Rising damp around chimley breast
Great experience, would highly recommend. Work needed was to fix rising damp around chimley breast. Had previously had a chemical DPC with another contractor, but hadnt fixed. Jim inspected and advised the best approach would be to tank the wall and then plaster over this. Work was done quickly and to high standard.Verified reviewerJob location: CM910 Damp Investigation

Damp Investigation
After the recent very wet & cold spell, my external back wall looked in a bad way with cracks in the render, peeling & bubbling paint, and bare patches where flakes had come off. I rang Jim to do a damp investigation & he came that same morning. He was very professional, knowledgeable & friendly and explained the situation & possible options to me clearly. Thanks to his advice & findings we were able to find a manageable way forward.Verified reviewerJob location: CM29.67 Condensation Control
