Stop penetrating damp. Keep your home warmer, drier, and protected.
Damp walls don’t just look bad — they waste energy, damage your home, and make it harder to stay warm.
Barbican BB025 Professional Masonry Water Repellent is the invisible shield that stops penetrating damp at its source. With up to 10 years of protection, it keeps your walls dry, your home warmer, and your maintenance bills lower.

Penetrating damp can be caused by:
-Leaking roofs or damaged flashings
-Cracks and gaps in external walls
-Blocked gutters and downpipes
-Poor construction
-Porous building materials
