Highlights
"Excellent workmanship from day 1, good communications to explain the day to day progress. We would highly recommend Jake and his crew."
"Extremely satisfied with Jake and the team. So courteous and professional. We would definitely recommend them. We asked for additional work and this was all managed without hesitation! Great guys!"
"We highly recommend Definitive Solutions, and would gladly use them again! They were reliable, polite, friendly, knowledgeable and tidy. Always happy to offer their advice and help. Our house has been totally transformed into a modern beautiful home. Jake took his time to plan the right design to update our current storm porch. And we could not be any happier. He has used top quality materials and even sprayed some air vents when he couldn’t get any that matched the colour. Even our neighbours positively remarked on their work and manner. Jake came highly recommended to us, and we can see why!"

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.
