“Job took much longer to complete than expected, very poor finish have had to employ more trades people to fix the problems they left behind. I.E. Skirting boards no longer meet carpet no longer fits lintels going on a slope and a kitchen that is still having to have a dehumidifier running as still have leaking sink and pipes indoors and outside, have had to have a plasterer into attempt to fix main walls plumbers to come now to address the leakage and drainage issues this company left behind. No receipt, No guarantee as promised was told had to wait 3 months”

Job unfinished! Took full payment and didn’t return to finish the job. We have had a terrible experience with this company. Terrible workmanship. We asked them to return on multiple occasions to finish the job, repair damage they caused and take a final damp reading to ensure the quality of the course as promised when quoting for the job. They never returned since January and are now uncontactable, leaving my house in a poor state.
Was quick to reply to my message arranged an appointment for him to come round never turned up sent a message and rang no reply no explanation

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.
