Highlights
"Great communication and advice from our initial telephone conversation and throughout the progression of the required work. Our survey was carried out to confirm that our problem was a ventilation issue and this was the reason for the condensation and mould within our home. Work carried out as planned, which has made a huge difference. We would highly recommend."
"Very helpful and friendly explaining what they where doing nothing was a bother to them very clean workers ."
"I would strongly recommend David and the team at Wallseal if you need wall repair. You will get reliability, quality and great communication throughout the job, from the initial survey right through to the end. I had replacement wall-tie work done on my 1930s semi, and the guys went above and beyond during a February month of extremely challenging weather. Despite this, the work was done to an excellent standard, everything was professional and thorough, all debris was tidied away after and I'm very pleased with the result. A big job was made as comfortable as possible."

Before you hire a builder
Never pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.
Get it in writing: an itemised quote with scope, materials, start and finish dates, and how any changes (variations) will be priced.
Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
Check the credentials and registrations that matter for this work — and that they are current.
