Highlights
"Great job. Turned up when they said they would. Carried the job out quickly and efficiently and nearly £2k less than a different quote we received."
"Harry carried out the work and did a great job"
"This is our first winter in a new house and we noticed damp on 2 walls. Terry came round, advised we needed damp proof on the affected areas. He took back to brick, treated, replastered and injected externally. The price was very reasonable, I was quoted over twice the price from another contractor. Terry and his young lad did the work promptly and they were very friendly. Thank you!"

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.
