I have recently tried to claim for recurrence of rising damp, but was told that Lectros was taken over by Wykamol in 1997 and they no longer have anything to do with the old company, and are not responsible for their work. The people who now own Lectros Guarantee Co Ltd have now dissolved the company. The 30 year warranty in not worth the paper it's written on.

Had another report done by an expensive but reputable company and they advise these sort of houses really benefit from electro osmosis treatment and is the best way to go. Injecting into old brick etc doesn't really work alot of the time apparently! It cost pennies to run and they offer a 30 year guarantee but lasts longer. The cost is £2.250 but if it is a long term home well worth it and without alot of mess hopefully. This quote comes from the midlands so don't know if it is more expensive down south.
Hope this helps good luck.
