Review from Susan, Bicester Review left on 9 Jan 2026Rating: 5 out of 5Rising damp in hallwayKerri was very helpful in explaining what they would do. The quote was very reasonable compared with others I received. A time to do the work was arranged within a couple of days. They did ask if they could change the time but gave plenty of notice. They clean up after the job was done and explained what I needed to do next. I had trouble getting the plaster they recommended,so I rang them back and they tracked down a supplier for me within a few hours.Review from Tina Murphy, Bristol Tina Murphy, Bristol
Review left on 27 Dec 2025Rating: 5 out of 5Damp ProofingFrom my first posting the job required. Kerri contacted me immediately. She was very communicative, very professional. Alan gave a quote from a level 2 survey and they managed to fit the job in before Christmas, which was amazing. Alan went out and found a little more damp than the survey said, so he sorted that out too. The job was left clean and tidy and 10 year guarantee given. Not a damp expert, but as far as we know all sorted. Amazing job, communication and can only highly recommend both of them. Good family team and nice to support small family businesses. Good job all round Helena from BristolReview from David, Trowbridge David, Trowbridge

Review left on 3 Dec 2025Rating: 1 out of 5Damp in retail storePreviously posted a damp job and shortlisted Al damp. Promised a call but missed it. When we finally got round to a video call he was casually sitting in his car barely identifying the problem with the building. Promised a quote and didn’t send one out. Do not deal with tradesmen who don’t view a job in person to identify cause of damp.Answer from tradesperson:
We arranged a date and time for a video call during our telephone conversation. I called you at the agreed time for Alan to carry out the video consultation (please see attached proof). You did not answer, which contradicts your suggestion that the appointment was missed on our side. During our initial call, you were verbally discourteous. Following that conversation, I informed Alan that I preferred not to deal with you further, as our business reserves the right not to engage with individuals who are rude or disrespectful. Despite this, Alan proceeded with the scheduled video call. During that call, you continued to behave in a rude and dismissive manner and ultimately ended the call abruptly. You later requested a quote, but based on the interactions described above, I made the decision not to provide one, as we are not obliged to engage with clients who treat us in such a manner. Also, for further clarity on this man’s personality please see attached response to a review of his

Review left on 17 Nov 2025Rating: 1 out of 5Small damp patches in living room.Were let down by this company who said they would attend at 12.30pm and at that time they messaged to say they were delayed and would arrive at 5pm or rearrange the job which I declined. They then messaged to say they would arrive at 6pm. as they had just left Hereford. I didn't think they would be able to arrive at Llanelli in an hour so I told them to forget it. I have since found somebody local who arrived earlier than he stated and sorted our problem at a fraction of a cost stated by AL Damp. Very disappointed.Answer from tradesperson:
Thank you for your feedback. While I appreciate your perspective, I do feel the review is somewhat unfair given the circumstances. I contacted you well before the scheduled appointment time to let you know we were experiencing unexpected delays, and I made it clear that our arrival would be later than originally anticipated. I also kept you updated throughout the day regarding our progress. Despite the challenges, I made every effort to honour the appointment, including arranging for someone else to collect my baby from nursery so that we could still attend your job. Ultimately, you chose to cancel when we were approximately 40 minutes away. During our conversation, you were unfortunately quite rude and stated your intention to leave a “damning review.” I apologised sincerely for the delay; however, unforeseen situations do occasionally arise, and we do our best to manage them professionally. For clarity, no work was carried out for this individual.
