moisture protection

Protective coatings help shield brick, render and external walls from rain, moisture and changing weather.

Suitable paint and coating systems

Finishes are selected for the surface, its condition and the level of exposure.

Preparing external surfaces for protection

Surface preparation is essential to effective exterior protection. We remove loose or failing finishes, prepare sound surfaces and address necessary repairs before applying paint, masonry cream or another coating. This also helps identify cracks, damaged pointing and defects that may contribute to penetrating damp.

Maintaining walls and external finishes

  • Rain protection: suitable coatings can help external walls cope with regular rainfall.

  • Moisture control: we address surface defects that may allow water into vulnerable areas.

  • Surface maintenance: regular checks help reveal peeling paint, cracks and deterioration early.

  • Property care: maintained external surfaces support the building's condition and appearance.

  • Practical repairs: surfaces are prepared and necessary repairs completed before finishing.

Exterior painting for weather resistance

Exterior painting is not only about appearance. A suitable coating can provide an additional barrier against rain and everyday exposure. We assess the substrate before selecting a paint or waterproofing system, because brick, render, mortar and concrete have different requirements. Regular maintenance can also reveal peeling finishes and cracks before they develop into larger moisture problems. Get in touch to learn more about our services.

Northeast Damp And Ventilation exterior protection

Northeast Damp and Ventilation provides exterior protection for homeowners and landlords who want to maintain properties and limit penetrating damp and weather-related deterioration. We combine careful preparation, necessary repairs and suitable masonry waterproofing or flexible coatings based on the building. With more than 30 years of experience, we focus on straightforward workmanship and practical property care.

Our exterior protection services

Preventing penetrating damp

Our masonry waterproofing cream penetrates brickwork, mortar and concrete to create a colourless, natural-looking water-repellent finish. A single-coat application can help waterproof masonry while supporting breathability and energy conservation, with durability of up to 20 years where suitable.

​

Protecting brick and render

For appropriate rendered and masonry surfaces, a flexible microporous coating can bridge fine cracks and move with the substrate. The referenced Extra Flex Masonry Paint is formulated with modified acrylic resin, stretches by up to 400%, resists peeling and cracking, and is available in a range of colours.

​

Enhancing property appearance

Alongside protection, exterior coatings can refresh tired facades and provide a clean, consistent finish that improves kerb appeal.

Our solutions help prevent penetrating damp, protect brick and render, and improve your home's appearance. Our treatments create a barrier against rainwater absorption, preventing damp from entering your walls and protecting the interior of your home. 

 

Our Masonry Waterproofing Cream is a robust, deeply penetrating water-repellent cream designed to safeguard masonry against water damage. It penetrates brickwork, mortar and concrete before curing to a colourless, natural finish that can endure for up to 20 years. The treatment waterproofs masonry while allowing it to remain breathable and provides energy conservation and durability through a single-coat application.

Protecting brick and render

We apply specialised coatings that help shield brickwork and render from erosion, cracking and discolouration, extending their lifespan and maintaining structural integrity. Extra Flex Masonry Paint is a flexible masonry paint suited to exterior masonry, roughcast, pebble-dash, brickwork, cement and concrete rendered surfaces. Its modified acrylic blend creates a flexible microporous coating that moves with the substrate where conventional masonry paint may split. It stretches up to 400% on exterior walls to help prevent cracking and peeling while providing a smooth, long-lasting finish. The paint can bridge hairline cracks and can also be used as an anti-carbonation coating to help prevent concrete from spalling.

  • Highly flexible – stretches up to 400%

  • Fine crack bridging for a smooth finish

  • Microporous – will not peel or crack

  • Smooth low-sheen finish available in a range of colours
