Looking for a help with damp !! Need a builder

Hi

I used a builder recommended off the forum, Dave 07932505589. I asked him to give me advice on a property I'm currently in the process of buying. The survey report came back as very damning but Dave fully checked the property and provided a very responsible quote for fixing the problem.


Thanks Miranda

Whatever you do go for a company that will guarantee it, without that the work is essentially worthless. We bought a place where they got their "mate builder" to do the damp proofing, it failed and they had no recourse so had to discount the house by the amount it was going to cost us to fix it.
Where is the damp? There are lots of people on here that have had experiences, so it might be worth mentioning it before calling in the professionals (I had varied experiences including a total fantasist). For instance I live on a hill and had a mystery spot. Turns out that my first floor next door neighbour had pierced a pipe leading to a radiator and a slow leak was coming into my chimney stack and underneath my kitchen floor.

    • If you are looking for a trustworthy professional, I highly recommend Niko. He has consistently delivered quality work. No job is too small, and he is always accommodating. He has helped me out on a number of occasions, often at short notice when unexpected issues arose. His number is 07818 607583. 
    • Well, they do turn them away from the A&E route at Kings and rightly so they employ GPs and if after triaging you’re determined to have a GP type problem you are sent to see one of the GPs on site or close to the site. 
    • My bike (a ELOPS 120 step over classic from Decathlon) was stolen from outside The Belham this afternoon. I locked it up while I collected my kids, then the street was so busy that I left it there while I walked them home. Did a few other things at home, came back about 5.30pm and it was gone. Sharing just in case anyone sees it or finds it anywhere - it’s a few years old and the chain is a bit rusty/makes a clicking sound so maybe there’s a slight chance someone would dump it! Really annoying and just a reminder to be really careful with bikes. The picture shows the bike model from the Decathlon website.
    • Thanks, I didn't know that.  People are even more stupid than I thought then, if they are willing to wait hours in A&E for an ingrown toenail. I presume they don't get put at the front of the queue. Why isn't the 111 service more widely advertised? That puts you in touch with a doctor, who will advise on the phone or visit, and if necessary  you will be advised to go to A&E or they will arrange an ambulance to take you.
