    Penetrating Damp Treatment

    Posted 1 day ago

    Damp survey

    We were worried about some damp so booked a survey. The chap who came round was helpful and explained things so we could actually understand what was going on. Glad we had it checked.

    Rising Damp

    Posted 05 November

    Friendly team and a tidy job

    Had SecoMUR installed for rising damp. The lads talked me through what they were doing and what to expect while the walls dry out. Friendly bunch and left everything tidy. Happy with the work.

    Damp Investigation

    Posted 22 October

    Honest advice and no hard sell

    Had someone out to look at a damp patch and it turned out to be a leak. Glad we got it checked before spending money on damp treatment. Explained what was going on and didn’t try to sell us anything we didn’t need.

    Mould Control

    Posted 17 October

    Honest, Professional and Reassuring Mould/Damp Inspection

    Matt was friendly and incredibly professional when assessing the mould in my flat. He was honest and explained that I simply needed to replace the affected flooring rather than undertake expensive, unnecessary damp treatment. I really appreciated his straightforward advice and the fact that he wasn't trying to sell me services I didn't need. He put my mind at ease and potentially saved me a considerable amount of money. I would highly recommend this company.

    Damp rectification

    Really friendly team who did a great job and went out of their way to leave room / site tidy once they finished. The office team also deserve mention for their timely communication.

    Rising Damp

    Posted 02 October

    Damp proofing and plastering done well

    Had a damp proof course installed and the affected walls replastered. The team explained what was involved and got on with the work without any fuss. Really pleased with the plastering finish, and they cleaned up well afterwards. A good experience from start to finish.
