    Damp Proofing

    Posted 10 June

    Amazing work by Blackburn Damp Proofing. John explained in detail what work would need to be undertaken and the method his Company uses which ensures the damp will never come back! The work was to damp proof a very damp dining room and took 3 days to complete. Everything was left clean and tidy. I would have no hesitation in recommending John's company.

    Damp proof course and plastering

    Posted 18 March

    First of all before writing this review we have no connections with John or his damp course team. The purpose of this review is to give credit where it’s due and as far as we are concerned it certainly is well deserved. John came out to give us an estimate and advice. He called exactly when he said he would and gave us lots of advice and information, he is very easy to talk to. He sent us a quote and we accepted it and gave us a date when the job would be completed. John’s team arrived bang on 8.00 am and never stopped until the work was completed. We would highly recommend this company.

    Investigate reason for damp & repair

    Posted 07 March

    We were experiencing damp in 2 rooms but were unsure of the cause, It was immediately apparent that John knew his stuff - he identified lack of ventilation because of covered air bricks. Previous 'experts' had not explained why the damp was happening - just that they would repair - not getting to the root of the problem. The Blackburn team was great sorting this issue and rectifying the problems in the rooms, adding insulation, ventilation and repairing the damaged walls. The work was exceptional, thorough and tidy - everyone was professional and communication was good throughout.

    Rising Damp treatment and replastering

    Posted 09 February

    John's team had treated a couple of walls for us five years ago. Previous remedial work by other tradesmen had not solved the problem and the damp came back. However these walls have shown no signs of damp reappearing since Blackburn Damp Proofing treated them, therefore we had no hesitation in contacting John to deal with two other problem walls. Professional job done from initial contact to clearing up and quality of final plastered walls is excellent.
