Highlights
“Had a complete damp course throughout the house. Luke came out to do the initial survey. He was fantastic from start to finish- really personable, professional and competent. He explained everything very thoroughly and ensured we knew/understood exactly what work was needed. Lee and the team who carried out the work are a credit to the company- really lovely and trustworthy people. They left the house very tidy once the work was done. Communication with the wider team (June and Becky) was also very professional and friendly. Absolutely cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you:)”
“We had an outstanding experience with Damp Proofing Solutions from start to finish. The initial survey was detailed, informative, and clearly explained, giving us complete confidence in the work required. The quotation was transparent and thorough. On the day, the team were punctual, professional, and incredibly hardworking. Their preparation was meticulous, the workmanship was excellent, and they clearly take pride in what they do. The quality of the finished work is superb. What really stood out was the clean-up, the property was left spotless. Every element of the job was handled exceptionally well. We’re extremely pleased with the result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
“I was very happy with the process from start to finish, they came out and checked where I had found issues, explained to me why, how it could be rectified and what they could do to resolve the issue. Booking in was straight forward, they arrived on the day, on time, polite and cracked on, they were respectful to my house and finished the job with no issues and no drama. This is the kind of service you want and the kind I would be happy to go back to if I do find anymore issues in my house”

We were really pleased with DPS from Stuart’s thorough survey to Dave and Lee on the day. Stuart explained things carefully which we appreciated. Dave and Lee were good to have around - cheerful, communicative and tidy. They did a great job. We would happily recommend DPS to others as a good professional firm with a personal touch!

Lee and Lukeash were amazing and so friendly. They came to fit an air brick, some damp proof board I cannot remember the name of and replaster my bedroom closet after finding damp/mould. They were very professional and very very respectful of my 2 cats which one has an illness stress can trigger. They were so efficient to keep my cats stress level down and that was a highlight for me. The work was amazingly done and they didn’t leave any mess. Thank you, hopefully I won’t need it but will return if I ever do.
I had a problem with rising damp in my hall due to having the original quarry tiles. I called damp proofing solutions and from that initial call to completion I was very impressed. Adam came out to assess what needed to be done, he explained everything in detail and gave me a price and date. The two men who came out were punctual both days. They were very friendly and polite. They started work as soon as they arrived and worked very hard and professionally. The works took two days to complete which was great and was of a very high standard. They left after having cleaned up and washing my drive. I have already recommended this company to other people. Being a female on my own its hard to come accriss a reliable, trustworthy company that you know won't pull the wool over your eyes . This company really put my mind at rest. Thankyou to all

Damp Proofing Solutions carried out work on 4.5m2 of rising damp in an Edwardian terraced house in Evesham. The blistering plaster was in three locations and was stripped back to brick, a cream damp proofing solution injected into the mortar, then a polypropylene membrane was attached to the tanking coat before applying two coats of plaster. A ten year guarantee was provided backed by the PCA. The two plasterers completed the work in about 5 hours leaving the premises reasonably tidy with all waste removed. The Company was chosen on the basis of cost ( three quotes obtained) and availability.

DPS were similarly professional as when they last performed work at my house. They arrived promptly, early in the morning, and a sizeable amount of work was complete by early afternoon. It looked expertly done and their staff were curious and polite. Please be aware that fixtures like skirting board were not reattached, and if DPS wished to further improve their service, this would be appreciated.

We've recently purchased a property with a hidden damp problem. We were really worried about the treatment and the time it would take to complete. From the moment I've met Luke for a quote right through to completion of work, everyone behaved in a very professional manner. Luke was able to squeeze us into their busy schedule. The process of treating our damp issue was explained in detail. The communication with the office was second to none. The finished effect is obviously yet to be determined, but the house was left in the condition as expected and new plaster is looking good.
Excellent service from beginning to end. The initial survey of the house helped us identify the extent of the damp, but also which areas of mould just needed to air out. The team doing the work were always on time, friendly and professional. Not only would we recommend, but we plan on using them again next year as we get round to addressing the damp in other parts of the house.

Great experience from start to finish. The survey was thorough and clearly set out the proposed solution and quote. The lads who came to do the job, arrived early and were really friendly and happy to answer any questions. The work was completed to a really good standard and earlier than expected, leaving the room clean and tidy. Would definitely recommend Damp Proofing Solutions.
