  • Damp course on 2 internal walls

    9.5Verified Review

    Very professional, identified the cause of a slightly strange damp patch halfway up an internal wall (related to a blocked old hearth). Undertook damp course treatment, left the house clean and tidy and walls nicely plastered.

    Mark is very knowledgeable, honest about what work is needed and a good time keeper. He communicated clearly what the job entailed and how it would solve the problem. He and his team were respectful of the property and extremely tidy throughout the three day job (originally estimated at four days, so it was lovely to come home and find the carpet back in place a day early!). Mark and his team have done a brilliant job of fixing the damp for us. Highly recommend!

  • Ventilation units fitted in large community hall

    Mark was really helpful in identifying the issues with condensation and quick at sending an estimate through for the work. It was very easy to communicate via email. We were delighted with the results and Mark and his son did a great job installing the units and tidying up after the job. Mark was able to offer an additional passive vent as a courtesy as the budget constraints would not enable the purchase off all the vents needed. Fantastic service - would definitely recommend Southern Specialist Treatments.

Company info

Here at Southern Specialist Treatments, we are family run and owned. This helps us keep a close relationship with our customers and work with them to find the most suitable damp control and timber preservation solutions. 

Our approach starts with a free survey under taken by either Mark Stoner or Nicholas Stoner, this allows us to discover and identify the current problem you are experiencing. (We can also diagnose issues you are experiencing by providing us with photos).

One of the issues we commonly find are other damp and remedial companies trying to make customers problems fit their range of solutions, unfortunately this approach often results in unnecessary remedial treatments and continued problems. 

We offer our customers more than just standardise damp-proofing and timber treatment, for example we like to keep buildings as they should be and we are heritage lime plastering experts, modern gypsum plasters are one of the main causes of damp in older properties.

Putting our customers at the centre of what we do has been a corner stone and driving force helping us grow, In-line with other remedial damp proofing companies we have started charging to attend home/site visits and to provide estimates. This is to cover high fuel charges and travel costs.

This cost will allow us to diagnose and provide an estimate diagnosing the problem your property is experiencing and we will offer advice on the most effective way to remedy the problem. This will then allow the information to be passed onto your builder for him/her to carry out any works required or if you accept our estimate then the charge will be refunded against these works. No Job to big or small.
