    Kitchen refresh

    Posted 29 May

    Ryan is great! He will eventually be replastering my whole reno house whether he likes it or not 😀 We had damp issues in the kitchen which he solved and then boarded and skimmed for a tidy finish. He knows how to communicate to laypeople and explain in detail what the options for your project are and his recommendation, and the reasons behind his recommendations. He gives detailed video updates if you're not there for him to talk you through it at the end of each working day. And importantly his workmanship is outstanding - our walls are looking beautiful!

    I had severe damp in my living room, Ryan was recommended by my neighbour, I couldn't be more pleased with the work Ryan and his team had done, they arrived on time every day, Ryan explained everything that they were doing that day in detail and they cleaned up each day, leaving no mess, Ryan's damp proofing and plastering is excellent the walls are so smooth and neat. Thank you Ryan and his team

    Second time using RB

    Posted 14 January

    Second time using RB Plastering and Damp Proofing, cannot fault them at all. Great communication, no fuss, gave a professional opinion and fair quote. Work carried out to a high standard, tidied up and left the site as clean as can be with damp proofing! Joiner also excellent. Would use them again if needed in the future 100%

    Damp proof course on my front, outside facing wall.

    Posted 27 December 2024

    I’ve been having issues with this wall, ever since I moved in. Even though previous DPC was done in the past, it was ineffective. It wasn’t done with the great standard that Ryan and Jon did it at. They were both amazing! The most pleasant and reliable tradesman I’ve had the pleasure to deal with, very courteous. They always responded to any questions or concerns I had.They told me what they were doing every step of the way. Also the job turned out bigger than they anticipated, my window sill fell apart due to damp, but Ryan didn’t charge extra to fix the issue. Thank you Ryan and Jon

Domestic WorkCommercial Work

RB Plastering & Damp-proofing Ltd has over 20 years experience in the plastering and damp-proofing industry. I am a CSRT trained damp and timber surveyor and also a qualified damp-proofing technician completed through the PCA (PCAQT). I am qualified to NVQ level 3 in solid plastering and also NVQ level 2 in dry-lining (suspended ceilings and partition walls). The company is a Wykamol approved contractor. Aside from myself I have two full time employees who have both completed, and passed, damp and timber technician training through Wykamol. All rising damp treatment is offered with a 20 year contractor guarantee as standard and I am able to offer insurance backed guarantees through a company called CGS. I am a CITB registered employer.


Areas I specialise in but aren't limited to:

Dry rot

Wet rot

Rising damp

Penetration damp



I have the most up to date equipment available (including thermal imaging) to diagnose the causes and sources of any type of damp in any home. The testing we complete is thorough and in-depth but in my view essential to obtain all relevant information to determine what issues are happening within your home. An inspection will normally take around 60 - 90 minutes to complete and discuss with a customer (possibly longer if a sub-floor void inspection is necessary). A full written report will then be sent via e-mail advising of the findings and recommendations of remedial works if necessary.
