Exceptional Service and Outstanding Work from Start to Finish
From start to finish, the service provided by this company has been exceptional. Adam conducted the initial survey, thoroughly explaining the issue and potential solutions, making the process transparent and easy to understand. On-site, Alex and Ben were outstanding. They kept me informed every step of the way, maintained an impressive level of cleanliness given the nature of the work, and offered valuable advice on next steps, such as skirting and mist painting. It's not the lowest price solution here but it was the one with no-pressure sale; detail given on their specific damp-proofing solution; and fully responding to all my questions before we signed up, and throughout the work. The quality of work has left me extremely happy. While time will reveal how well it holds up, Alex made sure I fully understood the warranty terms and what to avoid to maintain coverage. To date, I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome and remain deeply impressed with the entire process. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Excellent service
I rang damp proofing solutions they was extremely professional the surveyor turned up on time.... I had the unfortunate news my house had dry rot. The work for treatment was arranged there and then for the next week, the surveyor gave me loads of information which was brilliant. The guy who did the treatment turned up on time and was super professional. The work was carried out and left everything ad they found it. Fantastic service all around I can't find anything negative to say about the company at all.

So relieved to have found a good service
Having had a nightmare with some damp work on another house, I was very anxious about dealing with this situation. I need not have worried. Adam, the surveyor was very professional, tested the wall carefully and explained the process fully. He was also available quickly when I had some further queries. Even so, when the day of the work came around I was still concerned about what the effects would be. However, Ben and Alex put my mind at rest immediately. I had prepared the room but they put up plastic sheeting to screen the rest of the room, then placed plastic all over the carpets. I popped in every now and then and they explained each stage to me. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the final plastering which was very smooth. Finally I imagined a nightmare of a mess to clear but there was nothing. All the rubbish was removed, the carpets hoovered and the kitchen floor washed. (They had to use the kitchen as I did not have an outside source of water). T. he outside pavement was also cleared of any debris. They explained the need to reattach the skirting board without nails. I could not have wished for two more pleasant people to have undertaken this work and can highly recommend the company from beginning to end.

Damp Proofing In Extension
Finding a reputable damp proofing company felt like a bit of a shot in dark, but thankfully we chose Damp Proofing Solutions based on reviews and location. All the work from beginning to end was carried out by DPS with a high level of professionalism and because of the clear depth of expertise we are confident that our damp problem is now solved. Everyone arrived exactly as agreed; the work was explained to us in an accessible and detailed way; everything was completed on time with minimal fuss and the price was reasonable. DPS is a long standing family business which clearly prides itself on producing high quality work and providing excellent customer service. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Highly Impressed
The initial survey covered all aspects of the work that would be needed to solve the damp problem in my kitchen along with the cost for carrying out this work and all this was clearly written into an email I received the following day. The workmen arrived on time, were meticulous in covering the floor area where the work was to be carried out and also draped polythene covering over the work surfaces and appliances. Very impressive. The workmen were pleasant, made a lovely job of the plastering and cleared all the rubbish away, even offering to mop the kitchen floor! The whole job was completed on schedule and to the cost agreed. I highly recommend Damp Proof Solutions for: the skill of their craftsmen, as a company that is easy to contact if you have any queries and who delivers a first rate service from survey to completion.

Done very quickly
I called DPS when I found damp in an upstairs bedroom; I suspect it had been developing for some time, but we hadn't noticed because no-one was using that room. They attended promptly, identified the problem and not only recommended a solution for it but also preventative measures in other rooms. They initially scheduled the work for a few weeks later, but the cancellation of another job enabled them to bring it forward to that weekend. The workers attended promptly, completed the job as agreed and left only a few bits of mess for me to clear up (which is inevitable given the nature of the work). The office staff were efficient in handling the invoicing process and supplying information on aftercare.

