Had to re-do the work several times due to cracking and non setting of the cement. When the work was finally completed we had had to re contact due to damp still penetrating the walls. We fully paid and the work is supposed to have a 10 year warranty. Dave has told me he doesn’t care and good luck trying to hold him to that he isn’t coming to do the work and has blocked my calls. £6000 in cash paid and wasted for very poor workmanship. Please don’t use!
Work was carried out in February 2016 by David Hill to remove infected plaster and applying treatment etc. I was told that all work comes with a 10 year sovereign backed guarantee. Unfortunately a year later the problem reoccurred and a colleague of David's came back and carried out work similar to above. The issue of rising damp has reoccurred once again and I sent David an email with attached photographs. I was told by David that the work shown was not carried by him and that my house of 90 years old may have moved. Although David did agree to carryout further work he failed to turn up.

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.
