"I had a damp patch appearing in my living room area and wanted to book a survey, I found Dampmaster Essex details through check a trade and book a localised survey, the team were very helpful and talked me through all the steps involved, after the survey was sent across we accepted the cost for the works. The team arrived in Dampmaster uniforms very smart and tidy, the work was finished to a high standard which allowed my decorator to come in the week after, I am very please with my whole experience at Dampmaster Essex and recommend to anyone who asks."

I had Connor Harper and Edwin at my property Monday and Tuesday 21/22 August to complete works on a single wall with rising damp and installation of Heat Recovery system, I was called in the morning to give me a time of arrival and the chaps arrived on the dot in there Dampmaster uniforms and vehicles. They tided up through out the installation and left a quality finish to our walls, I would highly recommend Dampmaster.

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.