Damp Proofing Work
Damp Proofing Solutions were contacted by us in December 2023 as what we had thought to be problems from a water leak turned out to be one of Rising Damp, bad news! Once we had come to terms with the fact that remedial work HAD to be done we contacted DPS having found them via Google. Their surveyor Adam came out to visit and quickly and thoroughly identified the problems we had with rising damp to the walls and that of the floor. Able to give us a quote on the day we were happy to proceed. After that visit contact was maintained with Adam who as able to answer any questions/ queries we had and soon after dates were agreed for the work to proceed. Tom, Matt and Dave undertook the work over two days and were hardworking, professional, helpful and accommodating, explaining what they were doing and advising how best to go forward after the work was completed. Overall DPS were great to work with, friendly, helpful and efficient.

Excellent Job!!
Used Damp Proofing Solutions to identify and fix a problem with damp in our cellar. Initial impressions are important, and right from the first phone contact they were professional and courteous. We booked an appointment for a surveyor to visit and he turned up on time and once he had looked at the issues, took time to outline a solution and answer our questions. We had had similar quotes but how the work was explained made perfect sense. Having given DPS the green light we were given a date and an estimation of the time to be taken. Each day the guys turned up promptly at 7.30am and worked most days until at least 3.30pm. They were tidy and made very little mess even when taking sackfuls of rubbish out to the van. They kept us informed of progress and made sure we knew what was happening. Work was completed on schedule with no mess to clear up. Fantastic job completed on time and on budget with an excellent team.

We chose this company after reading some complimentary reviews, and knowing it's a small local family firm, which we always think is a good thing. Everything was done exactly as arranged and great care was taken to clean up when the job was finished. They even managed to salvage our skirting boards and beading so we can reuse them when the plaster has dried. Very pleased indeed, highly recommended this company if you have a damp problem.

Stuart did a helpful survey and we agreed to have vents fitted in five rooms. The two men arrived at the expected time and were hard-working, polite and pleasant. Although knocking holes in sturdy walls was potentially extremely messy work, they cleaned up very well as they went along. The finished vents are neat and inobtrusive. It is only a week since the work was completed but we are optimistic that it will be effective in significantly reducing the condensation problem in our home.

While decorating we discovered a damp issue in our living room. Contacted Damp Proofing Solutions, who came out and did an initial survey. identified a rising damp issue. They gave us a breakdown on what work was needed and how they would do it, to which we agreed . Work was started on time on the agreed date and everything was carried out as previously agreed. We were told from the start it would be a dirty , dusty job which it was but everything was cleaned and the house left tidy after the job was done. We had no issues and would happily use them again.

Peace of Mind
Yes, we had a big problem. Our plaster had crumbled to reveal brickwork. l called “DPS”. Adam Gatenby came within two days to carry out a survey. Oh yes! We had rising damp in our downstairs room under the bay window and penetrating damp in two upstairs rooms. Adam explained very precisely the level of work that was entailed and how it would be carried out. Any questions we had, he gave us thorough answers explaining the smallest detail, so that we understood everything. He did say that there would be a lot of dust. (There was- it got everywhere) The three men arrived so punctually every day. They had to remove skirting boards which they very carefully labelled and stored in our garage. All three were very conscious it was our home and went out of their way to explain what they were doing, to make everything easy for us. The completed plastering is exemplary and does blend into our existing plaster line, like glass. We have to say, they were such nice men. They worked - nonstop. When the schedule of work was completed, to the agreed time schedule, they vacuumed, tidied up, and hosed the driveway, removing all the waste. If you have a damp problem, there’s no point in waiting (we had) it will only get worse. One hundred percent without any hesitation we would definitely recommend Damp Proofing Solutions, to make your home safe.

