Highlights
Detailed reviews
DO NOT EMPLOY THESE PEOPLE. The job was rushed so the plaster blew. We waited in three times for someone to come and repair it without success. After four months of waiting we asked again for the work to be completed and received an astonishingly rude response. It cost nearly half as much again to get someone competent in to fix it.
I asked this company to inspect our property. I booked an appointment and they never turned up or contacted me to let me know they couldn’t come I ve made 3 additional appointments and they’ve neither had the courtesy of turning up or letting me know they weren’t coming - extremely unimpressed!!!

Damp and timber work isn't licensed in the UK, and "rising damp" is often over-diagnosed - so a real qualification matters. Property Care Association members hold recognised damp-surveying qualifications (CSRT/CSSW), follow a code of ethics and must have traded at least three years. Check they're a PCA member before you accept a damp-treatment quote.
Check the PCA registerGet an INDEPENDENT damp survey, not a free one from the firm that wants to sell you the treatment. A free survey has every incentive to diagnose expensive 'rising damp', when the problem is often condensation, a leak, or high ground level that needs no chemical injection.
Insist they identify and fix the underlying CAUSE (a leak, blocked airbricks, poor ventilation, failed pointing) before agreeing to an injected damp-proof course, and ask them to explain why simpler fixes won't work.
Get the diagnosis and an itemised quote in writing, and be wary of pressure to sign on the spot for a long 'guarantee' that is only worth anything while that firm is still trading.
