Highlights
"The work was carried out to an extremely high standard and both jobs were professionally executed. The bathroom was particularly difficult as the damage was under the shower tray and we live in a bungalow. Karl not only accessed the area without having to remove the shower tray but fixed and stabilised the problem. Very impressive considering other plumbing quotes we had received. Mark's plastering was to a very high standard and I would not hesitate in using Alexander Plastering again."
"Karl responded very quickly to my request for a quote, and a start date was agreed. He contacted me the day before to let me know what time he would get here. He and Will arrived right on time and wasted no time in getting started. Once the old plaster was removed He put a tanking membrane on the brickwork then replastered the area, feathering the edges into the existing plaster. He repaired the coving which was damaged when the old plaster was removed, and also replaced a portion of skirting.He also checked another concern I had and put my mind at rest. I would highly recommend Karl."
"Prompt contact made and quote for work given within a few days, work completed within schedule, 10 year guarantee issue, recommended."

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.
