## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Excellent service from Smiths Damp Proofing. Jake promptly quoted for our damp issue, reviewing and discussing the problem and offering sound and honest advice, including on what we shouldn't waste our money doing. He explained everything clearly and thoroughly without rushing. Smiths Damp Proofing then carried out the works, doing the whole job themselves (in contrast to another company who required us to contract with others for aspects of the job). The work was completed within the estimated timescale and to a very high standard and Jake's communication throughout was exceptional."

> "Great Job – Super Happy with the Results! Had Jake in to sort out some damp issues that popped up all of a sudden on a wall and honestly, he was brilliant from start to finish. He showed up on time, explained everything in simple terms. The work was done quickly and professionally, and they made sure to clean up after themselves, which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend them if you’re dealing with damp – reliable, friendly, and great knowledge and expertise in their field too."

## Before you hire a damp proofing / waterproofing
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Get 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.
- Look for a surveyor or contractor accredited by the Property Care Association (PCA), the recognised UK body for damp and timber, and prefer an independent surveyor holding CSRT (now CSTDB) or CSSW for the diagnosis itself.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
