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.

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.

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.

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.

They initially did a damp review and I was very happy with the explanation of the cause and possible solutions. I felt it was honest and fair. They then fitted a new fan with a humidity sensor to improve airflow.

Had four room damp proofed and plastered by this company. I was very happy and impressed with the work they did. They identified some further issues but didn't deviate from their original quotation, which I thought was very fair. It was an easy process from start to finish and I have already recommended the business to other people.

My rental property was suffering with significant rising and penetrating damp issues. I didn't know where to start to fix the problem but Ryan provided very detailed advice, took the time to fully explain every course of action and the various routes we could take. Ryan and his team fitted a new damp course, penetrating damp treatment and improved ventilation system, along with new skirting boards and solving of some electrical issues along the way. The work ran on time and I was provided with updates and pictures throughout so I knew exactly what was going on. The plastering work is of an excellent standard and the house was left tidy and clean. Happy customer.

Contacted Ryan after reading reviews, I knew what the damp problem was and upon inspection so did Ryan. All contacts and timelines were kept to, any questions were answered promptly and professionally. The work to my damp wall was carried out in one day, the finish was excellent, all cleaned up before leaving with arrangements made for the joiner to call the day after. The joiners work was equally excellent. Ryan calls after the joiner has been to ensure that you are happy with all work undertaken. It has been a pleasure dealing with Ryan and team, all quotes, agreed works are documented clearly in writing. I would highly recommend R B Plastering and Damp Proofing.

We have a property that had a dry rot problem which required the whole of the ground floor to be stripped the problem was so bad. We got 3 contractors to give us a quote, but went with Ryan and his team after doing some research and reading reviews from previous customers and we were not disappointed. Once the work was started we were kept up to date with the progress of the works on a daily basis and the works were completed to a very high standard. Ryan gave us a time frame for the works to be completed and he and his team went above and beyond to ensure this was attained, as we had a tight schedule to adhere to. I cannot recommend this Company enough they went that extra mile for us throughout.

Ryan and his team recently carried out damp proofing repairs to my porch using an impermeable membrane to the walls. They finished off by re-plastering the walls and putting on new skirting boards. I would highly recommend this company. As well as being friendly and professional, they quoted a fair price. I was kept up to date with pictures throughout the job and i'm very happy with the finished work. Thank you

I recently bought a house and only after stripping off the wallpaper prior to moving in did I discover extensive damp throughout. Despite being on a tight timescale before I had to move in Ryan managed to fit me in and essentially rebuild my house from the inside damp proofing and plastering a lot of the walls. Ryan and his team were all really tidy and did a brilliant job, even when issues cropped up he got it sorted with no stress and for a really reasonable price. The communication during the job was excellent and he sent me pictures of all the work that was completed each day so I could see the progress. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or use again in the future.

Ryan carried out a short survey on my parents’ house which had damp issues. Correspondence with him prior to the survey was very helpful and he arrived promptly as promised. He undertook the survey with professionalism and the results were explained clearly as were his suggested solutions. Ryan was polite , knowledgable and friendly and I am extremely grateful to him for his advice. I would not hesitate to seek his help and advice again.

Ryan came round to give a free quote as promised. After 2 other quotes I decided to go with Ryan as he was very professional & did a thorough check of my property & explained everything clearly to me. Ryan & his team turned up early on the due date & the job was completed on the third day as he stated. As well as fixing the damp walls he also fitted air bricks in the external walls. I can honestly say the job has been completed to a very high standard and they left my property inside and outside clear of all rubble and took it away. I am very happy to recommend RB Plastering and would not hesitate to contact Ryan if I ever have such problems in the future.

Ryan and his team completed a full damp course in my living room. The work was initially delayed because of Covid-19, but once rescheduled everything was done well within the timescale and budget. The work was carried out to a high degree of professionalism and to a very high standard. We couldn't be more pleased. Everything was cleared and swept each night, keeping the mess to a minimum., not an easy feat when plaster is involved. Once the job was finished, invoices and guarantee were sent the following day. Ryan made it clear that if we had any problems we should contact him, and while I don't think this assurance would be necessary, it's nice to know. I would definitely recommend this company.

