Plastering- 10 May 2018
Lucas and Robert installed extra insulation board and plasterboard in our loft/boiler room. Although there was not much space to turn around, restricted by our boiler and water tank, they have even plastered the boiler room. Very accurate, quick and tidy, a perfect job for a reasonable price. We would definitely recommend them! Stephan, SW18

Damp Proofing- 21 Apr 2015
I had struggled a bit to know what to do about a sudden damp attack in my kitchen. I was floundering about whether I needed a roofer or someone to look at the brick work or whether it was condensation, or something I hadn't thought of. I clearly had a problem but I didn't want to end up paying for damp treatments that perhaps I didn't need. Ben surveyed the areas I was worried about and was able to confirm that the worst one was most probably down to a leak from roof or guttering. I can now hire a roofer to fix it. He also reassured me that two areas where there had been damp but which seemed ok now were ok for redecoration because their causes had been fixed. He also offered advice on methods of checking that the area had dried out after repair and on prevention for the future. Everything was confirmed in a written report and I certainly believe that this modest outlay for advice was worth it - it was reassuring and will probably save me money in the long-run.

Damp Proofing- 12 Nov 2017
The work was carried out with consideration and efficiency and I was pleasantly surprised with the speed of completion - once the job was started it was continued until it was finished, and I was impressed with the attention given to tackling and solving the awkward bits which occurred during the course of doing the repair. Highly recommended.

I am so pleased with the work Alex has done for us. He has worked for my neighbour, so I new he was reliable and trustworthy. He has plastered the bathroom walls, tiled them, decorated and tiled the kitchen and worktops. He was also able to get us a great deal on the tiles and reduce the price. I am very happy with the result and would definitely use him again.

Absolutely first class job and excellent service. Nothing was too much trouble for Martin. He explained clearly what he thought the cause of the damp problem was and did a test section first to investigate and confirm his suspicion. Once this had been confirmed, he again clearly explained how this could be resolved whilst also keeping costs to a minimum. I believe other less scrupulous people may just have advised to rip off all the plaster and redo the whole room. As other trades were also required to complete the job, Martin arranged all of this and project managed their arrival so the work progressed smoothly and seamlessly. I would have no hesitation in asking Martin to undertake further work-(in a house the age of mine there is always something to fix)- or to recommend him to others. An absolute find- thanks to My Builder!
