Advanced Preservations Ltd

We discovered a sinking floor near some suspicious paintwork in our hallway, and called Advanced Preservations out to take a look. They identified the problem in some damp, failing beams and carried out a very professional programme to remedy the situation, clearing out the unusable beams and damp underfloor mess, adding new beams and supports to replace the removed wood, and even improving the doorway airflow and exterior drainage to prevent the problem from returning. The price was not cheap but was entirely fair given the solid week of work put into fixing the hallway, and they were careful to minimise dust and mess. The team did an excellent tidy-up job at the end, and our hallway is now in a much safer condition and should remain so for years to come.

So glad we found this company and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Our Dental Surgery in a listed building was suffering a damp issue caused by sandstone steps and it was affect our equipment. We didn't know who to turn to. After making a few enquiries this company stood head and shoulders above the others. From the initial survey with Nick we were impressed by the attention to detail when explaining our options. We took a leap of faith and very glad we did. From start to finish Stefan and his colleagues were extremely respectful of the nature of our business especially as the practice remained open during the work. They ensured every inch of the adjoining surgery and surrounding areas were protected and kept clean and tidy, they liaised with our engineers when required in a professional manner as equipment had to be relocated. The kept noise to a minimum and there was very little disruption to our business. They explained everything they were doing along the way which was very reassuring. We are delighted with the results and are sure we will remain water tight for many years to come. If you have a need for this kind of service don't hesitate to call them you will not be disappointed.

Having previously used APL to fix our basement by installing a sump pump and membrane solution a few years ago, one of our internal walls in the basement developed a rising damp issue and was not part of the original solution. ADL as usual provided a very professional service, explaining options and the work that would need to be undertaken. This was completed whilst we were on holiday with no disruption to neighbours etc. Whilst not an inexpensive job, ADL recognised that some parts of the quote were not needed and adjusted the final invoice to reflect this. The overall process from start to finish was smooth with good communication from the works team.

First class service, from initial damp inspection to works being carried out. The problems where well explained remedied, the works carried out are to a high standard - and the finish of the plastering was exceptional!

The ATS team came in to fix a long standing damp issue which was causing paint damage and mould in my hallway. From the survey to reinstating my skirting boards I was very pleased with the knowledge, communication and skills of all the team members. When issues were found, options were discussed and I was able to feel confident in the decisions I took. It wasn’t an inexpensive job but I strongly feel confident that it was worth paying the ‘extra’ to fix in properly, once!

They proposed and completed a basement damp proofing remediation scheme at an acceptable price and timescale and dealt quickly with an initial fault. I am very happy to recommend them as experienced, efficient and competent specialists.

The work done was in our main living area so it was good to get it done in time with little delay All work and staff was/were clean and professional

We were recommended Advanced Preservations by two of our neighbours who had used them in the past. Dave came and did a thorough survey and made suggestions and didn't look horrified at the state of it! The team arrived promptly every day and worked hard. They parked considerately and were happy to repark when asked to do so. All the workers were experts in their field ie plasterer, electrician for the pump etc. Will definitely use the in the future for a French drain and will recommend them to all. Thank you everyone at Advanced Preservations! x

We had Advanced Preservations sort out a damp problem in two rooms in our house. We had been recommended this firm by friends and were not disappointed. The firm was very detailed in their quote for the job and the work was carried out efficiently. The workmen were professional, polite and tidy. They ensured that all furniture and floors were covered and cleaned up after work was carried out. They were on time each day. I would not hesitate to recommend this firm.

Advanced Preservations have recently carried out some external waterproofing and drainage works to remedy water ingress into our basement. We have been very happy with the service we have received. Dave, who carried out the survey and oversaw the work, has considerable expertise and was also pragmatic in his recommendations for dealing with the problem. The work was carried out in a very professional and courteous manner by all the technicians on site, particularly by Jimmy, and to a schedule which was adapted around our own commitments. The site was left clean and tidy when the works were completed. We will definitely use AP again if the need arises.