Remedial work for a bridged damp course to all rooms downstairs. Fitting of a impermeable membrane to walls, re-plastering and extra skimming of walls to downstairs, stairs and landing. I was impressed by Ryan's straight forward and honest assessment of the work required. All work was completed on time and budget for a fair price. Work was to a high standard. Communications before, during and after the work was completed have been excellent. Highly recommended.

Project: Replacement of joists, timber floor, damp proofing, plastering work to walls with new external ventilation in a Victorian mid terraced house. From the initial detailed assessment of the work required Ryan was thorough in keeping us accurately and well informed of progress throughout the work programme to completion of the project. An example of his attention to detail was the daily photographic report we received. Every communication from us received a prompt, courteous and informative reply with all associated project documentation received in a timely manner. The quality of workmanship was first class, completed on time and within the agreed budget. The quotation for the work was detailed with clear descriptions and explanations. We would recommend Ryan without hesitation. In our opinion Ryan must be a leading tradesman in his field. We had confidence in him from the outset. On completion we consider that was totally justified.

Ryan and his team did a fantastic job with damp proofing my dining room and kitchen, replacing the joists and floorboards and replastering the walls. When Ryan realised that the job was bigger than first estimated (a skip was needed to clear what was under the old floorboards!), he quickly rang me to discuss what needed to be done next. Ryan's communication, care and professionalism is excellent and the team worked really hard and cleaned and mopped before they left. I would 100% recommend RB Plastering & Damp-Proofing Ltd to everyone.

Ryan and the team were first class right from the start to the end (damp survey, and recommendations, proposed works and delivery) . The project was large and they delivered on time and with great results. All the more amazing as this was done with COVID considerations through out. They work very diligently and always give you up to date information on how things are going. I can not thank them enough for their skills, delivery and attention to detail. If you need any damp proofing type work done, Ryan and the team, are excellent and to be thoroughly recommended. Very professional and they work very hard. Outstanding.

I found Ryan (RB Plastering and Damp-Proofing) via Which? Trusted Traders and asked him to undertake an inspection at my mum's house in Prestwich (Manchester), following a sale falling through due to concerns raised in a buyer's survey. It was a tricky job as I was expecting a lot to need doing, and we couldn't meet in person as the house is currently vacant and I'm helping to sort this out from Sheffield (where I live). At the time of inspection the covid stay at home order was still in effect. His inspection report was clear and his quote for undertaking damp proofing and timber repairs was competitive, hence we were happy to instruct him to undertake the repairs a month later. Ryan completed the work over 5-6 days. Because the house was vacant, Ryan sent numerous photos each day so we could see the progress. He also called to discuss any decisions that might need making around how/whether to move shelving or the fireplace etc. Ryan was professional throughout the inspection and subsequent works. Always calling my mum or me to talk through his findings, what works necessary and what was 'good to have but not urgent'. His customer service was excellent and works completed to a high standard. I would definitely recommend Ryan for similar works in future.

I contacted Ryan at RB Plastering & Damp-Proofing Ltd after I had a problem with a gas fire installation. The surround had detached from the wall and the company that fitted it blamed the issue on damp, I had had 3 wildly differing estimations from local damp proofing businesses ranging up to £3,500 plus £1,250 the fireplace centre wanted to charge to refit. Ryan visited my home to survey the issue and immediately pointed out that damp was not the cause and the surround had come away from the wall due to a poor standard of installation. This helped me to build a case and now the fireplace centre have agreed to refit, properly and safely without charge. I could not have rectified this issue without Ryan's help and his friendly, professional and honest approach has literally saved me thousands of pounds. There are a lot of unscrupulous traders out there, it has been so refreshing to deal with RB Plastering & Damp-Proofing Ltd and I would like to express my sincere thanks and would highly recommend this business.
