Preparation before and clearing up afterwards was very efficient. Excellent advice given on possible additional measures to prevent future problems. Work gang pleasant & helpful and supervised by the very affable Ben.

Ben and his team were a complete pleasure to work with and great from start to finish. From explaining what was needed in detail, to not pushing the most expensive option and even giving advice about areas outside the scope of the brief. The work started and finished exactly when they said it would and is to a really high standard. I would highly recommend them - they've even managed to go some way to restoring my faith in builders!

I had a major damp problem which was treated by another company several years ago but the treatment failed and was not honoured under their guarantee. I contacted Ben who, or very short notice, organised a comprehensive survey which identified the failure by the previous company and also included photos and a breakdown of the required damp course and tanking work, time scale and their costs of the work to be carried out. His team were punctual, polite, very clean and professionally finished the job exactly as per the schedule and quote provided. They covered all furniture and carpets to prevent dust and stains and tidied up daily and removed all rubbish at completion.The rendering and skimming to finish was smooth and exact. I was very pleased with the workmanship and find it refreshing to find a tradesman who does what he says he is going to do and there were no hidden charges. Great job Ben! highly recommend his services.

Ben and Kosty did a fantastic job refurbishing a challenging bathroom which had been badly damaged by damp. Even for the substrates that will be covered, they used good materials and done properly to lay a solid foundation for lasting quality. They thought details through and worked very efficiently, patient and creative at problem solving. They are neat and tidy, everyday clean carefully after work and rubbish has been carefully put into many bags & neatly stored.

Dry rot to damp courses and the best service you could hope for

The Avant Garde team have been brilliant in both their approach and execution of complex work. Communicating what to expect, providing clear pricing and always service with a smile. Work began in 2014 after discovering dry rot caused by an old leak in the utility room. Ben staged the work in order to swiftly address and contain the problem whilst fitting in and around a busy moving household. This work covered 3 ground floor rooms and when the extent of the problem was clear, Ben and the team helped convert this into an opportunity. At a later stage a separate issue relating to ground drainage and rising damp meant an chance to work with the team again and they didn't disappoint. Ben found a solution that his competitors large and small had been unable to solve - how to introduce internal wall insulation to solid walls without compromising window profiles or creating a damp hazard. Brilliant! Beautiful plaster work as well as a further job to repair and replace the external plinth to the rear of the house. Ben deserves every success and the best clients.

Ben and his team gave advice for additional work needed on the flat roof before he could resolve our internal damp wall. The advice was free, the roofer recommendation was excellent and Ben returned to free the Chairman's wall of damp and mould and put it in pristine condition. We have had no recurring damp problems since. Ben is friendly, knowledgeable, diligent, tidy, considerate, good value and we can highly recommend him and his Avant Garde Damp Solutions' team. Excellent job.