Damp Proofing Solutions did some work for us at our home on 16th June 2023. I am very happy with the quality of their work. The team were very professional and well mannered and I felt comfortable leaving them in our home. They made every effort to ensure the place was as clean as possible before leaving by mopping and vacuuming - though of course, plastering does get rather dusty! I was really happy with both the initial consultation with Stuart, who was very informative, and the work carried out by the team following. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

From my initial contact with DPS, communication was prompt, friendly and helpful. Adam came for a site visit to assess a problem we were having with condensation and damp, he was thorough and very knowledgeable and proposed good solutions to tackle the problem. The appointment wasn't rushed, he listened and was more than happy to take the time to talk over the options. We opted to have two of the passive vents installed in two bedrooms, Tom who came to install these was also brilliant. Very polite, friendly, worked efficiently and was very considerate of our cream carpets, he left everywhere lovely and clean which was great after having some bad experiences with other less considerate trades. Can fully recommend!

We went with these guys as we knew their work was top notch from a previous job they had done, and that they would give quality and clean service. Adam the damp surveyor was polite and as informative as ever. Laid out the options and gave us a lead time. Later he contacted us with a slot that opened up and we were able to have the work done sooner than expected. The team arrived ontime and laid out sheeting from door to the room to reduce mess. The damp proof membrane was installed on a whole external wall in a bedroom and boarded with plasterboard in one day. The next day the boards were skimmed and made good with the walls the window and ceiling. I love that smooth, well plastered feeling on the walls. It's a shame to have to paint them 🙂 All good and very satisfied with the work. Thanks

Absolutely Fabulous
Having not managed to source anyone locally to carry out quite a substantial job Damp Proof Solutions popped up on my Facebook page and some of the posts about the handsome work force were hilarious and caught my eye. Amongst those were also some very useful complementary feedback posts about the quality of the work and the outstanding service provided by said workforce. The surveyor came over and although paying to have a survey done seemed a bit ouch - it comes off the bill should you employ them to complete the work. He was knowledgeable and very "chatty" and told me what I should and should not have done which I found refreshing from such a seasoned sales man. I bit the bullet and booked their services and then it was only a months wait to get the work done - they are really busy but don't hang around once they are on the job. I had cleared the area but living alone there were a couple of heavy items I could not manhandle alone but they soon sorted that with no moaning head scratching or mention of "not my job" very can do attitude when it comes to keeping customers happy. They kept my up to date on the progress, what they were doing and why so I understood the whole process. Nothing was too much trouble and they were so polite, hard working, funny and very friendly and apart from smooth shiny new walls giving the game away left the place nearly as they found it cleaning as they go. Feed them hot drinks and they go forever. Thanks Lads.

Plastered
We had an issue with our Damp Proof Course, there wasn't one so our Victorian terraced house had damp walls and Adam came out for a survey explained what was needed to be done. We booked them in ASAP and went away on holiday. Upon our return the damp plaster had been removed thixotropic DPC injected both horizontally and vertically, 2-part bonded membrane system installed, dryline with thermal insulation plaster to smooth finish to areas blending into existing plaster line. The guys did a great job with an amount of dust left behind, but not as much as we'd expected. All waste had been removed and rooms were left clean and now it's just a matter of letting it dry and decorate.

Hard selling of a single product solution
We paid for a 'survey'. The salesman ran his damp meter over the walls of our Georgian house and declared that in 4 rooms we would have to have the wallpaper stripped off, the plaster removed and replaced, bitumen applied and a plastic membrane, all at a cost of over 5 thousand pounds. He did not mention other approaches and his response to technical questions was that "I've been doing this for 30 years and it works." A subsequent survey from another Which trader suggested external water mitigation solutions and re-plastering as sufficient. He also felt that the damp meter was being thrown off by a metal foil applied to the first meter of the wall as damp went no higher than this. Damp Proofing Solutions appear to be charging for high-pressure sales calls not 'surveys' and not behaving ethically by only offering a single solution.

Total transformation in 2 days
The transformation of our entire internal side wall and back bedroom had been incredible in just 2 days. A team of 6 arrived promptly 7.30am as advised and worked tirelessly through day 1 to get everything ready for plastering on day 2. Tom & Luke arrived promptly again and have done a great job of making everything good again ready to decorate. Also the vent installations were done effectively with our preferences respected. This was a very messy job but they covered up, taped up all doorways and tidied up and took all rubbish away, which is appreciated to minimise the spread of dust, etc. All the lads were really pleasant and good fun, keeping lighthearted in the middle of a bomb-site, making it a very stress - free experience. We would gladly use the team again for work.

