Detailed reviews
Demolition of old garage, build a new garage conversion with office, bathroom and kitchenette. All built to current building regulations. Clean tidy workers with great quality work and fantastic communication throughout the project. Will be using again in the future.
I found Carl to be very tidy ,polite and efficient.Carried out all the work he quoted for and was on time. He knew exactly what was required for the job and was confident in his abilities to do the work.All in all I would recommend him to other people.
I can’t fault Carl on this job: - He was quick to respond to the request for a quote; he came on Sat after I posted the request Fri eve - He was quick to provide a quote and when the job was agreed he started as promised - He always left the site immaculate - He called afterwards to make sure I was happy with the job and he left instructions of what to do to ensure the walls stayed dry - He was upfront that the walls would take a while to dry properly - He suggested ways of keeping the room dry even if he was not the one to install it & to finish he worked on Saturday 10 out of 10! Thank you!

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.
