    Basement Membrane System

    Brighton Damp Proofers were great to work with. They were respectful of my space and always offered reassurance and a professional perceptive whenever I had questions. I'm very happy with the end results and would highly recommend Rob and his team. Thanks again, guys!

    V satisfied with survey

    Rob completed a really thorough damp survey on a property i was planning to buy - it really gave me the information I needed. Communication was excellent and the fee was really reasonable.

    What does a guarantee even mean?

    Not happy with them. When pulling a cupboard out the way we found another square metre of damp, they charged me an extra £800 for that. Worst of all their damp proofing didn't work in the bedroom, the damp is worse than before. They want another £1700 to fix it after a charging £4900 for both walls. They promise a guarantee, god knows what they mean by that, there was not guarantee.

    Response from Brighton Damp Proofers

    We feel this review omits key context. The 4.9k covered works to the hallway, bedroom & lounge, including carpentry and electrics, not just ‘two walls’. We recommended treating the full bedroom wall but a reduced area was agreed due to budget. A cupboard being removed then revealed more damp, for which additional works were agreed (600 + vat not 800). We have since reinvestigated and found treated areas are sound, with damp in untreated areas due to window leaking above (we have offered to help at a reduced rate.) The lounge/hallway also have a 20yr guarantee. Happy to revisit and help resolve

    Emergency Damp Proofing Service

    Posted 24 June

    Damp in back bedrooms had to be remediated.

    Fred / team know what they are doing; progressing work with care and precision. Pleased with quality of work - they were flexible to quickly jump onto tasks/work as other issues presented themselves.

The team worked efficiently and were super friendly. They kept me informed about what work would be carried out each day and were happy to answer any questions I had along the way. The quality of the work was excellent - I'd happily recommend Rob and the Brighton Damp Proofers team.
