    Damp Proofing Cardiff

    Posted 26 January

    I can’t recommend Chris highly enough for his damp proofing work. From the initial inspection through to completion, everything was handled with professionalism, care, and clear communication. He explained the issue in plain terms, outlined the options, and delivered exactly what he had promised earlier than quoted and to a very high standard. Chris was punctual, tidy, and respectful of our home, and the quality of his workmanship was second to none. He also went the extra mile to ensure everything was done properl It’s rare to find trustworthy trades people and I’d recommend Chris to anyone!

    Masonry Sealant

    Posted 24 January 2024

    Chris did a thorough job of surveying the damp in my property and explained a range of options as to how to deal with it. I opted to have the exterior brick work sealed with Storm Dry Sealant which Chris undertook quickly and thoroughly.

    Woodworm Assessment Visit

    Posted 23 October 2023

    Chris is an exceptional human! My Husband and I were left talking after he left about his integrity, enthusiasm and knowledge. He could have told us anything, and charged us a lot of money, but instead he gave us some sound advice, and only asked for diesel costs to be covered. He is a reliable and trustworthy person with a lot of knowledge and I cannot recommend him more highly.
