  • Honest advice

    10Verified Review

    100% honest advice - I would recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy, expert opinion. I have called Harry out twice over the years and on both occasions he gave me honest, free advice to solve the issues. On both occasions there was no need to quote for work to solve the problem, so he didn't. Thank you, much appreciated.

    Harry was very prompt and polite. He was very careful and completed the job to a high standard. Left the room clean and tidy and checked we were happy with his work before leaving. Priced reasonably. We were very pleased with the result and would use him again. Would recommend.

    10Verified Review

    Harry is very knowledgeable and was able (and willing) to offer lots of advice on how to minimise the damp in my terraced house. He completed the work in a timely manner and very reasonably priced. He is trustworthy and I felt confident leaving Harry alone in my house while he got on with the job. Really pleased with the end result and would highly recommend Harry.

    I contacted harry in July 2022 having read the good reviews. My cellar needs tanking, has flooded 3x, I am disabled, a wheelchair user, and unable to get down there myself. Harry knew this, and seemed to ignore my first message explaining the issue. A week later I asked if he'd had a chance to look at the previous message and the reply was. "I did look yes. Been busy". I asked if there was a better time for me to contact him, and he said he'd be in touch in Sept. I messaged in Oct and was told "I'm sorry, you could have messaged me again to remind me as i've got lots of other jobs to do"

Company info

I have been working in this industry for some years but now have the experience to run my own business. 


I can tackle and resolve all kinds of problems caused by damp including:


Penetrating Damp

Penetrating damp is usually caused by problems with your building structure or plumbing where a problem has allowed water to infiltrate the property. Problems with the pointing of your property, cracks in the brickwork, broken guttering, problems with the property plumbing, a down pipe that has become broken or possibly the results localised floods.

Condensation Treatment

Condensation is simply the moisture caused by everyday living that can cause real damp problems if left untreated. Moisture gets absorbed into the atmosphere of your property and when the property cools down the moisture condenses on cool surfaces. The result is condensation, an extremely underestimated cause of damage to our homes and is almost certainly the most common form of dampness within a building. Thankfully, with everyday living, there are solutions to the problem through condensation treatments.

Damp Coursing

Cheshire Damp Proofing offer a full damp-proof course service, as a horizontal barrier in a wall designed to resist moisture rising through the structure, a process known as rising damp.

A damp-proof membrane (DPM) performs a similar function for a solid floor. Moisture resistance is not necessarily absolute: it is usually defined by a specific test method, limits, and engineering tolerances. In simpler words, DPC is used to stop dampness in buildings.
