Clayton was eager to obtain the work but less eager to follow up when problems emerged. He wanted to charge £130 for a repeat visit to get the unit working when it stopped. I contacted Nuaire whose electrician reported that in the unswitched fuse spur "supply neutral snapped off inside" and it was "connected poorly". I would not recommend this company where any electrical work was involved.

Detailed reviews
This was not a straightforward job as it involved replacing a worktop and sink unit in an older property. On removal of the original fittings there was a little extra work required that was undertaken. The job was completed to a very high standard and I am more than satisfied with the result. The price was as quoted with only extra required for fittings and fixtures that were requied to complete the task, with a full price breakdown of all additional items provided. Highly recommended.
The company were quick at coming out to look at the job and also to give their quote, unfortunately I felt that they were in too much of a hurry to secure the job which at that point I had not had all the quotes come in. Unfortunately I cannot give a recommendation of this company as we did not employ their services.

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.
