The Home Building & Surveying Company Reviews 

Richard was very knowledgeable & helpful regarding our damp issues. Would definitely recommend.

Matt was extremely knowledgeable good advice for our damp condensation problems. Fans offered and PIV to resolve condensation

Richard who came by was really knowledgeable and provided great advice for us to repair our problems. Very patient and explained everything well. Genuinely honest and nice. Highly recommended

had a great experience with Matt. He explained everything clearly and in great detail, showed me examples, and talked me through the installation process step by step. Everything was explained in a professional and easy-to-understand way, with no pressure to make a decision. I really appreciated his honest, helpful approach and would happily recommend him to others.

Generally a good experience., The work was done on time and very efficiently by JJ and Brandon. My dealings with customer services were also good.
However, I was left with a feeling that this was an expensive task and left me without the wow factor I expected from seeing the final result. The full repair and application of SecoFlex took about four working days for two people, I realise that the covering is a premium product but I feel what I was charged was excessive for the overall result, even when charges for scaffolding are added in,
Also, I was told that the finish was guaranteed for twenty years but the guarantee certificate I received was only for ten years.
So overall, a good job guaranteed for ten years left me feeling overcharged, as I say for something without the wow factor.

We booked a damp survey through the company which was arranged promptly and the issues and recommended resolutions were explained well. We chose to get the work done through the company as we were happy with the information and plan provided by the surveyor, plus the benefit of the warranty. We had the damp proofing work completed by Dan and Richard who were both friendly and knowledgeable, arrived on time each day and got the work completed in great time. We also had some extractor fans fitted and rubble removed on the last day by Tyrie and Charlie who were both lovely and thorough. The team provided great advice and didn't try to recommend any unnecessary investigations or actions. I would highly recommend all the lads who came to do the work who were all really professional and left the place tidy when they finished up the jobs.

Called on Thursday morning had adam or alex cant remember his name. Next day he came very polite seen the trouble we were having with damp coming from them subfloor.
He explained what was happening and the remedy to put right.
Price was a bit extreme but learnt from other jobs we had done and cheapest isn't the best option and they will be starting in a weeks time. Hope I can add to this review once the job is completed but so far so good 👍

.We can not fault these guys from start to finish. We put a post on check a trade these called me Friday we made arrangement's for a surveyor to come Tuesday, Richard was so helpful talked us through everything inside and outside, he sorted out his paperwork and called the office they came back with a quote we agreed and the following Tuesday they were at ours. The work they did was great looked after my carpets kept everything tidy, they had to knock off all the plaster from a wall replaster it, excellent job done looks lovely and they cleared up hoovered was impressed. Same outside cleaned up after. I would recommend this company they finished the work Thursday i paid and got Guarantee Friday. Thank you for doing a great job Michelle & Peter.

Thorough job and took time to explain each step of the work. Was very polite and demonstrated respect for our property and privacy

A good experience all round for Damp Proof course and some rising damp. The office have been very efficient with their admin setting up appointments and issuing instuctions and the surveyor gave us a very clear run down of what was needed and other additional options we could also consider. The lads doing the work did a great job. Jay explained exactly what they were doing and then talked me through everything after it was completed. The newly plastered wall has never looked so good. They cleaned up after themselves and left everything tidy. Extra time was taken to ensure all the guttering was clear and leaks were fixed. Very pleased with work.

I booked a damp survey through this company which took place this week. They booked in the survey immediately and arranged a confirmation call the day before. Ritchard arrived on time, was friendly and knowledgeable, and quickly identified my issue and pointed me in the right direction. There was no attempt to upsell me or recommend unnecessary or inappropriate investigations or actions. I would highly recommend the company and Ritchard in particular.

Great company from start to finish, always kept me informed and we're so easy to deal with highly recommend.

Excellent service !! Richard had a look at the damp on my dining room ceiling / wall and identified the problem immediately- was informative all the time he was here explaining about the damp and how it came about and what should be the next steps - very professional , on time and very polite and helpful too . I couldn’t recommend his services or this company more !!

Peter carried out our survey and was very informative about the process.
Then our damp proofing was carried out by Tyrie - who I cannot speak highly enough about. He arrived promptly, explained every step of the process; showing the work as he went so we could get a better understanding. He was friendly, professional and tidy. Every room was left exactly how he found it, tidying up any debris or dust. He was also mindful of our pets and the noise, which again was really appreciated.
Cannot recommend Tyrie enough, fingers crossed for as great results! 🤞🏼

Ritchard arrived bang on time. Very appreciative of the advice given to resolve the penetrative damp issue.

From start to finish our experience was first class everyone was really friendly from Laura who arranged the surveyor (sorry can't remember his name) who was knowledgeable and explained everything to us and how the problem would be solved to Tyree who carried out the work he was friendly, thorough and cleaned up after him
thank you all

Very good experience. The survey was carried out by Peter, he was very thorough and explained everything clearly. Office staff were prompt and helpful in response to emails and phone calls. The damp proofing was done by Dan, Paul and Tyrie. They did an excellent job, there was much less mess and disruption than I had expected. An unforeseeable problem occurred as there was a hot water pipe inside a cavity wall. Paul and Dan did a great job of sorting this while Tyrie cracked on with treating the internal walls.

I was impressed by the initial consultation which was thorough, comprehensive and explanatory. Your office staff were on the ball and kept me informed as to when damp proofing would begin (the only 'potential' error was not telling me when the electricians were due to arrive to fit fans: thankfully I was at home when they arrived - from Bournemouth!- so what could have been a disaster was averted). The work was carried out with every care taken so that messy building work made as little impact as possible on my day-to-day living spaces - which I really appreciated. The builders (Ross and Harry) were a good team and were great to deal with (efficient, dedicated to the job in hand, and personable) and Ross masterminded all the operations of others who helped out with doing the injections etc. He always had time for my questions. I was really pleased with their work from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend your company and all the good people you employ. Thank you!!

Richard came to our property and was honest, knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. He had numerous suggestions on how we could delay doing expensive works to help the damp issues that have arisen. We will also be using their services in conjunction with our contractors to make right the issues upon our next renovation works we are planning. I highly recommend their services and a free consultation really meant free.

Very informative and polite surveyor. Can exactly on time. Very thorough. Gave good options for work to be done.
