    Colin explained everything on the initial visit for the quote and Steph got us booked and managed the visits. Communication and workmanship were both excellent.

    10Verified Review

    Colin and Steph are a credit to the industry. Turned up on time for both appointments, survey and remedial work. Identified problem and explained fully what was needed at a fair price. Courteous and friendly at all times (copious amounts of builders strength tea helped). Would use again and highly recommend for all damp/condensation works.

  • Damproofing walls in kitchen.

    10Verified Review

    Colin was a thorough tradesman. He arrived on time carried a thorough inspection of the property and answered all questions. He recommended tanking the kitchen and gave a full quotation. He arrived on time again to carry out the work which was completed on budget and on time. He even made recommendations on paint finishing. I don't normally say what a pleasurable experience tradesmen give but Colin gave an immaculate service.

  • Excellent service

    10Verified Review

    Great service received from initial contact, through to receiving the quote. Colin came out at no charge to assess the work and gave an honest opinion which was great to receive. Should we require the work to be done I would get the work done by this company.
