    Thorough job with damp issue in underground room

    Posted 25 January

    Martin treated a damp issue in an underground room and was great. Very knowledgeable and explained very clearly what he was doing step by step. When we had an issue he was very quick to respond and help, (even on a Sunday!) which was very much appreciated. Did a very thorough job and went the extra mile with finishing touches. Happy to recommend.

    Damp resolution works

    Posted 18 December 2025

    We were very impressed with how promptly Martin responded to our initial query, he came out to review the issue and provided clear advice and scope of works. Those works have been carried out to a high standard and he left the areas of work spotless! I would gladly recommend him and his son for any damp related works that need resolving.

    Air Brick Installation

    Posted 05 November 2025

    Martin installed an Air Brick for us on short notice after removal of a vent cover showed one hadn't been installed previously. He was straightforward and professional throughout providing a quality installation at a fair price. Will definitely consider using him again.
