Highlights

"We had an issue with dry rot in the subfloor space of our house - Don produced a high quality survey and diagnosed that the cavity wall insulation had dropped down and was causing damp under the house. Martin carried out all of the work to a high standard, clearing the cavity of all of the damp insulation, installing extra air bricks for ventilation and treating the dry rot. The ventilation seems much better under the house now."

Richard OCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Don did the initial inspection report, followed by Kevin hacking off the plaster and applying the damp treatment, and Gary doing the re-plastering. All in all, a very good experience from people that really knew their stuff. All were professional and efficient throughout and it was reassuring to deal with trustworthy and reliable tradespeople. It was also a very reasonable price and everything was left clean and tidy. Very happy to recommend them to others and I would happily use them again."

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Don was very knowledgeable and was able to quickly assess the damp issues and recommend solutions. Gary carried out the recommended work to a high quality. He was professional, reliable and trustworthy, being respectful and considerate of my requirements, ensuring any disruption was minimised and tidying up afterwards. Gary was very flexible and supportive to reduce any impact of the work on me. Highly recommend Don and Gary"
