    Damp proof membrane installation in our basement

    Posted 06 June

    Excellent, professional service throughout, from the surveyor coming to assess the required works to the workmen carrying out the work itself. Very tidy and caused minimal disruption. Prokil also installed a stud wall in our lounge, which was also carried out very professionally.

    Professional and trustworthy

    Posted 24 May

    Prokil have done a couple of jobs for me (2018 and 2022) and I can't recommend them highly enough. I trust Simon completely, not least because he has been totally honest about what work was and was not needed, giving much appreciated advice where it was not necessary for his company to carry out work, which wasn't the same from other companies who quoted. The work was professionally done by the team and finished to a high standard, all left clean and tidy. All communications superb and David and the office team have all been very helpful, even years after the work was completed. A pleasure.

    Damp was presenting in the basement.

    Posted 20 May

    Very professional whilst being easy to chat to. Unhurried in explanation and answered questions in a clear, concise way. Work carried out efficiently and again they took the time to explain what had been carried out. Would not hesitate to use them again.

    Damp survey and exterior work to property - ACO drain installation

    Posted 09 May

    We had Prokil Brighton carry out a damp survey and some exterior work at our home, and we were really impressed. The team was friendly, efficient, and turned up on time. They worked cleanly and left everything tidy, making the whole process easy and hassle-free. A professional and reliable company—would definitely recommend to others.
