    Ambient Preservation (SMA Home improvement too) are fantastic!

    Posted 05 November

    Great company, work was done in the time frame they specified. Steve and Kev, the guys that carried out the work were personable, informative and kept me informed throughout the whole process and Dave is communicative and straightforward, which is most appreciated. Contractors that actually clean up after themselves are a very rare breed these days! (They also fixed the leaking sink trap in the bathroom without even mentioning it as I'd given up waiting for my property managers to actually do anything). 100/100.

    Excellent Team for Damp Resolution

    Posted 31 August

    Dave and his team were very responsive and clear about the work required. The surveyor, Tony, gave a great explanation about the work needed and provided an excellent report on the works to be carried out. The team that completed the work were very professional and clearly focused on producing a great finish - on time, great work and we are very happy with the outcome

    Damp proofing

    Posted 08 February

    Outstanding service from start to finish! The work was completed to a high standard, and the team were incredibly hardworking, courteous, and friendly. They cleaned up after themselves and kept me informed throughout the entire process. The job turned out to be larger than expected due to an issue which became apparent after the plaster had been hacked off on one of the walls, but they handled it seamlessly, making everything as stress-free as possible. I really appreciated how quickly they completed the extra work despite their busy schedule. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
