10 Penetrating damp treated & walls replastered
Posted 3 days ago
Aaron was fantastic and I would definitely recommend. He made contact with me very quickly after my initial enquiry and came to assess work the following day. He identified what needed to be done, which included taking the current plaster and tiles off the wall, putting in a waterproof membrane and re plastering . Aaron completed the work in two days as agreed and it was to a very high standard. The area was left clean and tidy and disposed of all waste. He also filled/plastered some other areas that were not part of the initial quote. Thankyou Aaron !!Verified reviewerJob location: WA1 - KKelly G

Job location: M18This man went above and beyond, re did 3 walls even though he was only meant to do 2. My 100 year old walls were falling apart and this legend came to the rescue. I’d recommend him again and again, sound guy- AAnthony M
10 Bedroom Plastering.
Posted 08 March
Job location: SK13We contacted Aaron to plaster the bedroom walls in our house. The job was carried out perfectly, Aaron got the job complete in two days which is great considering the size of the room and the condition of the old plaster underneath. Aaron also helped us with plastering a section under a plug socket on our landing at no extra cost which was much appreciated. Aaron was also very tidy and removed the rubbish after the job was complete. Also very kindly Aaron gave us a little fan heater to help out as we unfortunately suffered a boiler breakdown at the same time which left us with no heating. 10 Outstanding Work and Good Price

Outstanding Full Damp Proofing Work – Highly Recommended We had a full damp proofing job carried out and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. From the initial inspection through to completion, the whole process was professional, thorough, and clearly explained. The team identified the root causes of the damp rather than just treating the symptoms, and they talked us through exactly what needed doing and why. The work included a full damp proof course, associated repairs, and making good afterwards, all completed to a very high standard. The property was kept as clean and tidy.Verified reviewerJob location: M38

Hi we are Cromwell Damp Proofing and Plastering Services, a friendly family run business.
We aim to give a 100% professional friendly service and leave with a flawless finish.
We take pride in our work and are always reasonably priced giving full breakdown quotes for total piece of mind.
Unlike most damp proof installers who are only certified to install a chemical damp proof course with a partial guarantee and just want to cover your walls in a plastic membrane to mask the problem, we dig deep to rectify the underlying problem first.
One to note is most of the so called 'damp proofing companies' out there are not college or NVQ trained in any way and have simply attended a 1 day course which teaches them how to install a DPC cream only.
Any member of the public can do this.
We are certified damp proof installers and qualified plasterers so with us you receive a 'full guarantee' that both the damp proof course and replastering has been done to the very highest hard to beat standards.
We plaster the walls after we have installed the damp proof course, giving total piece of mind that we are giving a full guarantee for the damp proof course (DPC) and a full guarantee for the plastering too.
Our edge above other company's is rather than having three lots of tradesmen entering your home 1, damp proof course installer 2, plasterer 3, joiner to refit skirting we do the job from start to finish. Usually by the end of the job in hand you will know us quite well.
All our damp-proofing comes with a 10 year government recognized guarantee.
This is all you need to buy or sell a property when that dreaded survey highlights 'damp issues'.
Honesty is our trait, and if the works your asking for honestly cant be done, we wont do a quick fix and run under a pretense we've solved the problem only for it to come back some time later. We will advise you on what to do and simply help by pointing you in the direction of the adequate professional you need.
HISTORY:I first started damp proofing and plastering at 15.I attended Stockport college full time to complete a 2 year diploma giving me level 1 and 2 in hand plastering and construction knowledge.
I then worked for New charter housing trust primarily working along side surveyors diagnosing all sorts of damp, condensation and penetrating damp issues in void properties. Once the correct causes of damp were found I would get to work removing the plaster installing the damp proof course then re plastering the walls to a perfect finish. I also became an approved contractor to install damp proof course and give full guarantees for both damp proof course and plastering, it was by this point I went one step further and completed my level 3 NVQ in hand plastering and construction knowledge.
After new charter I left on good terms (still regularly do damp proofing for them) to become independent. Since then I have built up a large portfolio of builders and property developers who trust us to fix and treat all aspects of damp in their vacant properties. We also source and find our own jobs and have many returning customers.
Thanks for reading.
