10 Fitting of a specialist condensation unit
Posted 20 April
We thought we had a rising damp issue so looked into damp specialists and Cedar Preservation came up. They came out to survey the problem and concluded that the issue was due to condensation. We received the recommendations and a quote for fitting a specialist condensation unit in the roof space. The fitting only took a couple of hours which included putting a vent through the landing ceiling. They were very clean and tidy with no dust left from the drilling. Our electrician connected the power later that day and we haven’t had any condensation since.Verified reviewerJob location: BA21 9 Very good , efficient and helpful team

10 Woodworm treatment
Posted 05 February
Job location: BA20They arrived on time and inspected the loft for woodworm. I felt they gave an honest opinion so agreed to have the work done. They told me what they would do to protect all the stuff in the loft. Again they arrived on time and were very careful to keep the carpets on the stairs and landing clean by putting down sheets. When they had finished they hoovered the floors. 10 Timber preservation

10 Woodworm treatment
Posted 28 October 2025
Job location: DT9After finding woodworm in our garage roof timbers, we posted the job online. Cedar Preservations were quick to reply ( along with other companies). They sent a competitive estimate via text and agreed to do the job asap. They arrived promptly as arranged and carried out the job very efficiently. We would definitely recommend this company.
