Great service from start to finish, a lovely company with lovely staff, they did an amazing job, and am very pleased with results
A very good experience from the start of my journey with DPS. The lady that answered my call, was very friendly and helpful, with a lovely smiley voice. Then the lovely rep came to explain everything in a really good understandable way. Everything that was going to be done, he did a very thorough detailed examination on all the walls, to confirm we did have damp, explaining all the time what he was doing and why. Then Lee and his team turned up, what a team. Professional,friendly, and amazing workers, efficient no nonsense.The job all in all done with no fuss and done very well, with care and mindfulness. Then at the end, thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. What an amazing company. We would highly recommend.
Telephone and e-mail communication with Damp Proofing Solutions were helpful, productive and efficient. The damp survey was carried out at a time to suit us and was very informative, the findings and recommendations were clearly explained and accepted. A date was agreed there and then for remedial works to be carried out, this was completed on the agreed date to our entire satisfaction. The installation team carried out their work tidily and efficiently and cleaned up well before leaving. I've been very pleased and satisfied with the service provided by Damp Proofing Solutions Dudley.

Chose this company after seeing previous good reviews.
Surveyor was thorough and communicated all possible work needed well. Managed to get job done sooner than I had expected.
Workers were professional, helpful, polite and made good attempt to cover up where working, and also clear up too
When additional issues were highlighted they arranged to be done on a Saturday to get finished.
A knowledgeable hard working team.

Excellent service from beginning to end. The initial survey of the house helped us identify the extent of the damp, but also which areas of mould just needed to air out. The team doing the work were always on time, friendly and professional. Not only would we recommend, but we plan on using them again next year as we get round to addressing the damp in other parts of the house

The professional advice and other helpful tips we received from Stuart were very sound. The problem we thought we had with damp was quickly identified as being due to condensation. His sound advice has proved to be absolutely correct.
The work needed was undertaken with great thought and care by Lee. There was little or no mess and everything was left in a tidy state.
We have already recommended their services to a friend.

We had a woodworm survey undertaken costing £50 some weeks ago by Damp Proof Solutions for our daughter.
The survey took at most 20 minutes some of which time was spent on a private phone call outside.
The suggested treatment for woodworm was merely spraying alone at a cost of £2500 and with no guarantee!
We would be interested to know what the sqm rate for treatment is by DPS as this is a bungalow that is suspended flooring at the front and solid floor to the rear.
We didn't even feel confident that it was actually going to be done through the company.
The surveyor made no mention of floors needing replacing despite clear damage where they had given way. He estimated the job to be done in one morning! We also were asked to phone him on a personal number he gave us and he made it patently clear a decision must made by the end of that day.
We went elsewhere and had the initial spraying alone done for £500 where the extent of the fragility of some of the floorboards became even more apparent.
We were informed exactly what had been done, what remedial treatment was essential to be done with a 15 year insurance backed guarantee that is peace of mind as the company will return at no further cost if, though unlikely, it were to reoccur.
As a qualified joiner as well as fully qualified and accredited contractor to treat woodworm
we therefore then asked our contractor to undertake all of the work. This was extensive but still came below what DPS estimated even though it now also included total floor removal and replacement in the kitchen and part replacement of the lounge floorboards with treated chip board and the further spraying of joists exposed in that process.
This work took another whole day on top of the initial inspection and spraying with the identified product by a qualified contractor stated on our guarantee.
We had already had a step ladder go through the floorboards in the bay of one room, clear to see by the £50 DPS inspection as uncovered but no advice at all was provided about resolving this.
Unknown to us my daughter's partner had contacted DPS two weeks earlier who told him they never quote for woodworm alone and a damp survey would also be necessary.
This survey cost he was told would be £750 so my daughter stopped him from agreeing!
DPS claim this would have been a written report which would account for the cost but it was not what was asked for.
We have no written evidence it was DPS my daughter's partner had contacted earlier but they are adamant that it was the very same company.
We confirmed to Trustpilot when DPS wanted to have our review removed that the company definitely was Damp Proof Solutions as we have a bank transfer to DPS recorded on our bank account.
I feel more aggrieved that the company tried to have our honest review removed as I had relied heavily on their very positive accolades, to decide to pay for their survey.
To try and demean a different accredited company is also a poor response in our opinion.
DPS has not clarified anything and I would not recommend using them.

We had a recurring penetrative damp problem in 2 rooms upstairs and downstairs on 3 walls. The whole job took 3 days as promised at the survey. Very professional finish and we are in no doubt the problem has been cured.

A very neat and tidy job completed and employee took extra care to ensure everywhere was cleaned up and tidy especially with plaster dust that was inevitable walked on the driveway. Couldn’t ask for more.

This was a large 3 day damp job to the side and corner front wall of my 93 year old Dad's 1930's house in Coventry.
It took me ages to find a company I could trust and the delay was worth it!
Alex and Ben were fantastic. Wow, they work hard!
They were extremely professional; explaining the process, old terribly spore filled plaster off, injecting the walls, boarding then finishing with sleek, smooth plaster.
They cleaned up as they went, respectful of my Dad's treasured gardens back and front - no messy throwing stuff in a skip or in the back garden.
They left the areas immaculately clean.
My Dad, Clive and I are delighted with the result.
Thank you Damp Proofing Solutions.
