  • Jade did a fantastic job sorting the damp issues at the bottom of our stairs, super super friendly and polite and great work overall!! Kind and respectful and ensured I was happy with the work that was done before leaving. If we needed any further works done in the future I'd hope they'd send Jade out again to provide the same high quality work. Smashing job :)

  • I'm absolutely thrilled with the damp proofing and plastering work carried out. Jade and David were outstanding from start to finish, keeping me informed day to day on progress and even taking on additional work at short notice. Their workmanship was exceptional, the finish in the rooms has really made my house now feel like a home. The clean up afterwards was also truly amazing, cleaner than it was before they started! I would highly recommend them.

Damp questions we get asked most

There is no single price because it depends on the cause, the length of wall being treated and whether replastering is needed. What we can promise is that you get a fixed price in writing after the survey, before any work starts, and it does not change afterwards.

They look similar and are treated very differently, which is why a lot of property gets the wrong work done. Rising damp shows as a tide mark low on the wall with salting, condensation shows as black mould on cold surfaces, around windows and in corners. We take moisture readings and check external ground levels before deciding.

A single wall is usually a day. A full ground floor with replastering is typically three to five days. Replastering needs time to dry before decorating, and we will tell you how long at survey stage.

Yes. Our treatments carry a 10 year guarantee issued in the property owner's name, and it transfers to the new owner, which is useful when a buyer's surveyor asks about previous damp work.
