Damp Proofing Specialist

If you are looking for a damp proofing specialist then I can help you. Here at P Doyle CSRT, I can come to visit your home and give you an independent survey to correctly diagnose any problems that your home may be facing from damp or timber conditions that require treatment.

If your home suffers from damp then having it misdiagnosed can more importantly you could end up paying for treatments that are not necessary and then once again after you realise that the problem still persists.

Damp and timber problems are often some of the most misdiagnosed and mistreated areas in the housing industry, and this is usually because homeowners put their trust in a damp proofing specialist who usually have a vested interest in selling treatments of one kind or another and are complete strangers to you. Most people will have no idea whether these treatments will actually work, although they expect they probably will, and often they are never told of the alternatives that may be available. What's more, they can be encouraged to contact unreliable companies by building society surveyors, who regularly advise mortgage applicants and others to consult a damp proofing specialist.  Unfortunately they seldom clarify exactly what it is they mean by 'specialist' and people, very often in time pressured desperation, contact anyone they can find that offers them even a glimmer of hope and usually offers some form of free survey to entice homeowners to use their service.

Once you have accepted the free survey the so called damp proofing specialist has one foot through your door and will take this opportunity to point out faults in your home that require action to cure the problem. Often the case is that treatment can be affordable or very little action needs to be taken, but these people will take every opportunity to inform you of the expensive treatments that you can be provided with by themselves and therefore often free surveys can not be trusted.

At P Doyle CSRT, I have no vested interest in offering you a service to cure your problem but I will give you a thorough report that will detail what course of action is needed to treat your housing concerns and also give you a complete diagnosis of the problems you have and how they can be treated or avoided. This way you can then find the appropriate damp proofing specialist contractor and know what you are talking about when instructing treatments to be carried out as well as being safe in the knowledge that you will not be taken to the cleaners when it comes to costs.
