    Damp in the kitchen
    I hired this tradesperson to carried out a repair on the kitchen wall in my house on agreement that the job will be carried out for 2 hours and billed me £550 which I paid them cash because that was the only payment method they accepted. During the consultation, I was told that I can redecorated the wall after 2 weeks(paint the wall) meanwhile, I have contacted a tradesperson before who said he will spend a day to carried out the job including painting of the wall and everything. However, A.L said the redecoration (painting) is 2 weeks after the fixing of the wall in order for the chemical to penetrate that is why I agreed to hire them. These couple came on the 12/5/26 for 20minutes and left the job uncompleted. When I contacted them regarding this issue their augment is they believe they have completed the job but agreed to come on a gesture of goodwill on the 26/5/26 at 16:30 for completion , however, they never showed up. these people are manipulative, a rogue and not trustworthy

    Answer from tradesperson:

    This review does not accurately reflect what occurred.Payment was made by bank transfer, not cash, and the contracted work was completed in line with the agreed quotation. As damp specialists, we treat the underlying issue, we do not provide a decorating service. We advised that the area should be sanded before painting, which is standard practice, you refused to do this so offered to carry out a small plaster patch as a gesture of goodwill. We arranged a return visit and you cancelled the appointment when we were 5 minutes away. After we turned around, further demands, accusations that we had been dishonest about our whereabouts and threats followed. We also had to deal with an unsuccessful chargeback attempt despite the agreed work having been completed. We stand by the quality of our work and always aim to resolve concerns professionally and fairly. We encourage prospective customers to consider our many positive reviews alongside this disputed account when making their decision.

    Small damp patch hallway by front door
    Job went very well. Alan was able to distinguish the problem over the phone and was able to fit me in within the week. Explained exactly what he was doing and the aftercare. Would recommend

    Damp wall
    I had damp work done in October, and wanted to leave a good amount of time to see that the work really solved the problem to leave an honest review. There was good and clear communication, where they were able to reassure me that it would fix the issue. They were able to come and do the work quickly and at a reasonable cost and very professional throughout. They supported me with the after care instructions and the work they did has completely solved the problem, which was penetrating damp from next doors fireplace. An issue causing big damp patches all over the wall, which was there when we bought the house 5 years ago. Really happy with the work, would definitely recommend them.
