    They did the job in 3 days. Left everything reasonable tidy considering the job. Radiator leaked but they came back and fixed it.

    Replace joists under floorboards suffering wet rot and woodworm. Treat timbers and walls.

    Posted 30 June

    Neil gave a free, no obligation quote, indicating the problem and remedial action required. He kept me updated on when they do the job and turned up as planned. He worked issues identified with a freely suspended wall, removed and replaced all joists. Improved the ventilation and treated the timbers and walls. He worked hard and quickly with Ian, causing minimal disruption to myself. A thoroughly well done job with a guarantee for the work. I was pleased that I went with Valley View Plastering and Damp Proofing.

    We needed damp treatment in the hallway walls and were keen to get it sorted quickly so we could start decorating. Neil at Valley View Plastering and Damp Proofing got the job done really quickly and efficiently. Great service and would definitely recommend!

    Damp survey inside and outside of the property and a report.

    Posted 11 June

    Neil was very knowledgeable and told us exactly what was wrong and broke down what we would need to do and roughly when too. He also gave us a rough estimate of the cost of everything. Although he sent the report a week later due to app issues. When the report was sent it was very concise and from it we were able to see what we needed doing and why and also an exact cost for each bit of work. Thank you Neil🙂

    Rising damp remediation to both walls and flooring

    Posted 14 March

    Neil and his team did a first class job in our property, involving both damp proofing our walls and floors, and plastering the surrounding walls. The site was always left clean and tidy, and I would definitely recommend him and his team. Great work
