    Efficient, hard working and reliable

    Posted 30 October

    I thoroughly recommend this company. They were efficient right from the initial phone call. Everyone turned up when they said they would. Everyone was very pleasant to deal with and explained what they were doing. The work rate and attitude was firstclass. Highly recommended.

    Great staff on site, disappointing aftercare from management and support staff!

    Posted 22 October

    The Bournemouth office dealt with my damp proofing. Insufficient staff after the first day to complete the job on time, so as a result the job was not completed as per agreed quote, and it ran over. However, the staff who worked on the job were lovely and could not be faulted, it was the management/planning of staffing levels that let them down. Original skirting put back with hammer and nails, again probably time saving, and new skirting does not match existing. I am covered by my guarantee, but unhappy with follow up service after voicing my concerns about the work.

    Response from Prokil Damp & Timber Specialists

    Thank you for your review, Betty. We’re pleased you found our on-site team friendly and professional. We’re sorry that parts of our management and aftercare did not meet your expectations. An unexpected staff absence affected the schedule, but we took prompt action to complete the work, kept you updated, and offered a goodwill refund to acknowledge the variation in the chimney breast work. We appreciate your feedback and have reviewed our planning and communication to improve.

    Excellent team and company!

    Posted 29 September

    Andrei was super responsive when I was let down with an urgent Damp and Timber report. He literally made the visit and did the report within 20 hours. We chose to go with Andrei and ProKil and we weren’t disappointed . The demolition guy was so tidy and made such a good start. The plasterers were obviously messy doing the job but left the place very tidy and cleared most of the initial settled dust post works. We had a slight issue with small leaks on the radiators but Andrei ensured they were all immediately rectified and fixed. Great guys great company and such a good job!

    Fireplace damp proofing

    Posted 28 September

    Good communication, flexibility in timing, friendly workmen, dust sheets provided, left reasonably tidy ready for decorating, proactive in identifying additional minor works (underfloor vent installation) to prevent future damp issues

    Efficiency

    Posted 21 September

    Highly recommended, work was carried out on time ! Very polite at all times . The work that was carried out on my property was to exceptional standards. Would like to say thank you . I recently had damp proofing work carried out on my property and I’m extremely impressed with the service. The survey was thorough, the quote was clear and fair, and the work was completed efficiently to a very high standard. The team worked tidily and with great attention to detail. I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone needing damp proof treatment.. 5 stars for these guys
