10 checking for woodworm in the loft
Posted 4 days ago
A surveyors report had highlighted possible woodworm in the loft. A house we looking at to purchase. Ben went out to assess the loft. Luckily their was no woodworm although two timber beams had been treated 2 years previous but had no spread to other parts. Ben did us a full report to pass on to our solicitor. he communicated very well and kept us up to date with visits ect. would highly recommend and will be using again should we need too.Verified reviewerJob location: DL2 10 Damp Proofing & Plastering

Ben was very reliable, he came exactly when he said he would and completed the work within the timeframe he had advised. He was very professional, he fully explained how he was treating the damp on my kitchen wall and found the source of the issue. I would definitely contact Ben again in the future if I had any further damp issues.Verified reviewerJob location: TS2010 Old fashioned great service
