What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Purchasers and owners dealing with damp, dry rot or wall tie problems in Swansea describe a consistent pattern of thorough investigation before any recommendation is given. Dean is the name that recurs most often, with Gary also singled out, and reviewers repeatedly highlight how carefully the property is examined and how plainly the findings are explained.

A number of customers describe being reassured that alarming-sounding issues such as rising damp or dry rot were either absent or minor, and honesty about what genuinely needs doing stands out, including one report confirming that problems flagged in another survey were not of concern. Quotes are described as prompt and clear, and the remedies discussed include wall stitching, wall tie replacement and treatment of dry rot together with repair of the damage it caused.

Workmanship is described as immaculate and efficient, with progress updates provided as the job advances. Tidiness, punctuality and a friendly, professional manner are mentioned across the accounts, and the same names come up for advice offered after minor work is completed. Empathy while stressful discoveries are being worked through is a theme running through much of the feedback, as is the willingness to spend time talking options over before any commitment is made.

Dean came to our property which had possible damp concerns. He is a delightful, considerate gentleman ( rare these days ) He carried out a thorough survey and concluded that the property did not need an injection course for rising damp even though a previous company had wanted to charge thousands of pounds for treatment that wasn't necessary. It's not often that you get such honesty . Normally contractors will want to carry out expensive work . I'm 70 years of age and have rarely met a more principled, honest tradesman .

If I could give more stars I would. Dean and Gary have been excellent. Their professionalism, reliability and knowledge allowed us to deal with a damp issue requiring their specialist input. They not only showed mastery in their workmanship but they were even able to talk us through the actual ways of rectifying the problem, putting us at ease in what felt like a really stressful situation. I'd highly recommend pioneer and would 100% use their service in the future.

My wife and I would definitely recommend Pioneer Damp Proofing. After identifying dry rot in our property, Dean and Gary carried out extensive work to treat the problem and repair the damage caused by the issue. Both Dean and Gary were extremely helpful and showed great empathy while providing excellent workmanship. The communication throughout the whole process was excellent as Dean gave my wife and I regular progress updates. Lots of advice and recommendations were provided along the way too. All in all, Pioneer Damp Proofing provide an excellent service with great care and attention.

Great, honest service from Dean. He advised what issues needed priority and talked through the process for addressing the issues clearly. Quote was provided in good time and a date agreed for the work to be completed (weather permitting). The initial job (wall stitching) was completed within a couple of days, Dean and colleague were friendly, efficient and professional and the finished job was immaculate. We required wall tie replacement too which again, Dean quoted us for . We had two options for this which Dean talked us through in detail. This work was completed again within a few days. Great service, highly recommend.

Dean visited a commercial premises we’re refurbishing for the NHS. His advice was really useful and thorough. He’s reliable and honest and we’ll certainly use him again in the future if needed. Thanks

I asked Dean to complete a report following a surveyors report on a property I am purchasing. Dean went to the Property with details of the surveyors concerns. He noted that the had done a survey himself several years earlier. He found that all the areas brought up by the surveyors report were not of concern. He provided an email to confirm. He refused to charge me for this. It is so refreshing to find there are still kind responsible people out there.

Dean was fantastic. After having a worrying report of suspected damp from a surveyor, I asked Pioneer to come and carry out a damp survey of the property. He was prompt, fitted it around me as I work away and was very thorough. He carried out the survey and assured me that there was nothing to worry about. There was a lot of technical things that he explained about that I didn’t understand, but the outcome was a small bit of cosmetic repair. I could do that myself with the products dean recommended. I cannot recommend him enough. What a service! Thanks Dean!
