Cure damp under kitchen floor.
Kevin and son Darren started on time on the agreed date and worked hard to complete the work to my schedule. The work itself was done skilfully, and we're now confident that the long standing problem caused by the poor quality workmanship of the house builder is fixed. A good company to deal with, and I'm happy to act as a reference for them.

Wall tie replacement, front and back of Victorian terrace.
Work carried out as described. I appreciated the 'can-do' attitude when problems of access to rear of property encountered. Kevin also did some minor repairs to fill in holes under roofs eaves without making an additional charge.