Air bricks installed in gable ends to increase ventilation
Based on reviews (internet, Which? etc) we selected DPS to assess our loft. To be honest, as the reviews were all so positive and similar, I was a bit suspicious. All our interactions with DPS suggest the positive reviews are well deserved. After contact, DPS said there was a £150 fee to provide a full verbal report, recommendation, cost and timing of works. The £150 fee is offset against works done. This was money well spent for us, because of the in-depth analysis provided, but this may not suit everyone. Their specialist, Adam, was thorough in assessing our house. He took numerous readings and gave a full outline of what was needed, which options DPS could do and what the likely outcomes would be. We went ahead with installing 2 9x6" air bricks in each gable end. Adam kindly arranged to do this quickly to fit our needs. Tom and Luke arrived at the time stated and did a superb job - as mentioned by others they are polite, tidy and efficient etc. They are excellent workers. The air bricks resolved our problem. At all times comms were excellent, even after we had paid and Adam was responsive to any points we raised. A written statement of works was provided afterwards. Overall, I rate this company very highly. Everything was done as and when stated to a high standard. Interestingly, our house was independently surveyed after and the surveyor stated this was the best option, and the one he would have recommended. This was reassuring. In summary, an excellent experience.

We had our hallway/ bar room and dining room inner walls injected and a 2 part bonded membrane added up to a meter high. This ended with a base plaster applied. We were very happy with the work, the 4 guys were industrial and informative to what was happening throughout. I would use their services again. All in all very pleased.

Damp proofing
I used the 'Which' web-site to search for companies to treat a damp problem I had at my property. After reading the reviews I chose DPS and I wasn't disappointed. Their service was very professional from the start to the finish. The surveyor came around and did an inspection of the area we suspected of being damp and confirmed that the wall was indeed damp and would need treating, he talked me through each step and explained in full the process DPS use and answered all our questions and at the end he gave us a fixed price, which I was happy with, so he booked us in for the work to commence on the 1st September for 2 days. DPS turned up at 07:30 am as arranged and set up, covering the floor with dust sheets and protective boards. First of all they removed the old plaster off the wall up to a meter high, then they applied their damp proofing treatment and put a base coast over that. All the waste was removed and cleaned up and they came back the following day to finish the re-plastering off. I can't fault their work, it was very efficient, tidy and finished on schedule, they even mopped the floor inside and outside before they went. A very satisfactory and professional job, I would recommend DPS to treat your damp problems.

Great service, great advice, great company.
Adam arrived on time and had appropriate PPE, so a good start! Our damp problem was in a dwarf wall, and after asking some relevant questions, using a damp-detecting probe, and examining a section of cavity wall I'd previously exposed, he quickly diagnosed what the problem was. Adam also offered some sound advice on what to do next - but none of it was to the benefit of his company. It was refreshing to deal with someone who clearly has the best interests of their customers at heart, even though on this occasion, they couldn't help. I would not hesitate to use this company again, and thoroughly recommend them to all Which? members.

Condensation very bad in the whole house
My wife picked DPS from the yellow pages and arranged for Adam Gatenby to come out and do a survey as we had very bad condensation on all the windows and walls in the whole house. Adam arrived at the time stated and carried out his survey and stated that we did not have enough airflow to reduce the condensation and we would need passive ventilation points in the major rooms, 8 in total. A date, time and price was agreed for the work to start. The team given the job were Lee and Mark Baker who arrived on time and explained what would happen where the passive ventilation bricks would go and why. They were polite,professional and carried out the work as described and when they had cleaned up you would not know they had been. Since the bricks have been in place we have had no more problems with the condensation and the walls and plaster are starting to dry out which is great. Thanks for all your work and have recommended you to some our neighbours who have the same problem
