Lancashire Damp Proofing Ltd

I was worried that one of the outside walls in my kitchen was damp. I spoke to LDP on Friday and an appointment was made for a survey to be carried out on the Monday morning. Lee arrived on time, listened to my concerns, examined the wall both inside and out, took readings from the wall and measured the relative humidity. I had been worried that it was going to be a big job to rectify and cost a lot of money but the wall was dry and sound inside and out and the problem was condensation - easily remedied by cracking open the window/door to allow an air current and running the dehumidifier I was already using. I cannot recommend LDP highly enough. No attempt whatsoever to sell work that didn't need doing. Thank you Lee.

From initial contact with Lancashire Damp Proofing Ltd, receiving a quote (no hard sell) then agreeing commencement date - it all went smoothly. Contact was maintained with Margot, very helpful lady. Workmen arrived early in the morning of agreed date, work carried out with no problems, they cleaned, tidied and removed all rubble and rubbish. I was left feeling satisfied with the high quality of work the polite men did. I have no compunction whatsoever in highly recommending Lancashire Damp Proofing Ltd.

This company was highly recommended to me by a friend and I certainly wasn’t disappointed. They did a great job and were very helpful and reliable. Won’t hesitate to use them again with any other issues with my house.

I can't recommend Lancashire Damp Proof highly enough. It was an excellent service from start to finish. The workmen were courteous and efficient and left everything clean and tidy upon completion. Overall an excellent service.

We can highly recommend Lancashire Damp Proofing for their excellent work, communication, and efficiency. Lee and Margo responded quickly to all our queries, and the team who carried out the work were efficient, polite, and professional. Many thanks.

The team turned up when promised and finished on time. They were very knowledgeable and helpful and polite. They completed more work than originally anticipated and were very thorough and explained what they were doing. The price did not increase. Very clean and tidy. Dust is expected when taking plaster off but they did their best to minimise it. I can’t fault them at all, very well done.

Contacted this company having been unsure about who to trust with damp issues. Ours turned out to be a simple issue that can be easily fixed. However, the knowledge, patience, honesty and quality of information provided by Lee was amazing. His understanding of my parents individual circumstance was warming. If we do require additional help or work. We would without doubt use the company and recommend to anyone else. The information received from Margo was in a timely manner, easy to understand and when in contact was extremely polite, helpful and also informative.

Excellent job done by Ben and Liam, polite and professional. Prepped all areas to protect carpets and cleaned up after and took all rubbish away. Quote was done quickly and efficiently and all staff lovely and helpful and answered any questions. I would highly recommend. We have paid for the optional 10 year guarantee but obviously hoping all fixed and we will not have to use this.

Had some damp issues in the bay window which we knew we needed to address when we bought the property two months ago! Found these guys on the web …. Didn’t not charge to come out and assess the problem - which other companies wanted around £200 to send a surveyor out despite having the survey report and already pretty much knowing what the issue was! A date was put in the diary for next month and the guys came and did the repair in 2 days as agreed! The team who came were absolutely lovely and explained issues with the wall and how previous repairs had added to water issues etc … which made sense. Obviously, it was a dusty process but the guys covered everything and to be honest, pretty much cleared all the debris and as much dust as they could and left everything else exactly as it had been originally !! Nice guys …. Great company - hopefully will not need in the future but would definitely use again …. Thanks

Kevin and Josh arrived in the dark about 8:20 and never stopped all day until about 5:15 and left in the dark,the job was fully explained to us and all the furniture in the kitchen,back room,and front room, was covered and protected on arrival.the job went smoothly from start to finish. Good to see professionalism on show,also a mention to the lady in charge of the poulton office Margo,who couldn’t have been more helpful.Thank You

The company were very easy to deal with. A survey came and highlighted what work would be required. This was followed by a quote clearly highlighting the costs with photos indicating the exact work to be done. The work started early on the exact day the company said they would and finished exactly on time. The guys were very professional and friendly and took an obvious pride in their work. The guys knew exactly what the job was. They went through the work with us and carried out thorough prep work to protect our home. On completion, they carried out a very thorough clean. The work was carried out within the quoted price. We were very pleased with the standard of the work It would be lovely if all building companies were so easy to deal with.

Recently moved into a new house which required a damp proof course on almost all walls downstairs. Survey didn’t take long to arrange. Ben & Liam carried out all the work to the highest standard. Really nice lads who turned up on time everyday and got straight on with the job. They were able to explain exactly what they were doing throughout the process which filled me with confidence. Reliable, trustworthy and would definitely recommend, no job was too much for them.

The problem with the damp around a chimney breast has been ongoing for some time. Had someone else look at it, but no confidence they knew what they were doing. Lee from Lancashire Damp Proofing came punctually and explained the problem and solution clearly. Two young men, Liam and Ben, arrived early on the first day and immediately got to work. They were both very polite and helpful. They were joined by Kev and Josh who remained for the following two days. - again really helpful and explained things to me. They worked really hard and left the room so tidy - even putting my carpet back in place. Margo in the office was also helpful and friendly. I am really pleased with the outcome (and feel as confident as I can be at this stage that the problem has been solved). I would highly recommend this firm. Thank you so much.

