Highlights

"Paul provided us with an initial quotation and helpful advice on how to address our damp issue, all with no obligation to use hus services. The quote was detailed which gave us the confidence to engage Paul. Throughout the entire process Paul was the consummate professional. The work was completed to a high standard and he ensured mess was kept to a minimum. We wouldn't hesitate to engage Homeguard again if needed and highly recommend his services to others."

"I needed to check if there was damp in my apartment, thankfully there was not but I would like to highly recommend Paul…he turned up on time (rare these days), was super friendly and a true professional. 10/10!"

"From the moment we contacted Homeguard they were nothing but professional, courteous, trustworthy and personable. They charged £50 for the evaluation that led to a quote and I have to say it was the best £50 we have spent. The £50 is offset the main bill if you have work carried out by them. Once we booked the date the communication from Paul & Jo was first class setting everything out very clearly. Once the job was started Paul was prompt, shared information openly and as impressive as that is, the work has been completed to the highest of standards. We would recommend to everyone."

Paul was professional from start to finish and incredibly easy to work with. The site was left perfectly cleaned at the end of the job and you wouldn't even know he'd been there. I'd highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for someone to survey and complete works on their damp problems.

I can't recommend Paul and Homeguard highly enough. Going above and beyond what was expected, I was incredibly impressed with quality and speed of their work. From the detailed, timely and thorough inspection and report through to the meticulous DPC work itself, the entire service was on point. Aside from anything, Paul is as personable as he is professional which is why, when I found more damp in another room of my property, I called him immediately.

We wanted to use Paul for both our survey and potentially the remediation work as well but he very popular and the timeframes didn't quite work out. Despite that, both Paul and Joanne were very helpful with any questions we had.

Paul came to inspect the problem areas and provided an in-depth, timely report with a quote. Having booked him he arrived on time and worked diligently and cleanly each day with as little disruption and mess and possible. I would highly recommend this family run business.

This the second time we have used Paul to do damp work in our home. Both times his report and quote have been very detailed and informative and he was very accommodating with his time and allowed us to ask questions and helped us make informed decisions with what work we had done. His communication was great before before throughout completing the work. He went to great effort to minimise the disruption and mess caused by the work. The job was completed in the time frame he gave us and to what I feel was a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending Paul anyone

Paul is a very professional chap who recently completed a damp proof survey at my property whilst I was aware of various issues I wanted some final confirmation and clarification from an expert in this particular field and what options I had to fix the issues. Whilst there is a very small fee involved eventually I received a detailed report of what problems exist, how to fix them and every thing is laid out in laymen's terms along with diagrams. Would highly recommend. The other reviews are spot on.

Paul was great and completed the work to a high standard. Was on time everyday and was finished by the time the kids returned from school. Was tidy and all round nice guy. Would always recommend this company.

Paul was brilliant. He did a survey and explained everything thoroughly on the report. A new DPC and re-plastering was needed at a very fair price. He completed the work to a very high standard and worked tirelessly to get it done. Very easy to communicate with, very polite and tidy. From beginning to end Paul was superb. I highly recommend this company.

Paul undertook a damp proof survey at the front and side of the property. He was thorough with his inspection and understanding of the situation, also speaking to a flat owner to answer specific concerns so she was clear about the issues. Paul's report arrived quickly with straightforward solutions and a reasonable quote for a drainage channel. Paul returned to do this work and created a very neat channel along the front and side which I'm very happy with. He left the area very tidy. I would definitely use Homeguard again and wouldn't hesitate in recommending them for damp proof works.

Paul and Jo were considerate, helpful and efficient from the outset. Paul supplied a clear and detailed report on works required. He offered realistic advice on how to save money and limit upheaval. Paul was not disruptive whilst here - no loud music! The house stayed incredibly clean and work completed to a high standard with Paul going the extra mile for us. Would definitely recommend!

I have used this company before when we found rising damp in the back room of our bungalow. I suspected there was damp in the kitchen so contacted Paul immediately. Unfortunately the damp course was no longer effective and the damp was quite extensive. It meant the whole kitchen had to be pulled out and a new one fitted. Paul was punctual, polite and tidy. My plasterer was very impressed with Paul’s work. I have recommended this company to others and will continue to do so.

Paul was fantastic, good initial survey, filled me with confidence he knew how to tackle the problem (damp in an old Victorian house in floor and walls). Wrote to me with comprehensive report and clearly outlined price. Very easy to communicate with, turned up on the dates agreed and worked tirelessly to complete the 2 week long project, whole floor and subfloor replacement and full damp treatment (liquid DPC and re-plastering). Very happy with Paul and Homeguards service 10 out of 10. Will use again (as have more soggy houses!) and have already recommended to a friend.

I know it will some time before one can be 100% that the problem is solved but this is true for any form of treatment used (of which there are a variety out there). Thanks Paul for an excellent job and helping us to understand the damp issues. Good to deal with a company that does exactly what is says it will do.
