Highlights

I can’t thank Action Dry and the Habbershaw family enough. I first met Alex in January 2024 when he came to test our property for mould—turns out, we had mould. Over the next year, I liaised with Alex and his father, Andy, while I battled my insurance to get them to pay out on the claim. Not once did Andy or Alex get annoyed with my hundreds of questions; they continued to help me the best they could. Andy spent countless hours helping me write emails. We finally got the insurance to pay out (though not in full) and had Action Dry remediate the property on February 10th. We didn’t have much

I can not recommend Action Dry highly enough. I have used them to test 3 different properties for mould and a full remediation works on one of them. They work to the highest standard and have the best equipment on the market. They have spent time answering all my questions and made me feel very reassured that they know what they are doing. There are a lot of companies out there not working to the standard needed to remove mould properly and are ripping people off, but Action Dry are a trustworthy company working with integrity and really know know what they are doing!

I called ActionDry to get a property assessed for a dryness certificate following drying-out works that had taken place over an extended period. Alex confirmed that the walls were dry but identified that moisture levels were still too high in the concrete floors. He installed thermo-desiccant dryers - more powerful and efficient than standard dehumidifiers - and these took care of the job in two weeks, as he'd estimated. Alex and his colleagues were clear, efficient, professional and courteous. Recommended!

This trade isn't licensed in the UK, so anyone can set up. TrustMark is the only Government-endorsed quality scheme for work in and around the home - check whether they're registered, or find a TrustMark-registered business.

Check the TrustMark register
Never pay a large deposit up front. Agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow. Both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
