The work was carried out quickly and to a high standard. Communication was great and Colin was really informative about what needed doing.

Chemical damp proof course

Steph was very responsive and arranged a free call-out and throughout the whole process Steph kept us informed about everything.
Colin came out and made a thorough inspection of the work and gave us a very detailed analysis of what was required. 
Colin and his team removed the existing plaster in both affected rooms and applied a chemical damp proof course and salt retardant treatment, then they applied a finishing coat of plaster.
All in all a first class service from Colin and his team and at a very reasonable price, I would definitely use Colin again and thoroughly recommend him.

Damp proofing in 2 rooms from a great professional company

Such a great experience. The entire team were polite and professional. Colin took the time to explain the type of damp I had and what needed to be done. They left the place so tidy afterwards too - and I got a 20 year guarantee that it won’t come back!

For once, a really good experience with tradespeople!! Highly recommend!

Colin came to investigate the damp and provide a quote, and remedial works were carried out within 10 days. Contaminated plaster was removed, chemical damp proof course and salt retardant treatment applied, before a finishing coat of plaster.

Damp investigation

We’ve had Colin & his guys here for 4 days carrying out damp proofing work to the front of our house. I can’t speak highly enough of him, Steph & the guys, very professional,  polite, reliable and extremely knowledgeable. Everything you would hope for when looking for a skilled tradesman, no need to advertise as all their business comes via recommendations, it’s the way it should be. Thoroughly recommended.🫡

Steph was very responsive and quickly arranged a free call-out. Colin arrived on time, even in the snow. He was professional, honest, and reassuring. After a thorough check, he confirmed the issue wasn’t serious and could be fixed with simple DIY steps. I appreciated his integrity — he could have charged for unnecessary work but didn’t. I even offered to pay for his time, and he kindly refused.

I’m grateful to have found such a trustworthy company and a genuinely kind professional in Colin. I’d happily recommend them and will use them again if needed.

Professional, Kind, and Completely Honest
