Would highly recommend the team at Advanced Preservations. From the initial enquiry, survey report and works carried out they have been very professional and efficient. They carried out the work in my absence, keeping me updated and sending pictures at each stage. Big huge thanks to all those involved.

Efficient and courteous staff

All the staff I dealt with, from Mark the surveyor and Chris in operations to Matt, Wippet and Neil who undertook the work in our house, were efficient and courteous. They all did what they said they would do on the date and in the timeframe they said it would be done; in particular, they left the place clean and tidy when they had finished the work. The final cost was as the original estimate in spite the unforeseens because of this being an older house. I am not normally one to write reviews but my experience with AP has been excellent. The proof of the efficacy of the work will come in the winter! AP were recommended to me and that recommendation has been fully justified; as I did not seek any alternative quotations, I cannot make any comment about price but in every other sense, icluding peace of mind, the service provided by AP represenets excellent value.

We were worried about a damp patch on our wall and called in APL for advice. The surveyor assured us that the problem was not as serious as we had thought and advised us of the work required. After a long wait for another builder to do the job, we returned to APL. It took a while to arrange a date for the work but when the date was fixed the job was carried out with professionalism and we were kept informed at every stage. Thank you.

These days it seems everyone asks for a review, often for just fulfilling an agreed order, and I rarely respond. Our experience of APL has been different. From the initial survey report right through to the completed solution, we have been delighted with the professionalism & service of the APL team - really exceptional. They merit a great review.

Damp Proof Course and ACO Drain

Advanced Preservations recently did some damp proofing and fitting of a small length of ACO drain for us. Over the past twenty years they have done various works for us. Some have been quite simple, but other work has been quite significant. They are always pleasant and easy to work with, and the work is done to a high standard. Just as importantly, in a 'mature' house like ours, any building work, once started, is likely to throw up an occasional surprise and Advanced Preservations have always taken this in their stride, dealing with any issues in a flexible and fair way.

A Flooding Garage!

Our garage kept flooding every time it rained and was starting to damage the walls and our belongings. We called Advance Preservations to see if they could help. From the beginning, the service provided was very professional. They explained clearly what work was needed, which was to build a water drain system, tank the walls and how each step would be completed. It was fascinating to watch. Clearly each of the members of staff are really skilled at their part in the work and they all made it stress free and tidy as they worked. They were all lovely and friendly and answered my questions as the job went on. The finish on the rendering is so smooth! Really impressed and so happy with the finished result.

Damp in Garage

Guys who did the work were excellent - polite, informed me of progress and what was happening, left site clean and tidy. Task - tanking part of garage to prevent damp and water entering. Proof that solution has worked will be in the winter months if there are no signs of dampness in that corner of the garage. Thank you a great job. PS I have no idea of going rate so hence 3 star rating on value. I was just extremely pleased to get the work done and more or less on time.

A ship is only as good as it’s Captain and I have to say that your crew were amazing, from the young lady who answers the phone to the very patient floor replacer, Neil, they only showed me courtesy and patience. Nick the surveyor is an absolute gentleman, professional reassuring, just what a pensioner with anxiety problems needs. The plasterer was mesmerising and worked like a true artisan, tidying and cleaned up beautifully everyday. In this day and age such a team behind you must be very reassuring as they were for me from the day they started. Everything that you put in your contract you stood firmly by. I appreciate it all.
