Damp proofing section of living room wall
10Verified ReviewRichard was very professional in all aspects of the work he carried out. He was on time, explained what needed to be done and what we needed to do in preparation. In carrying out the work he was very tidy, clearing up as he went along, keeping the dust and mess to a minimum. We were really pleased with the finished replastering of the wall. Thanks Richard for a great job. 👏

9.75Verified ReviewRichard viewed the problem in the house and suggested a PIV unit. I wasnt sure, and asked many questions which he answered without any fluff or waffle. He fitted this and cleared up any mess that was made leaving everything better than before the work was carried out. I can honestly say that I didn't think this unit would make any difference, but how wrong could I be? Not only has the condensation gone, but the air is so much more clearer/fresher/cleaner to breath. Sometimes it's good to be wrong!

Location: B23Mould and Condensation Issues
10Verified ReviewWe had black mould in our bungalow. We were also experiencing wet windows, damp wood flooring and mould on the back of the wardrobes. Richard came to investigate. He diagnosed the issue was condensation/ventilation related and recommended a Positive Input Ventilation (PIV) system. He stated that once fitted it would start to eliminate our problem. One was fitted, it took a few hours. There was no mess or disruption. The next day the windows were dry and the air in the house felt fresh and better. I would highly recommend Richard to diagnose and solve your damp and condensation issues.

10Verified ReviewWe asked Richard to come out and help with some damp/ condensation issues in our new property. Very knowledgeable and talked us through different options, no pressure - price very reasonable and performed in good time to a high standard. Even cleaned up well too. Thanks again.

10Richard was the only tradesman I contacted who took time to visit my property, explained work required and quoted for the work. He was prompt, punctual and when delayed, he called me to explain why. Thoroughly recommend him and his work. Mess and debris cleared away and he vacuumed too. No hesitation in using him again.
