We had a survey done in our loft to identify what works needed to be done. Damp Defence were very knowledgeable, and very quick in being able to get the works booked in and completed. Arrived on time for job, and work was done to a brilliant standard. Would definitely recommend Damp Defence to anyone who may need this sort of work done.

10 Mould/Damp Survey
Posted 19 February
A mould issue sprang up in my first home not long after I’d moved in, and DampDefence were the highest rated company in the area. The surveyor was very professional, was very knowledgable and was very helpful regarding my problem. All in all I’d recommend DampDefence for anyone sadly suffering from moisture issues in their building.Verified reviewerJob location: CO1 10 Professional damp specialists
