What customers are saying

AI-generated from customer reviews over last 24 months

Home Building and Surveying receives praise for their professional, efficient service, thorough surveys, and friendly teams who ensure minimal disruption and a tidy work environment. However, some customers have reported issues with unresolved damp problems, potentially unnecessary service recommendations, and poor handling of complaints, as well as instances of property damage during work.

    Damp investigation

    Posted 2 days ago

    I’m really happy with my damp survey. The service was smooth, the service exceeded my expectations, and everything was handled professionally from start to finish. Would definitely recommend to others and wouldn’t hesitate to use again!

    Quote for damp repair

    Posted 5 days ago

    He came to give a quote for two small damp patches but pressurised me into letting him test the whole ground floor. He said the whole ground floor had rising damp and it would cost 3900 to fix with injectable damp proofing. A few days later I got an independent damp and timber survey, which revealed that this was false and there were only two damp areas. Was also very rude and patronising and used high pressure sales tactics. Avoid.

    DMEV fan installation

    Posted 5 days ago

    We recently had Home Building install three DMEV fans at one of our rental properties after experiencing issues with condensation. They did a great job, and we’re pleased to say the problem has now been fully resolved.

    Rising damp

    Posted 05 June

    We had rising damp in several rooms, and this company came highly recommended. From the initial survey to the final finish, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The team explained the process clearly, turned up on time, and left the house spotless. Since the treatment, we've had no issues at all. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone dealing with damp problems.

    A very thorough damp survey

    Posted 02 June

    We had a thorough and professional survey carried out by this company, which clearly identified that the issue we were concerned about was actually due to a leak and not damp. Really appreciate their time and expertise.
