    damp proof 5 walls

    Posted 04 October

    David and Greg were reliable and professional. David carried out the survey promptly and communicated the scope of the required work clearly. Greg carried out the work tirelessly, efficiently and went beyond what was required. He cleaned up properly at the end of the job, leaving my flat tidy. I highly recommend this company.

    Lower Floor Damp Proofing and Renovation

    Posted 28 September

    Up Top Down Below damp proofed and renovated the entire lower floor of my flat consisting of 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and did a great job. I moved out while the work was being done and the communication was great. David was quick to respond. I got photos showing the progress on a daily basis and calls to talk through any issues/decisions. David and team even went out and sourced some of the bits I could get remotely. I returned to a really well finished tidy flat.

    Waterproofing and bathroom renovation

    Posted 28 July

    Bathroom and entry hall required complete waterproofing and then renovation. Communication throughout was great, David was quick to quote and get the job in the diary. Greg was the man on the job and was knowledgeable, listening to my needs and giving advice. It took longer than was originally quoted but understandably things crop up. I wanted someone who could manage the job from start to finish and they did that. Would use and recommend.

    David was great, very clear and friendly and his foreman Greg who carried out the work was efficient. They communicated well throughout and were really helpful when suggesting what should be done. Would definitely go to David again.

    Damp Proofing Lower Ground Floor

    Posted 05 May

    Having called David to quote for the works necessary to our property, we found him and his team to be very friendly and approachable. The job was completed in line with timescales originally given to us with regular daily photos taken and shared for our records. All questions were promptly answered and our property was cleaned each and every day to leave it spotless. Highly recommend and will definitely contact David should we need his services again.
