"Steve came and sorted out some damp for us back in July. He was professional and very knowledgeable. He was very clean and tidy and very happy to give advice. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."

"Steve came today to check out 2 areas in my flat which had damp walls. I was concerned that it might be rising damp but he examined both walls and diagnosed the problems. He didn't charge me for his expert advice which I was surprised and of course, happy about. He is a thorough professional and I would recommend him without hesitation. Carol Kelly"

"Steve Shoesmith came round end of January to damp proof a couple of walls. Steve was very professional but also personable and kind. Steve arrived bang on time and carried out the work very efficiently. Steve cleaned up after the work so well that you would not have thought work was being done on the walls. I would definitely use Steve again and would not hesitate in recommending him to others. Great job"

"I found Steve on the checkatrade website, his reviews were really good so I asked him for a quote to instal a new damp proof course, remove and replaster sections in our living room and hall. The quote was a fair price and the work was carried out on the dates and times agreed. Steve was a really nice person and gave us a lot of advice and the quality of the work was excellent, the rooms left clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend Steve for any damp problems."

I bought a basement flat near the sea that needed proofing in two rooms and fan installations in the bathroom and under the house steps. Steve did an outstanding job over two weeks, cleared all mess, and left the place better than I did. Great communication and a friendly man. Highly recommended.

Steve came to view my damp issue and was totally upfront and honest, told me I didn’t need any work and advised how I can solve the issue myself. Top man!

Excellent from start to finish. Steve was easy to contact, prompt, efficient, personable, highly skilled and experienced. The quality of the finish is first class and everything left clean and tidy. Considering it’s such a messy job I found this quite remarkable. I have no hesitation in recommending Steve, he’s a diamond.
