David's help, knowledge and advice goes way beyond his first class Damp & Timber treatment profession. As he proved, if there is a problem, he'll find it...If there is no problem, he'll be 100% honest and walk away. Thoroughly decent, honest and transparent service.

Dave was very quick and responsive to coming around to the property. He did a full survey of the property and was very professional in dealing with the problems. I would recommend his services to anyone. Where other companies try to over charge and recommend works to be done that are not necessary, fave is honest and reliable. Great service thank you.
