What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Damp-related remedial work runs as the theme through the accounts left for the Bournemouth building surveying company, with customers describing initial surveys that lead on to damp proof courses, rendering and protective coatings. The thoroughness of that first visit stands out: more than one review highlights that the causes of damp were identified and explained clearly before any work started, with one visitor going room by room to show results and offer tips on keeping the property dry.

Named members of staff such as Daniel, Stewart, Mark Smith, Chris, Tyrie and Richard are singled out for being courteous, knowledgeable and punctual, as are Elliot and JJ, who kept customers informed on a daily basis during a render refurbishment and were described as prompt and professional.

Tidiness features strongly, with several customers noting that the house was left clear of mess and that surface preparation and the closing coat were handled with care. Customers describe the finished work as completed well, and the certainty of a clear explanation beforehand recurs across the surveys and the remedial work that follows them, with the rendering of outside walls and the ten-year guarantee on the damp proof course noted by those who commissioned it.

After a small false start and issue on my project, Kate in the office and Chris the skilled workman made my experience as stress free as possible. Thanks to them and their endless patience, my oddly shaped solid outer wall is now fully sound, waterproof, insulated and beautifully skimmed. I can now rest easy and plan decorating.

This is a very professional company. Everyone in this company is excellent - from Richard who did the survey, in the office, to John who did the work. Pricing is transparent and fair and careful detail of the work was given and carried out exactly. My home was treated with care and respect and left very clean and tidy. I highly recommend this excellent company. The work done was tanking and damp proofing.

Home Building & Surveying were prompt and tge surveyor was knowledgable and very helpfu.. within a couple of weeks the two man team arrived and worked hard for 3.5 days, in the heat! They left the job looking neat and tidy. All we are waiting for now is the tanking and plaster to dry.

We had a gutter relined and extractor fans put in due to diagnosed condensation on our walls. Had the fans put in first and they did a swap on our shower fan which was in the ceiling going up into the loft. We asked the guy to have a look into the loft to ensure this was getting extracted outside and not free into the loft space. The guy went up and checked and said nothing and continued the job. I had a bad feeling and when we had the gutters done by the same company the next day, they were more than happy to check for us. They confirmed our worries; he had just put the extractor fan in knowing the shower steam will get pumped into the loft space. If we had not checked this (as non professionals), who knows the damaged that could have been caused due to their negligence. We have not even had an apology for this major mistake just for poor communication which is dissopointing. Luke the installation manager avoided discussing my concerns and just didnt really show empathy or humanity when voicing my greivences. They have amended the works as requested. The 2 stars belong to the 2 amazing guys who did the gutters and helped check the mistakes as they were friendly and quick and would only recomend these 2 members of staff.

I can't thank Daniel enough for responding to my request for help. The render underneath our bow window has developed damp patches and we were at a loss to fathom out the cause. Daniel quickly gave me a number of possible issues to consider. This helped enormously, as we think we may now have found the cause. Just waiting for the dry patches to dry, to be sure! Thank you so much Daniel. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Tyrie and richard came all the way from Newcastle to do our damp. I would highly recommend them. Did a good job and they made sure our house was clear of any mess before they left .

Excellent service. The booking procedure was easy and their surveyor, Mark Smith was a delight to deal with. Arriving on time, he was courteous, friendly, extremely professional and very succinct in explaining things.
