    Happy customer

    Posted 3 days ago

    Very happy with this company. Prompt, polite, did good work and cleaned up afterwards. Also, they did not default to the industry standard “damp proof injections”, fitting and fixing air bricks.

    Entire wall stripped, damp proofed, re-plastered

    Posted 04 July

    We had Stuart and his team over to do a large job over the last three weeks. Working with Paul we decided the best course of action would be to strip the wall back to brick and then damp proof/re-plaster. We also had some windows replaced and our porch was gutted, water proofed, insulated and then re-plastered.l plus other small jobs. The guys were fantastic, never got in the way and kept everything clean and tidy. They worked very efficiently and explained everything really well to keep us informed. They were also a great bunch to talk to and really friendly. Tip: get plenty of milk in!

    Damp proofing, chimney removal, new floor

    Posted 03 May

    From the start the team were professional and knowledgeable giving me confidence that they would do a good job. The chimney removal was dirty and dusty but the lads did their utmost to provide plastic sheeting to minimise the disruption. The dry rot was removed and area treated and tongue and groove floor was laid. The floor looks great. Having been nervous about getting the work done, I'm so glad I chose this company.
