Hi, my name is Eddie and I've been a plasterer for over 35 yrs, having been taught in Ireland by my father, a master plasterer with over 50yrs experience.
I've just re-joined Checkatrade after taking time off while waiting for a hip replacement.
I am a Certified British Gypsum plasterer and spent 3 years working for them as an assessor, checking and mediating on the work standards of plasterers throughout the UK.
This is what made me realise the amount of substandard work taking place.
The amount of SCAM RISING DAMP jobs I had to mediate on was SHOCKING.
In the VAST MAJORITY of cases, no chemical Damp course injection is needed.
Unscrupulous contractors are conning people in to have a DPC injected where it isn't necessary.
If you get a "diagnosis" of rising damp, please call me, I can almost certainly guarantee you the damp is caused by something else.
We specialize on the common damp issues suffered by the downstairs flats in the WARNER ESTATE
However, if you do insist, which we do NOT generally recommend, on a new DPC being injected, we can carry this out using the Dryzone from Safeguard method.
We cover ALL aspects of dampness and damp investigations including
Condensation, Mould and Insulation solutions.
Endoscopic camera inspection of cavity wall and underfloor issues.
Salt (Efflorescence) on walls.
Thermal imaging using an IR camera to pinpoint cold spots.
Chimney ventilation issues.
Drone roof/chimney/flashing surveys.
Temperature analysis to pinpoint cold spots.
FREE ESTIMATES AND ADVICE ON PENETRATING DAMP
We also carry out independent condensation and Mould assessments for householders, landlords or tenants.
To reduce your costs, we are happy to let the customer do any prep, or reinstatement works themselves e.g. removing damp plaster or refitting skirting boards where necessary, decorating etc.
I'm semi-retired now so happy to give advice over the phone where necessary, so please feel free to call.
I'm free to take calls between 8am till 8pm, Monday to Friday and between 10am till 6pm on Saturday and Sunday.
Call me, I don't bite.
Thanks
Eddie
