> "Fibre glass roof had a leak. Called SS Waterproofing and asked them to come and inspect. They located the issue and using Prokol Monoseal they repaired it. They were very efficient and professional, which put my mind at ease and I was happy with the job completed. I would highly recommend this company."

## 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, CSRT-qualified surveyor for the diagnosis itself.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
