“They also put down a protective covering all over our tiled floor, and also sealed off the area from the rest of our kitchen which stopped any plaster dust from getting all over the house - this was really appreciated!”

“We'd had major damp issues in a part of our house for many, many years and were becoming quite concerned about it. Steve came round to take a look at the issues, and we went from there. Steve is very knowledgable, and easy to talk to about such an issue. He made me feel I could trust him from the outset and we went ahead with the work.

This was booked in and began quicker than we expected which was great news for us. I enjoyed coming home each day to find the progress and it was all completed within just a few days. Steve and Barry have done a great job, they showed up bang on time each day, and didn't cause any issues bearing in mind especially that my wife works from home. They also put down a protective covering all over our tiled floor, and also sealed off the area from the rest of our kitchen which stopped any plaster dust from getting all over the house - this was really appreciated! - they also had an electrician sort out a minor issue we had too.

I came home from work on the last day to find that all the rubbish had been cleared away and they had even cleaned / mopped the floor. Honestly, if you are in need of similar work - just do it (it won't get any better on it's own!) I highly recommend these guys, such a refreshing change from some others we have had working in our house - thank you Steve and Barry!!”

“We had Steve and team around to sort out the damp in our front sitting room. Everything from the quote to the work (including some extra skimming) was carried out quickly with a minimum of fuss and mess. They are also a great bunch of guys! I hope we don't need their services again but if we do need further damp work I won't call anyone else!”

“Steve and the team carried out work relating to damp issues at our home which affected a number of walls. They were thorough, work was completed to an excellent standard and they kept dust and disruption to a minimum. Nothing was too much trouble and the team were a pleasure to have around. Would very highly recommend them. Thank you guys!”

“Really happy with the work carried out on my property. Steve visited to give estimate of works and then arranged everything. Barry and Shaun carried out the work to a high standard and they arrived on time every day and cleaned up after themselves. Would highly recommended”

“We had a fantastic experience with Steve Barry and Shaun. From start to finish, the project was handled with professionalism.

Steve orchestrated the entire job seamlessly, bringing in the right specialists at each stage, from electricians and builders to a ventilation expert. He ensured everything was carried out to a high standard and kept the project moving efficiently, all while being very fair with pricing. Steve was also great at explaining the process and what to expect, including aftercare.

Our project turned out to be much more complex than initially anticipated, but that didn’t faze the team. They went above and beyond to identify and resolve the root of the issue before even starting the initial work. Their commitment to doing things properly rather than just quickly was really appreciated.

Barry and Shaun were excellent, incredibly hard-working, friendly, and respectful, especially as I was working from home during much of the project. They took the time to help with additional fixes in our storage room without complaint, which we’re really grateful for.

A big thank you to all three of them for their professionalism and dedication. We’re so pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
