    From Shabby To Chic

    Posted 25 April

    Gary’s knowledge and advice led us to proceed with a thermal coating for our bungalow which had bald patches and weathering of a previous old coating. Dean and Charlie were the team that attended and both were friendly, polite and hard working. Their aim was to make sure we were happy with the outcome, which of course, we are!

    Damp caused by outside wall

    Posted 20 April

    We recently had work carried out by Dean after a damp survey by Gary in our kitchen. The problem was quickly identified - our outside wall was damp and this was made worse by bushes which were growing up the side of the house and even within the brickwork. The remedial work was quoted for and completed promptly and efficiently with minimal fuss and Dean left the area neat and tidy. Gary was quick to respond throughout. We would highly recommend this company!

    Great job completed on crumbling rendering on damp course.

    Posted 17 April

    Rendering around the around the bottom of my house was beginning to crumble - approx 2ft high by 30ft long. Also had damp appearing on an internal outfacing wall. Gary attended and provided clear and concise details. Gary clarified that was no actual damp in the external facing wall - and suggested a solution for both that I was happy with. Dean attended and undertook the work, internally and externally. Both Dean and Gary were professional and personable. Pleased with the outcome and the professional looking finish on both jobs. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
