    Rising damp in livingroom and dining area

    Posted 4 days ago

    Darren and his colleague treated our home with great respect and consideration. They delivered exactly what they promised and the quality of their work is of a very high standard. They are both very professional and highly skilled workmen, reliable, very tidy and careful around the house. We have already booked Darren for damp proofing of our kitchen. Thank you both for an excellent job!

    Damp proof and redecorate porch

    Posted 23 January

    We had a single skin porch which was damp and cold. DFT quoted for the job and we decided to go with them. The job was done in stages as we had to wait for a concrete type coat to dry out, then a special plasterboard was added, followed by a layer of plaster, finishing with new skirting boards. Darren and Anthony were attentive, professional and hard working. Always consulting us if choices were required. They cleaned up at every stage, especially at the end of the job. The porch is now dry and warm. We are delighted with the results and wouild thoroughly recommend them.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my profile page.

I founded this company in 1997 after serving my time with one of London's Largest Plastering companies & working all over London before moving over with a large London based Damp Proofing company for a further 4 years, I then teamed up with a highly respected local builder for 4 years after and learnt the building and interior part from himself & his 30 years experience in the trade. I have 33 years experience in all aspects of Plastering, Rendering, Tanking, Damp Proofing, Rising Damp & interior & exterior building works.

There are 2 of us that work together, myself & Nathan. When I need extra help I bring in other professional trades. My customers always come back, recommend me to their friends & family. I'm extremely reliable, clean, tidy & fussy, I never leave a job until I am completely happy. My main aim is to have complete communication & understanding with the client & leave them with the highest standard of work that they needed to have done, after all it’s your money & property & the work must be right, do it once correctly & forget it.

All damp proofing work comes with a 20 year guarantee. I am a full Trading Standards Approved Tradesman

Please give me a call or send me a message, I’ll be sure to reply.

I look forward to hearing from you.
