10 Damp Investigation
Posted 01 June
Damp proofing
The service was excellent, from the initial survey right through to the completion of the job. Everything was clearly explained throughout the process. The men that did the damp proofing were friendly and I felt comfortable with them being in and around our house. They did a superb job to minimise the mess and cleaned up throughly. The contact with Sammi was excellent, both during and after the work. I would definitely recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: TF210 Damp Proofer

The work team arrived well prepared and on time each day. All the workers were very friendly, worked neatly and skillfully throughout. We are very pleased with the result. On completion they made a great job of leaving the work areas as clean as possible. I recommend them if you need damp proofing work doing.Job location: WV3Response from Damp Proofing Solutions
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are very glad to hear you had a positive experience. As an independent, family run business, customer recommendations are of paramount importance to us. Which is why we always try our hardest to deliver the highest standards of customer care, right through from initial enquiry, to the clean up at the end. Getting feedback like this makes our effort worthwhile. Thank you. It is very nice to be appreciated."

Faultless service from start to finish!
Had a complete damp course throughout the house. Luke came out to do the initial survey. He was fantastic from start to finish- really personable, professional and competent. He explained everything very thoroughly and ensured we knew/understood exactly what work was needed. Lee and the team who carried out the work are a credit to the company- really lovely and trustworthy people. They left the house very tidy once the work was done. Communication with the wider team (June and Becky) was also very professional and friendly. Absolutely cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you:)Job location: ST10Response from Damp Proofing Solutions

Excellent communications, information and workmanship
Excellent communications and information from the first phone call through to the completion of the work. Luke who came out to survey the property thoroughly explained what the damp problems were, and how they had been caused. He then guided me through what would be required, how this would be done, and how this would prevent an re-occurrence in the future. The 2 guys on the day of the work were polite, and very effective at containing the old plasterwork dust as much as they could, using clothes and floor coverings. The completed work was to a very high standard. Thoroughly recommended !!Verified reviewerJob location: ST5Response from Damp Proofing Solutions
Thanks for the terrific review. We are always delighted to hear from clients happy with the respect and professionalism demonstrated by our teams.
