Damp proof course to small ground floor room. Applied externally with no need for internal work. Our interaction with the company and its representatives was flawless, from Fran as our first point of contact, Toby who surveyed and quoted for the job, and not least the three operatives who carried out the work. On time, efficient, and respectful of our property. A fixed price quotation gave comfort that there would be no surprises at the end of the work.

Wainscoting was removed prior to a damp proof course being injected internally below skirting level and the wall lined with an isotherm membrane before plastering. This entailed radiator removal, skirting and shelf removal and refitting.

We had severe damp issues in a unique building with structural challenges for the Company to try to diagnose, expose and repair. Part of the property is underground, walls are made of stone and one metre thick in some rooms. From their first approach, with the Surveyor and subsequent conversations with the Company, detailed plans were submitted on how they would approach the project. They were professional, helpful and inclusive in their plans and communication regarding timing for the project to fit in with our needs. On all levels from the administration through to the fitters they were first class. They have also provided a written guarantee to give us peace of mind regarding the job. We have no hesitation in recommending them.
