Timber survey and treatment

After the survey of the house I was buying recommended an investigation into internal timber decay, Timberwise Bristol surveyed the whole house and recommended woodworm treatment for the ground floor. They arranged the survey with the previous owners and delivered their report promptly. Once I had moved in, they were able to do the treatment on the day after, with the surveyor Tim visiting again as well, to look at an additional area of concern that I had not flagged in the original request. Both Mat and Tim were very helpful and accommodating, giving me useful advice and guidance - also going the extra mile helping me with woodworm in a piece of my furniture. I now have my 20-year guarantee for the floors as well as piece of mind. As well as Mat and Tim, all the office staff I dealt with were friendly and helpful. I can recommend Timberwise Bristol wholeheartedly.

Timberwise have completed rot treatment in my flat and in my neighbour's adjoining flat. They were required to strip out and treat the rot, then re-plaster walls and replace boards. They left both flats in perfect condition ready for painting. All done on time and according to their quote. They were faced with a difficult situation as they had to work round a stressed customer in residence. They handled this with a level of thoughtfulness and diplomacy for which I am grateful. I don't normally write reviews but they deserve this Nina

Great work, a few challenges with communication

I have had a positive experience with Timberwise and their Bristol office. Dan Roderick has done an excellent job and was a pleasure to work with. Georgina from the office deserves a knighthood for patiently taking many calls from me every week in the run up to the work and being very flexible around my project's needs. The only area for improvement I would highlight is the communication in advance of the work. The instructions seemed well geared for furnished properties, but not for renovation projects such as mine. Unfortunately it was not clearly communicated that my sink would need removing in advance of the work, nor that my electrics would all need to be boxed and chased. This caused a lot of upheaval and frantic phone calls during the week of the work, and very nearly caused all the damp work to be postponed which would have had big knock on impacts for the rest of the building work scheduled. Other than this, I am very happy with the work and price.

Pump and new joists/flooring outstanding service

Mark initially provided sound advice from the Basement, Pump and Sump Company. Some companies were not reputable! The job turned out to be more complex and time consuming requiring six hours extra labour from two people which was not charged. Mark and Nick are incredibly hardworking, explaining tasks and totally trustworthy. Timberwise thankfully managed to fit new flooring and joists at less than a week's notice so the kitchen can be fitted tomorrow. James in the office very helpful. I just wish every tradesman/company was this good. Quality of work was superb. The pump was initially noisy but Nick fixed this.

Timberwise recently completed damp proof treatment to a section of our hall wall. I was apprehensive about the potential mess and damage to our newly polished wood floor. I needn’t have worried as Steve immediately reassured me. The floor had a robust and full covering preventing any damage and the work was carried out in the outlined timescale. The area was kept tidy and left clean at the end of each day. Steve was very respectful of our home. He took great care in removing the skirting board in one piece and the completed job is very neat. Overall I’m delighted with the work.

Chemical damp proofing

As part of purchasing our property we had a survey undertaken that raised a number of points. Through recommendation we contacted Timberwise who under took a complete review of the structural survey and advised on what needed to be done and what was actually satisfactory and required no action. This was completed quickly and the cost estimate provided. A chemical damp proofing course was required which also required plaster work, was was to be undertaken, what was need for preparation was all clear and booking was straight forward even when we had to change the date due to completion. The chap turned up right on time every day, measured all carpets etc. were covered, undertook the work required, kept me advised and was social. At the end of the first day the area was cleaned and all left tidy and he checked that I was happy prior to leaving on the last day. I don't know how value relates to others but I was happy with the costs advised and the information provided when reviewing the quotation.

Having phone a few companies who were booking weeks in advance, Timberwise were able to squeeze me as they were a local company. The survey was carried out quickly, the surveyor Nic Glover rang me on the day as he knew i needed information quickly to help the purchase proceed quickly. The work was later booked in and carried out by a great and friendly guy called Steven Wade, take great care in his work, updated me throughout the day and did a really thorough job.

We have had a really hard and upsetting time with Timberwise Liverpool

They started a job removing dry rot from our downstairs living room in early 2017. They replaced part of a sash window frame, multiple floorboards, and re-plastered a quarter of the room. As well as treating the rot. We had problems with them from start to finish. The rot has now been found again in the skirting boards in the same area where they conducted the work. Here are the problems we had with them: 1. They cost a lot of money compared to other companies 2. They took nearly 2 months to complete a job which should've been done in 1 week 3. Days would go by without anyone coming to the house and the job half finished 4. We were rarely kept updated on the progress of the work and we had to call them to find out what was going on / what the delay was 5. One day we came home in the pouring rain and found the window was boarded up, no one had told us this was going to happen 6. After calling up to complain we had someone sent round to complete some demanding manual jobs and they sent someone with a broken arm! 7. We found rot back within 18 months in the same area 8. They were going to charge us £160 just to come out and have a look 9. Their surveyor came out and spent 2 minutes looking at it, he failed to assess the walls, windows and floor boards 10. He said that they had failed to properly finish the job 11. He spoke to a director who then refused to honour our guarantee (which we had paid a substantial amount for) and refused to finish the job 12. Now we are left with an incomplete job, visible dry rot in the room, a guarantee which is worthless, and have already had to pointlessly redecorate the room once which cost us £500 13. After complaining they said they would come and see the work again with the complaints team in 3 weeks time! 14. They then agreed to come sooner, reviewed the work and once again accepted no responsibility for the incomplete job I am now awaiting an independent surveyor to come and review the work and I’m going to liase with the ombudsman. I would wholeheartedly not recommend this company to anyone

Excellent friendly efficient service for Rising Damp

We have experienced Rising damp in our old property causing visible damage to walls. We contacted Timberwise for a free survey and quote which easily led to a surveyor to our property for a free survey which was carried on the affected area but we asked for a survey on the rest of the lower floor and this was also agreed. The surveyor was both friendly and efficient. A comprehensive report followed quickly and advised remedial work. This was similar to quotes form another company. Appointments for this work to be carried out was easily made. Steven Wade was the Timberwise engineer. He wa punctual very friendly and communicative. His work was caused unexpectedly little disruption and noise and very little mess. The end result looks excellent. Six weeks for the plaster to dry and then we can paint thee wall directly which due to the quality of the plastering will be all that is needed. Overall excellent efficient and very friendly service. Thank you
