    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.

    10/10 service

    Posted 05 May

    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.

    Ben was a delight from start to finish. Turned up when he said, competitive pricing, gave great advice and his workmanship was superb. Cleaned up afterwards too. We'll definitely be using him again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
