Highlights
"Darren was great. He was recommended by someone in my street who he had done work for. He came promptly to assess the issue (rising damp) and quote (very reasonable). He fitted us in the following week - came exactly when he said he would, worked quietly and neatly, it took exactly the time and number of days he said it would. I would highly recommend him - trustworthy, hard working, honest, a decent human being 😊Thanks very much Darren and his team. I would certainly use him again."
"This is the second time Darren & the team have been to my house to treat rising damp which appeared in a separate room a year later 🙄 I called Darren for advice and he came the same day on his way home from another job and quoted. The quote was very fair and the work last time brilliant so why change? The whole team are great, really friendly, reliable, arrived when they said they would, respectful of my home, did a great job plus additional plastering in another room. They left the house as clean and tidy, rubbish removed. 100% would call Darren again if I had further issues."
"I’m absolutely delighted with the work carried out on my house. The team installed the wall ties efficiently and to an excellent standard, with no issues whatsoever. They arrived early in the morning and worked solidly throughout the entire day, which was really impressive. They were speedy, tidy, and extremely professional – leaving everything clean and organised once the job was completed. The whole process felt smooth and well-managed from start to finish. The cost was very reasonable for the quality of workmanship provided, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to others. Thank you f"
