  Damp proofing to chimney walls

  SM Preservations undertook internal damp proofing work to three chimney walls, including the removal of a large volume of fitted furniture which was covering one of the affected walls. Team were professional, punctual and worked incredibly tidily considering the mess generated! Stephen was on hand to answer questions and resolve any issues that arose. Project completed exactly within timeframe proposed.

  Penetrating Damp Treatment

  Posted 12 September 2025

  Repairs to damp in external wall

  I requested SM Preservations to address a damp problem in an external wall of my property. They carried out a detailed inspection and identified the cause as cracking in the external render that was permitting rain penetration. They repaired the cracks, removed the damp-affected internal plaster, installed a dampproof membrane, and replastered the wall. The team from SM arrived punctually, were very respectful of my property and its contents, and carried out the work to a very good standard. I am very satisfied with the result and would fully recommend SM for carrying out work of this nature.

  Investigate and remedy internal rising damp problems

  Stephen was thorough in his initial investigation and explained everything clearly to me. The work was scheduled and the team arrived promptly, carefully protected flooring and screened other rooms to minimise the movement of dust. The work took 5 days and the team arrived promptly each morning and worked solidly, quietly, and tidily until the end of the day. All rubbish was removed from site and the area left as clean and tidy as possible ready for the next stage (decoration). All of the team were excellent and expert and happy to explain to me what they were doing and why.

  Damp survey and remedial works

  We had a great experience with SM Preservations. They were very professional, responsive and accommodating throughout the work that they did for us. The team were very friendly and we were very happy with their punctuality and standard of work. Their communication was great throughout and they were very reliable. Would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to get a damp survey and any damp proofing done.

  Dampproofing and replastering of chimney breast pillars

  Obviously only time will tell that everything is good, but right now I really couldn't be happier with the work done. Stephen was super helpful and informed when he came round for the quote. Their pricing seemed fair. The guy who came to do the work was great, very polite and friendly and on time. The room was as tidy as it could be afterwards and the work looked good. It's always a bit of upheaval to have work done on your home but they really made it as nice as it could be. I will be very happy to ask this company again for any future works.
