Rising damp can silently damage your home, leading to cracked plaster, peeling paint and even potential health risks. At Universal Eco Homes, we offer expert damp proof course solutions across the Costa del Sol using trusted ProPERLA technology, designed to protect your walls, improve energy efficiency, and stop moisture in its tracks.
Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground is drawn up through your walls by capillary action. Over time, this can cause serious deterioration, affecting paint, plaster, wallpaper and even the structural health of your home.
In Spain’s humid coastal climate, rising damp is a common issue. If left untreated, it can lead to mould, heat loss, and poor indoor air quality – all of which can affect your comfort, health, and property value.
We follow a proven, careful process to ensure your home receives lasting protection from rising damp:
Choosing a ProPERLA damp proof course offers lasting protection for your home, and more than just dry walls:
We’re not just another damp proofing company – we’re a trusted, family-run team with years of experience and customer-first values:
EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Ian Ellison2025-08-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really help service with a very good team communication throughout, clean and tidy. David Jagroop2025-08-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Service and Quality from Universal Eco Homes I was recommended Universal Eco Homes by the product manufacturer as a Platinum Level Installer, and they truly lived up to their reputation. From my initial call with the company director to every follow-up with Jena, I felt well-informed and reassured throughout the process. Scheduling was a bit challenging due to holidays and the unpredictable December UK weather, but the team worked diligently to make it happen. The installers arrived promptly, communicated clearly, and were incredibly professional and friendly. They took great care to keep the site clean and tidy, being mindful of any mess during the installation. The results speak for themselves – the transformation has been amazing, and I’ve received numerous compliments on the finished product. While it was a significant investment, I believe it was absolutely worth it. If you’re looking for a reliable, skilled, and professional company, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Universal Eco Homes. Paul Kelly2025-07-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Used these guys for cleaning our roof of dirt and moss. Dave and Kyrin were fantastic, spending over 13 hours in one day to complete the cleaning (it is a big roof!). The next day they added a biocide coating and sealant. The roof looks like bee again.The ladies in customer service were great too. Highly recommend this company and will use again if the needs arise. Thanks.

The quality of the work was great and the team worked in a tidy and efficient way. Highly recommend them. Andrew Seth2025-05-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A very professional service. I had my walls coated and was so impressed with the work, that I then had my roof coated, both in Properla, changing the colour of the walls and roof tiles. The team were perfect and cleared up each day and then made sure all was left in a clean condition when the work was finished. I thoroughly recommend Universal for the work and also they were competitive in their pricing. Lesley Lee2025-05-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The guys were hard working and tidy. Disruption and noise were kept to a minimum. The loft was clear of rubbish and looked neat and tidy. Paul Spencer2025-04-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had been looking at having our Roof cleaned after seeing how our neighbours roof looked after theirs was cleaned. Therefore, when we came across Universal Eco Homes at the Norfolk Show, we arranged for a visit so we could have a quote for the work that was undertaken. A year later the price was still honoured and was just as easy and friendly to communicate with as per the previous year. The job was booked in and we are so pleased we used your services. We had various quotes from other companies, some higher and some lower, but being able to see what you offered at the show, and the various pictures of your previous work put us at ease. The roof was cleaned and the guys that did the cleaning could not help enough, and all the mess was cleared away. We have a catio at the back of the property and because some water had gone in there, they were more than happy to make sure that was left clean also. Furthermore, some of the cement that secures the edge of the tiles was previously cracked, and they also repaired this during the visit. It is so nice to have a company that do care and that is also same for the guys that came and undertook the work. The roof is so clean it looks brand new, and we have had many people comment!! Not only that, but another two of our neighbours stopped to ask for the contact details of your company. I have included a picture of before and after. The before was from a previous year, but it is clear to see the difference. Celia Dunn2025-03-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
