Nathan

Damp patch on inside of external wall

James was really efficient and easy to work with. He suggested a not too expensive solution and carried out the job within a few days. We have high hopes the problem is fixed and would definitely recommend James to others

Catherine & Robb

Damp proof outside wall

James was very professional and did a quick job. He also cleaned up after himself which I was grateful for. Thank you.

Karem

Penetrative damp problem

James was very efficient and considerate. Prompt response to job, organised to come round to view the problem on the weekend, gave a written quote and then carried out the work diligently. Time will tell if the damp problem is gone but for now I would recommend him.

James

Sudbourne Road damp

James was reliable, worked fast and tidied up well afterwards. He did a neat job and we were very pleased with the results. He even repaired some other holes in the plaster in another room as a bonus for no extra charge. We would happily use him again and have no hesitation recommending him.
