Highlights
“From the quote to completion he explained everything that was needed and why it’s done the way it is. Turned up when said and tidied as went. Done each room separate so we could prepare without having to empty the house! Also advised us and fixed an issue outdoors Would highly recommend”
“Damp Proof Services came out and gave a quote for the work which needed to be done. David was honest and straightforward. He explained my options and gave a solution to my problem. He came when he said he would and carried the work out to a very high standard. He also tied up after every working day. I would highly recommend him to others.”

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 registerNever 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.
