    I will always choose Prokil for damp work

    Posted 1 week ago

    I have used this company before and I would definitely use them again. Absolute professionals from first contact to finish. Very easy communication from a team of friendly people, who are obviously experts in their field. They work hard and to agreed time frames, and are very accommodating of their customers needs. Prokil have proved a breath of fresh air in my otherwise not so smooth and very stressful refurb project!

    Damp inspection

    Posted 07 December

    We are very happy with the level of service and informed professionalism of Prokil. In a nutshell: A job we’d feared was a possible serious damp problem turned out to be nothing more than condensation. Prokil’s surveyor, Dominic, did an excellent job. Could have sold us £1,000s of unnecessary work and we’d have been none the wiser. First rate company. Highly recommended.

    Excellent service

    Posted 12 November

    Fantastic service from prokil completing damp proofing in a basement bedroom. Completed to a really high standard and slightly beyond the initial survey/ quote without extra cost. Can’t fault the company and recommend them to anyone

    Exceptional service and attention to detail

    Posted 05 November

    I’ve had a damp issue in a rented property for sometime, the damp was in the bay window area of the bedroom. I contacted Prokil Brighton office and chatted through the issue on the phone with David Goode, their office manager. A survey was conducted and the work carried out by Luke. He was fantastic, did all the work alone and to the highest standard. He was super clean in his work, and left the property spotless.I’ve been involved the property business for over thirty years, I can honestly say the work carried out by prokil exceeded my expectations.i couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
