Mr. and Mrs. Pool contacted Damp Solutions UK due to concerns about damp patches appearing on the ground floor walls of their terrace house. After a thorough inspection, our CSRT surveyor confirmed the presence of rising damp, which was causing damage to the internal plaster and paintwork.

Issues Identified

  1. Rising damp affecting ground floor walls
  2. Damage to internal plaster and paintwork
  3. Potential risk of further structural damage if not addressed

After obtaining several quotes, the Pools chose a reputable company with experience in treating rising damp in period properties.

Treatment Process

  1. Damp Solutions UK conducted a detailed survey to assess the extent of the rising damp problem.
  2. A combination of techniques including the installation of a mortar injection damp proof course and damp proofing membranes was recommended to address the issue.
  3. Damp Solutions UK also recommended improving the property’s external ground levels and ensuring adequate drainage to prevent future damp problems.

Outcome

Following the treatment, the Pools noticed a significant improvement in the appearance of their walls, with the damp patches disappearing entirely. They were pleased with the professional approach of their damp proofing specialist and were reassured that their property was now protected against future rising damp issues.

Testimonials

Words that matter to us

Ruby Alemu

★★★★★

We hired Damp Solutions UK after moving in and requiring damp proofing and some flooring which required treating underneath for moisture.

I was really impressed with Ben and the team: work was on time and on schedule which is often difficult to find in tradespersons. Communication was great and Ben kept me informed of progress and any issues which had previously been discussed at our survey, even helping me out with a very small plastering job which hadn’t been previously discussed.

They left the house as clean/tidy as could be and showed respect for our belongings. I would highly recommend and would use again.

Ben and Dale at Damp Solutions have been brilliant.

I’ve had multiple jobs done over the years and have happily recommended them to others.

They are prompt, professional, straightforward and always get back to you in a timely manner. Lovely team

I contacted Dale because of a rising damp issue in our home. They were very professional from the start and put our minds at ease straight away.

The work was started and finished when they said it would be and the guys that did the job were really clean and tidy considering how dirty the job is.

Dale is a great guy to work with, and says all the right things that a customer would want to hear. I would have no hesitation in recommending Damp Solutions UK.

★★★★★

Excellent work from start to finish. The whole process, from free survey, quotation, appointment and the actual work, professionally conducted. The quotation, with drawings showing the details of the work, was given to me the next day after the survey.

The price is competitive and fair. They pay attention to every detail and clean up to a very good standard, for messy indoor work like this. They treated additional areas with rising damp discovered during the work without additional charges too.

Highly recommended and your damp problems are in good hands!

We've used Ben as our plasterer for years, ever since he started up working for himself. He skimmed the whole of our last house, and is making his way through our current one (at the speed I can decorate it!)

Why do we still use Ben? Because nothing has changed; he arrives to quote when he says he will, is polite and friendly, delivers the quote on time, and is competitively priced, does an excellent job and leaves no mess.

One of his lads, Mitchell, skimmed our landing and bedroom ceiling yesterday and did a cracking job, a real credit to the company. Will never use a different plasterer.

Arrived on time, everyone was very polite and friendly throughout. Quality of work seems to be excellent and they accommodated a few small changes we requested without problem.

Really impressed with how well they kept on top of cleanliness on a daily basis and particularly at the end.

Dealing with Ben has been easy from the start and I would highly recommend Damp Solutions UK.

These guys are amazing. I was quite worried about the peeling paint in my house. Ben reassured this could be fixed and was thorough in his explanation and quote.

The team arrived on time were lovely and were meticulous in covering and protecting my home. They cleaned up before leaving and explained the work they had carried out!

I would recommend them, they have a lot of experience and knowledge and made me feel really comfortable. Thank you for your hard work.

Jenny Cuddy

I had rising damp fixed round our fireplace in a period property and the room re-plastered. I couldn’t be happier with the work completed by Ben.

It’s been completed to a high standard and they were friendly, very tidy and completed it in a great timescale.

I found Ben to be reliable and would definitely recommend!

After scratching our heads, wondering how we could eradicate the moisture in our walls, we called in Ben's team at Damp Solutions, who had expert knowledge in dealing with rising damp in period properties.

They are specialists in thier trade and managed to cleanly, successfully and cost effectively damp proof the entire ground floor of the house in a special lime render.

The work was of an extremely high standard, the crew worked hard to finish the job in good time and I was impressed with the results.

You have rescued a piece of history for us, thank you so much.

Elizabeth Martin

★★★★★

Ben was a great choice for damp-proofing and additional plastering works to my house.

He was particularly good at keeping me informed along the way.

He provided a detailed quote and I was happy to proceed and leave all the works under his care.

James Wright

★★★★★

Damp Solutions were very timely with quoting and completing the work required. We had some masonry and timber treatment done in our cellar and the site was left very tidy too.

We were going through a re-mortgage which required documentation as evidence of the work completed and Ben provided everything we required. The advice that Ben provided was clear and communication in general was also excellent.

I would not hesitate to recommend Damp Solutions. Excellent job.
