## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Excellent service and incredibly friendly! I was concerned about my bathroom wall and possible damp penetration, and Andy went out of his way to stop by my house after I was home from work, so that he could look at my wall. The free survey was excellent and really financially helpful, and Andy couldn't have been more friendly and informative when telling me about the issues. I can highly recommend their service based on the experience I had."

> "Fast response to our phone call, visited property same day, provided free initial survey, very impressed with his explanation, gave full explanation of work needed and price was very competitive. We were so impressed we have booked him to do the work and he has given us a start date for 2 weeks. Would have no hesitation in recommending"

> "The work was carried out without me having to wait long and everything was clearly explained before hand. The job was completed as agreed. Andy was really helpful and I would recommend him."

## Before you hire a damp proofing / waterproofing
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Get an INDEPENDENT damp survey, not a free one from the firm that wants to sell you the treatment. A free survey has every incentive to diagnose expensive 'rising damp', when the problem is often condensation, a leak, or high ground level that needs no chemical injection.
- Insist they identify and fix the underlying CAUSE (a leak, blocked airbricks, poor ventilation, failed pointing) before agreeing to an injected damp-proof course, and ask them to explain why simpler fixes won't work.
- Get the diagnosis and an itemised quote in writing, and be wary of pressure to sign on the spot for a long 'guarantee' that is only worth anything while that firm is still trading.
- Look for a surveyor or contractor accredited by the Property Care Association (PCA), the recognised UK body for damp and timber, and prefer an independent surveyor holding CSRT (now CSTDB) or CSSW for the diagnosis itself.
- Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
