Damp Proofing Services
At Davy Preservations we have always been at the forefront of damp-proofing technologies and treatments. Over 30 years ago my father Terry Glaister informed me of new form of damp proofing which had been invented by a man called Millford Snowdon. We were privileged he visited us in Ferryhill on a number of occasions in the 1970's to discuss us becoming his exclusive contractor for the North East area at that time.

We underwent a full training programme run by Millford himself which resulted is us becoming the first Soverign approved contractor north ofLleeds ' RENDERMASTER'. As far as i am aware i am the only approved contractor taught by Millford in person who is still trading in the Damp proofing business in the North East of England.
