Wet Rot in ceiling joists
Customer Service
Quality
Value
A structural engineer inspection revealed that we had wet rot in the joists above our bathroom. They held up the floor of the flat above, so two properties were affected. We could not refurbish our bathroom until the problem had been treated. I rang round a number of firms. Some were very expensive; others did not return my calls. AG Damp Solutions did and appeared reasonable, even discounting 50% of the cost of the initial report if treatment was subsequently undertaken. I had been warned that some of the firms specialising in this area created unnecessary work and expense. Wet rot does sound scary and expensive, but AG Damp Solutions made an inspection and submitted a report within a week, reassuring me that the problem was not horrendous and that treatment would fix it. I had to find a contractor to expose a section of the joists and bolt on new joists to the old after a day's treatment by AG Damp Solutions. The work was done quickly and at a reasonable cost, with a guarantee. I would recommend this firm to anyone.

So impressed

I had issues with damp walls for a while and contacted so many companies that firstly were charging a fortune just for the inspection and secondly they were very expensive. I then found Avant Garde which had lots of good reviews. I was very impressed with the work they have done. Firstly the report shared after the inspection was very detailed and that gave me a lot of confidence. Secondly, It is always a daunting experience to remove plaster and redo it and I thought it would be a nightmare to clean afterwards. But I have to say that not only the walls look so smooth now but the house was left spotless after the work. I am sure the damp issue has been sorted and I also got a 20 year warranty. I would highly recommend Avant Guard

Damp Proofing Work to bay internal & external window area and internal chimney
Customer Service

I needed damp proofing work done to my front internal and external bay window and the internal chimney stack. This work included tanking, plastering, increased subfloor ventilation, and creating a French drain for added protection. The survey process was similar to the other companies we asked to quote, but the thing that stood out about Avant Garde was their attitude and the clarity with which they explained what work they recommended. The whole process was very simple, and they kept to time on all the work. The workmen were polite and very efficient, and it was reassuring to have Ben on-site to answer questions. The work on-site was backed up professionally and efficiently by Chrissy in the office. I would confidently recommend the Avant Garde team for their all-around knowledge, professionalism and quality of work.

Basement Flat Damp-proofing - short notice and cares a lot
Customer Service

Ben and his team completed a damp survey and subsequently a damp proof course on my basement flat. I wanted it completed before I moved in and Ben managed to fit me in throughout January. Ben was very helpful from start to finish, from creating a very comprehensive damp survey report - through to completing the Damp Proof work that he quoted on. There were a few problems that Ben identified during the treatment, but he let me know immediately and explained the different options available to remedy them (the joys of old properties!). I'm happy with the end work, and Ben has even helped with questions that I've had since the work finished. Would recommend.

Very helpful and efficient solution to our damp problem

Just as we put our house on the market we found that we had a big damp problem underneath the lounge floor that needed attention. Ben and his team gave us a competitive quote and then started work almost immediately. They kept us informed every step of the way and did a thorough job of getting rid of the damp and ensuring it wouldn't come back. They also helped with extra jobs such as the finished flooring and some electrical problems they found along the way. I would highly recommend this local company, because they clearly care about getting the customer back up on their feet again and putting everything in the house back in order.

Perceptive diagnosis of all damp issues with the flat including the discovery of considerable dry rot which had progressed into supporting ceiling beams etc. Contractors very helpful and considerate and carried out extensive work at short notice on a tight schedule. Workmanship excellent and recommended other specialists for necessary extra refurbishment work.

We had an issue with penetrating damp to several walls. Ben organised a damp survey and provided a clear plan of works. The works were completed within the timeframe provided and they were great at protecting the floors and clearing up afterwards. The bill was as in line with the estimate. Would definitely recommend to others.

Ben and his team were superb. Their survey was very detailed and helpful. It gave a clear picture of the work required to solve my damp problems. The communication from Ben via Email and phone was very quick. His work was carried out to a high standard and the re-plastered walls look great. I was fully informed throughout the process and am very satisfied with all aspects of their work. I highly recommend Ben and Avant Garde Damp Solutions.
