John and his team were fantastic ! Such a relief to find someone who knows what he is talking about, the £50 consultation fee was worth every penny. John explained the cause of our damp issue and what was required to resolve this. The lads who carried out the work were great! Very polite, hardworking, left everything really clean and tidy on completion. A massive thank you to John and the team.Verified reviewerJob location: TS16Response from Blackburn Damp Proofing

Had mould removed from ceilings and around window frames , expanding foam and new plastic trims added to window and more loft insulation added to perimeter of loft. John came out and identified the problems straight away. The 2 lads that came to do the job were great ,polite and hard working they just got on with it . The quality of work was great the bedrooms look much better and they left no mess they were so tidy.I would certainly recommend this companyVerified reviewerJob location: TS19Response from Blackburn Damp Proofing

Great company! John got back in touch with me after I had enquired about a survey to be done on a property I was going to buy. He then carried out and sent me the survey within a few days, the company then completed the rectification work straight away with no hassle or waiting about at all. The lad who came and did the work on the house was spot on, got to work straight away and didn’t leave until he was satisfied the job was done right. Thanks again lads 👍🏼Verified reviewerJob location: TS7Response from Blackburn Damp Proofing

Having been told by another damp proof company we needed work doing, we sought a second opinion from John. He was responsive, friendly, helpful, and HONEST. He found no evidence of damp and confirmed no work was needed. His call out fee was nothing compared to what we had been quoted, not to mention the disruption of having unnecessary work done. This was the best £50 I've spent :)Verified reviewerJob location: DL2

Can any other company say that?
We have completed over 2000 damp jobs, and NO damp has returned.
We are not salesmen and are always doing our best to save our customers money by providing honest advice and finding the source of the damp problem.
As a company we have a lot of knowledge in this field and can guarantee to find the root cause of your damp problem.
When comparing comparison quotes, please ensure that all companies are estimating for the same process.

The latest trend is companies using a foil backed plasterboard.
These are all short-term measures and do not solve the damp indefinitely.
We provide an honest assessment of the damp and use the correct products and procedures to ensure the damp will never come back.

We are currently a team of 5 but are looking to increase our work force soon. I plan to grow the business through apprentices. This way I can train the apprentice to my standards ensuring that a quality job is produced every time.
Thank you.
