    Penetrating Damp Treatment

    Posted 05 May

    10/10 service

    Ben was very reliable, he came exactly when he said he would and completed the work within the timeframe he had advised. He was very professional, he fully explained how he was treating the damp on my kitchen wall and found the source of the issue. I would definitely contact Ben again in the future if I had any further damp issues.
