Damp Proof work in living room and kitchen
Ryan and his team were great. I found him online, seemed to have good reviews so I got him round to give us a damp proof survey. He explained everything in an easy to understand way, told me exactly what is needed to fix our problems. Once I had got the survey a couple of days later, we organised a time to get the work done, Ryan was happy to work around my availability. They arrived prompt each of the 3 days of work and left the house in a clean state. I highly recommend Ryan and his team.

Great work from Ryan and his team!
Installed a damp proof membrane to the whole of my party wall in 2 days which involved removal of all the plaster on some walls due to the thickness. Ryan & the guys were on time, friendly & efficient. Ryan explained things to me really well including the extra plastering required. He also said some sections didn't need doing, saving me money and also carried out a few repairs to my patio window seals at no extra cost. Super happy with the job and the joiner did a great job too on the brand new skirting boards. Would recommend Ryan & his team & felt safe with them having access to the house for two days whilst I was at work. Thanks Guys

Honest
I asked RB to give a quote for what I thought was rising damp in my conservatory. He responded to my text immediately and came the following day - a Sunday morning. He used his equipment to test damp levels and said the readings were very low and that nothing needed doing (he suggested we apply anti-damp paint). I can only say a huge thank you for coming and for being genuine. Should we need any damp-proofing or plastering in future, I'll be sure to contact RB.

Plastering for living room
I sourced several quotes for re-plaster after electrical works had been carried out in my living room. Ryan was one of the few trade people which kept to the arranged appointment and supplied electronic quote/paperwork as promised. After booking the job, Ryan was flexible on his schedule when I needed to postpone due to some further electric works needed. The work was finished in one day, and the team tidied up after themselves. They also removed the flooring in the room which was above and beyond. I would recommend RB Plastering & Damp-Proofing Ltd to my friends and family. I was very happy with the results and especially the supply of paper work after the job was finished.

Damp proofing
Ryan put me at ease from the day that I approached him with a house that had an entire ground floor of damp, with floor rot and related issues. His attitude and the way he worked with me managing the project made me feel really reassured at what could have been a really stressful time. I couldn't recommend him enough to anyone who has found themselves in a similar situation. He and the team really are committed to completing their work to a really high standard and I'm really grateful for all of their hard work.

Kitchen damp-proofing - Excellent!
Ryan has just completed a full damp proof course to our kitchen and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result and impressed with the overall service. From the outset, he turned up to quote when he said he would, the quote was detailed and gave clear instruction as to what we could expect from him and what he needed us to do to prepare the space for them to start work. He was easy to get hold of and happy to answer any questions I had prior to the job starting and turned up exactly when he said he would to start the job. He quoted for 3 days but managed to get it done in 2 and at the end of the first day, gave me a full update as to where they were at and what they planned to do next. The actual finish was brilliant, the plaster work including the edging around the window frames was spot on. Even the electrical sockets were put back on without a mark on them. The kitchen was swept and mopped and all rubbish was taken away. Such a relief to walk back into the house expecting carnage given the nature of the job, only to see it neat and tidy apart from a little dust. On payment he sent a receipt and contractors guarantee immediately - no having to chase for the paperwork. I’m at the end of pretty much a full house renovation (roof, windows, electrics etc ) and out of all the contractors we’ve had, Ryan is the only one I could say was excellent. Thanks so much! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent - would not hesitate to recommend!
Ryan originally came to quote to damp proof the downstairs of the house I had just bought and recommended I go back to my surveyors to complain, as the house clearly had damp problems not picked up by my home buyer’s report. Based on his recommendation I was able to get a chunk of the damp proofing course paid for. The work was carried out to a really high spec by Ryan and his team. They worked incredibly hard, working 13 hours one day to get the job done. Absolute grafters! My house has very uneven walls, given it was built in 1887, and Ryan and his team did the most incredible plastering job to get the walls straight. Ryan really takes the time to explain everything the job entails and to put your mind at rest. He’s always at the end of the phone too if you have any queries or concerns. I am really, really happy with the job he and his team have done and would absolutely recommend to anyone needing a damp proof course.

Quality work and good communication
We had a damp-proof membrane installed. RB Plastering gave a clear diagnosis of what was causing the damp and what needed to be done to rectify it. Their communication throughout was exceptional, written quotes, receipts, invoices and guarantee. Also good communication in terms of when they would arrive and how long the work would take.

Damp proofing and plastering
Ryan and his team were great. I bought a property recently and knew from the survey that there could be some damp around the back door. Ryan came to inspect this, took readings and gave me a comprehensive explanation of why water was penetrating through and what would be needed to rectify this. He also looked at an upstairs wall for me where I have noticed some minimal symptoms of condensation/damp. I went ahead with the downstairs work at this time. The team were punctual, polite and finished the work beautifully and to schedule. Ryan works with a joiner who came the next morning to replace the skirting boards as agreed and achieved a lovely finish. I would definitely recommend RB Damp Proofing to anyone needing damp inspections or work. And would hire Ryan and the team again when I do any further work of this kind.

Nothing but praise!
Absolutely fantastic experience with these guys. Communication, reliability, professionalism and workmanship were all second to none. They did a brilliant job on the damp proof, the plastering is excellent and the new skirting is fitted beautifully. What's more, they tidied and cleaned their way out of the house as they left. A real pleasure to do business with.

Brilliant job at a reasonable price
More than happy to recommend Ryan and the team. Ryan was quick to attend and provide a survey and works pricing for us for damp proofing. The team turned up exactly when they said they would do and works finished ahead of schedule. Ryan also flagged some additional issues with our property which we hadn't spotted.
