Testimonials
Damp proofing & replastering
James was punctual and professional and has done a great job on our flat. He is easy to contact and the work we had done was good value.
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
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.
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.
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.
