DAMP SURVEY AND SPECIFICATION OF WORK – CH5 3LN

The client had an ongoing problem with dampness, which was caused by a leak from a balcony patio area above. Several builders had attempted to fix the issue leaving the client having paid £ 3,000 without a suitable repair. We identified the issue and provided a specification of work and oversight of the remedial building work completed. We solved the damp.
