    Damp Survey - post work just to confirm remedial work done is sufficient.

    Posted 29 January

    As always Active Services were very quick to response to my query and to arrange a visit to carry out a damp review. They were very helpful and happy to answer any questions I had and to offer advice and reccommendations to help with managing and mitigating any future issues. No sales pressure and very professional.

    Damp proofing - rising & penetrating

    Posted 19 January

    The team from Active Services (Tavistock division) were 100% reliable and professional. The work was carried out with attention to detail and I am very satisfied with the completed works. The works were comprehensive in their scope and involved rectifying both rising and penetrating damp as found during the survey. The work was carried out both thorough and methodically and the site was left tidy at the end of each day. The finished plasterwork is also very good. A couple of small hitches were quickly addressed, leaving the job a complete success. I’m very happy and would highly recommend.

    Investigation and damp proofing of an internal wall with chimney breast

    Posted 15 January

    Toby came an provided a very plausible reason for the dampness we were experiencing and came up with a solution of injecting the wall stripping plaster and refacing to their specification. Comprehensive report (suspect some was standard paragraphs). Process was carried out in their agreed timescale. Happy with workmanship. So far it looks good but too early to report for longer term.

    Wall lining below ground level

    Posted 08 January

    Two walls of a garage are below ground level and have high hydrostatic pressure. The surveyor knew his stuff and the installation team likewise. Of particular note was the pragmatic approach of the installation team. They solved problems rather than sucked their teeth and said it wasn't in the quote. I'd happily recommend to others.