We had a visit from this firm. The gentleman arrived on time , very polite and kind. He tested our walls and told us the very good news No Damp. Our problem was condensation, he told us how to remedy the problem and when we asked how much we owed him. NOTHING. In this day and age when everyone seems to rip everyone off, how nice to talk to a firm that only wants to do a good job. This firm came as a recommendation and I would definitely recommend them. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Brilliant

I was very impressed with the whole experience. Punctuality was excellent and although it was a difficult job they worked incredibly hard to get the job done on time and correctly.Each day all areas were left tidy with all refuse removed. Not only that when I asked a question to Kev the work was explained to me so I gained an understanding of the whole process and what was coming next. After completing the job the whole area was hoovered and wiped down. Wonderful!!! I couldn't be more impressed and would definitely recommend them to others and obviously would use them again myself.

Surveyor was punctual and the damp report was clear to understand. When the workmen arrived to do the work, they assessed that the damp wasn't as extensive as stated in the report. Subsequently the work was scaled back with a commensurate reduction in the bill, which was welcome but also shows the honesty of the company. The workmen were friendly, polite and efficient. Always impressive to watch a skilled plasterer do his 'thing'. After the work was completed, they left the area clean and tidy. I'm very satisfied with the standard of the work and would use this company again if required. I would highly recommend this company.

Estimation and scheduling of the bedroom wall damp-proofing work was seamless and the workmen turned up on time on the scheduled days. The work was completed within the allocated timeframe of two days and the quality of the finished product (plaster removal, brick treatment, plaster boarding and replastering) was first class. The workmen were friendly and professional and made every effort to minimise and contain debris & dust (providing floor coverings etc.) All debris was bagged up continuously throughout the process and collected for disposal on completion of the job. We were extremely happy with all outcomes.

This was always going to be a big job, but unexpected complications and discoveries as the work went along meant that the whole thing took longer than any of us had bargained for. The original brief was to strip out the wooden floors on the ground floor of a medium-sized detached house, and replace joists and boards; strip walls where damp was detected, fix membrane, plaster-board and skim; spray all floor and loft cavities; suck out old cavity wall insulation. Along the way, there were extras which were added by us (more expensive skirting boards and architraves; removal of two fire surrounds being the principal ones). Also there were many changes when problems were discovered - mainly damp extending further than had initially been thought - and which were more easily dealt with as part of the whole job than done piecemeal later on. It was completely understandable that this affected the overall timetable, but we were generally kept informed of what work would be happening and when - living 200 miles from the site had its own challenges for us. The quality of the work was excellent, especially the most visible aspect of the plastering, which ended up taking in some curved surfaces, blending them in well with the existing wall/ceiling, and the overall result was more than we could have hoped for. The workmen were cheerful and approachable, and took on the extras with good humour. And Lee (the boss) was contactable, and kept everything on an even keel.

Lancashire Dampproofing Ltd inserted dampproofing into a loft wall to prevent damp penetration and replastered after. The original contact and survey was dealt with efficiently and the survey cost was very reasonable in comparison to others. I received a speedy quote which deducted survey costs if I went ahead with the work which I did. The original date of the work had to be changed last minute due to sickness so we did have to arrange another date. The men arrived on time, were polite, efficient and amazingly clean and tidy. I expected a lot more mess. Also the first time I’ve had work people in and they politely declined a brew! They worked through and finished mid afternoon which was great. We haven’t had a big downpour yet to really test the work but happy with the 10 year guarantee to reassure.

After initial problems where the previous office manager hadn’t booked my job and having to wait a further 6 weeks, the work was completed on schedule this week. The team who attended were prompt, courteous and the job was finished within timescales and with very little mess. I would recommend to others.

I would not hesitate to use this company again. I had to wait a few weeks for a quote (probably due to high demand), but I'm glad I did. I had two other quotes, but Lancashire Damp Proofing recommended more work than either of them and charged significantly less as well as completing the work in a much shorter time frame. All staff were extremely polite, friendly, efficient and hardworking. Also the tidiest workmen I have ever had. I have full confidence in the recommendations made, which I did not have in the other companies who quoted. Very much feel that this company is experienced, knowledgeable, honest and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend to others. Very happy customer - thank you. You deserve your reputation.

This is the second time we have used this company. The owner came to evaluate the work and discussed with us the options and later that day we received the quotation. We gave the go ahead and agreed a date for the work to be completed. Prior to the work commencing after stripping off some wallpaper we found we could do with some extra plastering. Lee, the boss was very helpful and agreed that the extra work could be done but it may need an extra visit to complete the work. The two chaps came and started the work. They were very friendly and their work was first class. In all the work was done over three days. Each day they left the work site clean and tidy. On the final day they explained everything they had done and how long we needed to allow the plaster to dry before decorating. This company is a pleasure to work with and I can highly recommend them to anyone who needs damp work undertaking in their properties.

I had Lancashire Damp do a few jobs as my property needed major damp work carrying out from rising damp, cavity wall extraction. They showed up on time, are efficient, reliable and professional. I would highly recommend them and have already recommended them to others. I will be using them again for work scheduled later in the year.

I have used Lancashire Damp on two occasions this year and on both occasions I was impressed by their professionalism. From the initial quotes and advice given by Lee to the great team of lads especially Jamie and Craig who were kind and courteous at all times as were the girls I dealt with in the office. They were all sympathetic to the trauma having this kind of work carried out can cause. The team arrived on time each of the three days of both jobs and worked hard finishing well within the time scales given. Their work was clean and tidy and with the minimum disruption. Everything was explained every step of the way. I can’t fault them and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them to anyone in the future.

We called Lancashire Damp Proofing Ltd as a family member had used them in the past and they were very happy with the service. Completely trustworthy, checked a number of the walls and said it was condensation and not damp plus offered advice. Excellent service thank you. Mark and Maria
