    Dry Lining

    Explaining the process is very important.

    Great experience. The work was done on time and the workers were polite and pleasant to have around. As a Estate Agent business owner we will certainly be recommending Prokil.

    Damp Proofer

    Posted 14 May

    good, efficient, fast

    I recently used Prokil for a damp issue in my flat in Brighton and had a really positive experience from start to finish. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly without any pressure or upselling. They identified the source of the problem quickly and carried out the work efficiently and to a high standard. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and the property was left clean and tidy afterwards. Damp issues can be stressful, but Prokil made the whole experience much easier to deal with. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone needing damp proof

    Woodworm Treatment

    Posted 10 April

    Avoid for woodworm treatment

    I had booked Prokil based on all the positive reviews on here but have since realised these are for the damp works they carried out. We had an absolutely disastrous experience with them for woodworm treatment and replacement of damaged flooring. I would avoid them at all costs for this type of work. The initial work was so dreadful that they had to come back another two times in an attempt to fix the works. Woodworm spray was applied to furniture in such a way that it damaged the furniture, while Prokil paid for repairs some damage was irreparable. The work done was half arsed and sloppy.

    Damp Proofer

    Posted 05 April

    Highly recommend - trustworthy & quality workmanship. Customer service second to none.

    Prokil are superb. Simon is a fantastic lead - the guys working with him have a lot of respect for him and I think that shows a really cohesive and quality approach. From the top down, these guys know their stuff and do a great job. They did a super job of damp proofing a basement and came back to asses what we thought was an issue - but no - it wasn’t - however the guys from Prokil took great care and trouble to check every possible issue - their work in fact was flawless. I cannot recommend them enough and would always go to them again for their service and quality work. Great cust. service

    Damp Proofer

    Posted 27 March

    They work impeccably to a high standard & clear up constantly

    The Brighton Prokil Chief surveyor Simon Hetherton visited my home sometime in early November 2025 after an in depth, informative chat with David, their office manager. I liked the fact that they had a accreditation with The Property Care Association and clearly everyone emphasised the good working practices and that they would take good care of my home whist carrying out works to repair an internal wall damaged by water from a neighbouring property. They were abs. true to their word & George who carried out the job over 4 days was excellent. I would use Prokil again & recommend strongly.
