    Very disappointed dissatisfied and angry.

    Posted 6 days ago

    Kevin quoted £4,000 to damp proof about 7 meters of lower ground floor walls in my property. He came, removed the plaster without protecting the premium wood hard floor we have, and making a lot of mess. He left me with walls that are not straight, to the point I cannot put back the same skirting boards, and he has broken over 10 sockets by removing them without any grace, losing the screws and various parts. I have now an over £500 electrician bill to pay. But of course Kevin is gone to do his damage somewhere else. Avoid him.

    Damp proof problem

    Posted 02 December 2025

    Kevin did an amazing job sorting out a damp problem over a three day period having to remove all the plaster on part of the wall back to the brick in the dining room and putting a damp course on one of the lounge walls from outside, before Kevin left each day everything was cleared away and left tidy excellent service would highly recommend.

    Excellent job from a friendly and pleasant organisation

    Posted 30 September 2025

    Kevin came over to sort out some wall dampness which did involve work outside and inside. He did a wonderful job- plastered wall inside looks just great. As he was working on the wall where the dampness was a little section of the wall nearby came away. No problem and no issue, this was also rectified. A very neat and tidy job and all debris & rubbish was taken away. I would 100% recommend Plasterhawks...

    I had damp issues in the kitchen and one bedroom of my house. Kevin came to my property and checked the issues at no extra charge. He did a great job, has excellent customer communication and completed his task on the agreed upon day.

Welcome to our Checkatrade page and thank you for taking the time to look at our details.


Plasterhawks are an experienced damp proofing company, a family run business offering quality advice and services.


Please see our website for more detailed information and pictures. www.plasterhawks.co.uk


We specialise in the following areas:


  • Damp Proofing - Solutions to fit all Damp issues. Rising Damp and Penetrating Damp.
  • Condensation - Consulting service giving advice to reduce condensation
  • Mould - Consulting and specialist cleaning service

Rising Damp - Chemical Damp proof course (DPC)


Rising damp is when moisture is absorbed from the ground into the walls, by capillary action through the pores of the masonry seeking a means of evaporation.


All new houses are built with a Damp proof course (DPC) which forms a barrier against the moisture rising.


Older houses

however may have been built without a DPC or over a period of time may have become defective.


A new DPC can be installed creating that barrier against moisture.

Penetrating Damp


Penetrating damp is when rainwater is penetrating through brickwork, this can happen if the mortar in the brickwork has become brittle and loose or the bricks themselves have become very porous over time, defective guttering etc.


A water repellent coating can be applied, this will allow the bricks to still breathe and repel water.


Condensation Control


Condensation occurs in cold weather when warm humid air cools on contact with cold surfaces like external walls and windows and in places of poor air circulation such as corners, behind wardrobes and cupboards.


These are ideal conditions for black mould to grow and will grow rapidly if not addressed.


Solutions include:


· Consulting with homeowner/tenant on simple methods to reduce condensation/mould

· Use of Dehumidifiers

· Positive Input Ventilation

· Passive Vents

· Anti Mould Paint

· Specialist Cleaning Services


We pride ourselves in offering a prompt, efficient service and are always conscious of our customer’s needs.
