“I cannot recommend DampCav enough. From the initial investigation through to the end, everything was fantastic. Joel was very helpful and so empathetic to the distress that finding damp in my home was. He offered and explained the solutions to my problem, but also explained what had caused it. During the work, he was very respectful of my home and supported minimal disruption. The team we clean and tidy and the works have been carried out to an extremely high standard and more than I expected. Thank you so very much.”

Worth checking yourself

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.
