Recomendation for a damp proofer


Recommended Posts

I just wanted to recommend an excellent damp proofer Dave Plastercare: 07932505589


He is local to East Dulwich and very experienced.


He came round at very short notice and identified the problem quickly (we have had other damp specialists, many of which were also on this forum, round who have ummed and arghed and not really been able to suggest much beyond patching up work which hasn't solved the problem) offered a great price and all in all very helpful.

I too would like to recommend Dave Reilly at Plastercare 07932 505589. Dave sorted out my damp wall. He came over to look at it, identified the problem and gave me a price and a date when he could do the work. He arrived on the agreed date, removed the damp, re-plastered and sealed the section of the wall and injected it. The wall is now fine and I have been able to repaint it. Dave was very helpful throughout.

I'd like to add to the recommendations for Dave.


I called him about a damp problem after seeing his recommendations on here. He arrived early, talked me through what he would need to do, caused minimal mess, reduced his original quote as the job was more straightforward than first seemed and gave me free advice on a couple of areas that I was concerned about. I wouldn't hesitate to use Dave again.

I'd also like to recommend Dave. He called me back quickly, and arrived on time, to check out a problem in my Telegraph Hill house and gave me some terrific advice as to how to handle the damp issue. Advised me I didn't need any particular work done (how often do you hear that from a tradesman?)and gave me useful tips on what I should do to fix the small issues myself.I liked his honestly and candour, also helpful approach.

I'd also like to throw out a recommendation for Dave. He popped around when he said he would, looked at the problem, and then ended up giving me 30 minutes of advice on how I could fix the problem myself, half a bag of sand, and some cement waterproofing additive free to do so! Incredible - don't often find that these days.


I definitely advise giving him a call if you have any sort of damp issue.

I would recommend Dave. We had two 'specialist' damp proffers tell us the large damp patch in our kitchen was damp and required thousands of pounds to repair. Dave took one look at it and confirmed it was not damp. A few months later and Dave really does seem to have fixed the problem for about 1/5 of what the other 'experts' quoted us. He has a direct style which I quite like though it is very direct! Would recommend to others.

Echo all of the above.


Dave advised that a 'damp' wall underneath a window in our spare bedroom was a result of us drying laundry in the room without opening a window. A simple condensation issue. Very glad I asked his opinion as a well recommended roofing company told me the problem was being caused by poor external pointing. They were wrong, he was right.

Another recommendation for Dave - he damp proofed and re-plastered our very damp downstairs bay window. He charged a very reasonable price, he was very neat and tidy, arrived exactly when he said he would and the end result is of a really high standard. He's also great at generally giving advice (eg what we'd need to do when putting the skirting board back on) which is incredibly helpful.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
