Highlights

Craig identified the causes of damp patches in our hall and bedroom and resolved these problems in a highly professional and knowledgeable way . We cannot praise him enough . His workmanship is superb and he is incredibly tidy and thoughtful. Thoroughly recommended! Thank you Craig

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

I can’t recommend Craig highly enough. We have been renovating a house over the last few years during which Craig has damp proofed our entire ground floor and also carried out some dry lining and plastering. The quality of work has always been fantastic and what sets Craig apart is the level of tidiness during and after any work. Where I cannot rate Craig highly enough is where he has provided advice to us on other parts of our renovation where we have needed his expertise and second opinion. Whereas other trades may have become uncontactable after a while, Craig has always been there to help.

Craig was already here fixing a rising damp problem in my dining room, when I asked him to inspect the floor as well. As suspected, the joists were rotten and the floorboards had woodworm. I therefore asked him to strip out the old floor, replace the joists and add new flooring on top. He did a very thorough job, using products that will deter any recurrence of damp or woodworm. Craig always explains what he is going to do, how he will do it, what products will be used, how long the work should take, and issues guarantees on his work. His work is of a high standard and he is always punctual.

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.
