From tackling damp walls to chasing waterfalls!
The Nordic Damp Proofing team swapped their usual working environment for something a little different, heading across the border into Wales for a well-deserved team day out in the beautiful Brecon Beacons National Park (Bannau Brycheiniog).
Instead of damp surveys, plastering and property repairs, the challenge this time was a three-and-a-half-hour hike along the famous Four Waterfalls Walk.
With colleagues from our installation, surveying and management teams all joining in, it was a brilliant opportunity to get everyone together, enjoy the outdoors and have a laugh away from the usual day-to-day jobs.
And yes, for a company that spends its days keeping properties dry, we certainly picked a pretty wet destination!
What Is the Four Waterfalls Walk in the Brecon Beacons?
The Four Waterfalls Walk is one of South Wales’ best-known hiking routes, taking visitors through beautiful woodland, rocky paths and spectacular waterfalls.
The trail is famous for its four main waterfalls, including Sgwd yr Eira, where visitors can walk behind the falling water.
Our team spent approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes completing the hike, taking in the scenery, exploring the waterfalls and stopping for a few team photos along the way.
A few highlights from our adventure included:
- Exploring the incredible waterfalls and surrounding woodland.
- Getting the opportunity to walk behind a waterfall.
- Spending time with colleagues we don’t always work alongside.
- Enjoying some friendly banter and plenty of laughs.
- Getting outdoors and doing something completely different from our normal working day.
Bringing Together Every Part of Nordic Damp Proofing
One of the best things about the day was having people from different departments come together.
At Nordic Damp Proofing, our work involves much more than simply treating damp walls. Every successful project relies on people with different skills and responsibilities working together.
Our team includes:
- Surveyors – Investigating damp, mould and moisture problems to identify their underlying causes.
- Installation specialists – Carrying out damp proofing, timber treatments and property repairs.
- Management – Coordinating projects, supporting customers and ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Although everyone has their own responsibilities, we’re all working towards the same goal: helping customers protect their properties from damp and moisture damage.
Getting everyone together outside of work helps strengthen those relationships, making communication and teamwork even better when we’re back on site.
Why Are Team Building Days Important?
It’s easy to get caught up in the busy working week, especially when you’re travelling between properties, carrying out surveys and completing installations across the South of England and South Wales.
Taking time out together gives everyone a chance to recharge, get to know one another better and enjoy being part of the team.
For us, it’s about more than just a day off. Strong relationships between our surveyors, installers and management team help us deliver a better service to our customers.
After all, good teamwork doesn’t just happen on a building site!
From Waterfalls in Wales to Keeping Homes Dry!
We couldn’t visit the waterfalls without making at least one damp proofing joke.
Normally, when we see that much water, we’re trying to work out how to stop it getting into someone’s property!
Thankfully, the waterfalls were exactly where they should be.
Unfortunately, moisture isn’t always so welcome when it finds its way into homes and buildings.
At Nordic Damp Proofing, we help homeowners and businesses with issues including:
- Rising damp and penetrating damp.
- Condensation and black mould.
- Timber decay and wood rot.
- Water damage and moisture-related deterioration.
- Damp surveys and specialist property treatments.
With our services extending across the South of England and South Wales, our team is regularly helping property owners identify and resolve damp-related problems.
Back to Work and Ready for the Next Challenge
After three and a half hours of hiking, plenty of photographs and some tired legs, it was time to head home.
A massive thank you to everyone who came along and made the day such a good one.
We’re proud of the team we’re building at Nordic Damp Proofing, and days like this remind us that it’s the people behind the business who make it what it is.
Now it’s back to doing what we do best — finding damp, treating the cause and helping keep properties dry.
And we’re already looking forward to the next team adventure!
