Advanced Preservations Ltd

We have used Advanced Preservation twice. Once for a basement, waterproof tanking, and also put a water pump in. The other time was for outside, drain away, taking slabs up and relaying. From start to finish on both jobs Advanced Preservation have been excellent, tidy, always reliable and kept us informed at different stages of the jobs and kept to schedule. I cannot recommend them enough and I will always use them in the future.

Advanced preservation has been servicing our sump pumps for the last 4 years. They always do a honest job and I would definitely recommend them!

I wanted to say how pleased I am with the damp remedial carried out recently at my home. Paul did a great job with installing the damp course and plastering work and he was a pleasure to have in my home. Likewise Ollie did a brilliant job replacing the skirting board lovely young man. I was very comfortable having both of them working in my home both good representatives of Advanced Preservations.

I have always returned to Advanced Preservations, after the need to find an experienced, reliable local Company, when I had major problems with groundwater flooding, several decades ago. A pump system was installed, after careful listening and appreciation of my concerns, due to my small Grade 2 Listed cottage, which has no Damp Proof Course. They quickly came to solutions for the unusual site. All the staff who carried out the more complicated work than usual, were cheerful, very hard-working and a pleasure to have in the house. The pump system saved me from flooding a week ago, after the latest 'named' storm, which flooded many in my village. Over the years I have called on them for dry-walling work, after some damp was revealed; and recently (2023) to resolve ongoing problems with condensation. I recommend the Company at every relevant opportunity. for the excellent, careful work, on site and in their efficient Admin. Office, where inter-personal skills are immediately appreciated.

I was recommended the company and first impressions were good. I had a survey carried out to determine the cause of the damp and felt happy with this being a thorough exploration. I subsequently received a report with recommendations. Unfortunately since then the communication has been very poor. I have being trying to finalise the recommendations, I have sent emails, made calls requesting a call back and emailed the main office, all with no response. I am left with holes in my bedroom floor from the investigation works and have lost faith in works being resolved.

I contacted AP to address a water ingress issue through a concrete garage roof and terrace. Nick was great to work with and designed an excellent solution. The work team (Jimmy, Van and many others) who implemented it were professional, cared about their work, communicated well and were a friendly bunch of guys. They also relaid the tiles on the roof and implemented a more appropriate drainage system. We now have a sealed garage and a great looking terrace. No more mould and tools going rusty in the garage. Thanks, AP!

We've just had some damp proofing works completed by advanced preservations. The initial survey and quote was very detailed and was clear about how much the price would be. Paul came and did the work to a very high standard over 2 days, always kept us informed on progress and left the place spotless once finished. We would recommend advanced preservations to anyone looking to have damp proofing works carried out.

We used Advanced Preservation to rip out a failed waterproofing system in our cellar and reinstate a new system, making the room for to use as a gym and a utility room. From start to finish there was great communication with the company and all of the guys we had in the house were a pleasure to deal with and always left the house tidy at the end of the day. We are really pleased with the work and relieved that we now have a watertight cellar.

We struggled to find any company with the expertise to waterproof our cellar until coming across Advanced Preservations via Google. They provided an initial survey of the basement free of charge which included a plan to knock down dividing walls, build a drainage system and install a John Newton Type C cavity drain membrane system to provide Grade 3 level of waterproofing protection to the retaining walls and floors in accordance with BS8102. The only cost prior to confirmation of order was a physical dig of four holes though the floor to check the depth of the foundations and floor (£230). The work commenced within 4 months of commissioning and completed 6 weeks later to our complete satisfaction. Staff were friendly, accommodating and very thorough. When problems were uncovered as they invariable do, their specialist advice was invaluable. Our basement has been transformed from a cold, damp storage area into a well insulated and warm games room for all the family to enjoy and added great value to the house. We couldn't be happier with the result.

Advanced Preservations gave an excellent and skilled service at every stage of my dealing with them. The problem was with serious damp in the front wall of a house built in 1907. From the initial survey to completion, the company showed knowledge and expertise. The price was reasonable and the work was done to budget and speedily. All the tradesmen were pleasant and courteous. All took the greatest care to keep the hallway and room where work was being done as clean as possible, and left it spotless at the end. The office staff were helpful throughout. Each tradesman did an excellent job. Special thanks to Gary who did the preparation, Darren the plasterer, a real professional, and to Neil the carpenter who produced an excellent finish. I would certainly use this company again, and thoroughly recommend them. Thanks to all.
