Testimonials

The following testimonial was forwarded to the manager of a member of staff following a client's telephone conversation with her.  She was shy about her name being mentioned, but we feel that credit should be given where it's due!

I wanted to write to you directly regarding Sarah. Sarah has been absolutely wonderful in dealing with our recent query about possible rising damp following three gaping damp holes which have appeared in the walls of our home. She was extremely professional, very knowledgeable about the issues and able to sensitively elicit pertinent information before offering practical and helpful advice about the need to rule out condensation and other possible causes as well as the benefits of waiting until spring prior to arranging a visit.

Damp issues are a householder's worst nightmare and especially with a young family we were extremely distressed about the situation until we contacted Sarah.  Obviously we had researched the issues, the two big damp-proofing and timber treatment firms with market share dominance as well as the independent specialist firms such as yourselves, in detail and had been met with the whole range of sales pitches around damp proof coursing, supposedly 'free' damp surveys and offers of costly surveys without addressing condensation and winter weather issues, followed by scare tactics.
Sarah was the only contact where we felt listened to, questioned and advised and where some thought went into the response. The only problem we had with Sarah was in trying to get details of her manager so that we could send this note to commend her.

We were so impressed by her calm proficiency and honest non - sales pitch approach that we have decided to rule out the other firms we have been researching and commit ourselves to engaging Dampaid.

I would like to say that I was very pleased with the work and by the general approach shown by your company from the initial survey and follow-up visit to the actual implementation.

The surveyor's explanation of the problem, solutions and additional suggestions instilled a lot of confidence. It's also refreshing to find a firm that turns up when expected, sticks with the job until it's finished and doesn't seek to expand the scope of work. I feel confident that Paul and his team have carried out a very thorough job.

We bought our detached house in Llandudno, North Wales and had a damp and timber survey carried out by a specialist company recommended by the local estate agent.  The report informed us that there was severe woodworm and rising damp which was going to cost us a few thousand pounds to put right.  We decided to instruct our own independent damp and timber specialist to conduct a survey and called in Dampaid.  We were delighted when we received their indepth report informing us that the severe woodworm was in fact non-active and did not need treatment and the rising damp would be cured by the lowering of the external ground levels to below the slate damp proof course which was already in the property!  We had this work carried out by a local builder and saved a considerable amount of money.  If you want an honest assessment on any dampness or timber problems then I recommend you call Dampaid North Wales to carry out the inspection.

After receiving a competitive quote for damp and timber treatment prior to the completion of our house purchase, we instructed Dampaid to carry out the works.  Dampaid provided a friendly, thorough and professional service and I would certainly not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the future.

I found the Dampaid surveyor very professional, genuine and approachable.  I was invited to accompany him during his survey and everything was explained to me as he went along.  I definitely felt like a valued customer without any pushiness or pressure.  The work went ahead as scheduled without any delays or interruptions and they left the house very clean and tidy when the work was finished.  I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dampaid to anyone.

I was very pleased with Dampaid.  Their prices were competitive, and their surveyors assessment of the job, giving impartial advice, was excellent.  The work was scheduled for a time convenient for me and when finished the house was left clean and tidy.  I would certainly recommend them.

We would just like to take this opportunity of saying how very impressed I was with your company.  From the first contact through to completion of the job everyone has been efficient, friendly and professional.  We would have no problem in recommending your company in the future.

Having received a distressing quotation from a local builder to carry out treatment on "the worst case of dry rot he had ever seen" which would require me to move out for at least a fortnight, I contacted Dampaid to get a second opinion.  Their surveyor was extremely helpful and explained in detail the difference between my so called Dry Rot which was in fact Wet Rot caused by my leaking shower.  Their workmen repaired the faulty mastic to the shower and replaced the damaged skirting boards and 2 floorboards all whilst I was still living there and for £8,000 less than the builder had quoted me!  If you want an honest opinion and a correct diagnosis of your problem, then I would recommend Dampaid any day.

The service from start to finish was very professional.  They provided a cost effective service with the minimum of disruption to our household which was left clean and tidy when they had finished.  I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Dampaid to anyone requiring damp proofing work.
