Testimonial
Joel and his colleagues were exceptionally polite, friendly, and respectful. As a homeowner, it makes all the difference when you can trust the people working in your property, and they made us feel completely comfortable. The communication throughout was excellent, with Joel keeping us informed at every stage and answering all our questions with patience and clarity.
For their genuine and honest advice, high-quality workmanship, and overall professionalism, we cannot recommend Joel and the DampCav team highly enough. The final result is excellent, and we are thrilled to have a damp-free home again. Google Review 2025
Joel from DampCav had previously done damp proofing for me, so when my kitchen floor started dipping, I contacted them again. Joel quickly diagnosed dry rot, and he, Josh, and their apprentice Izaac worked hard to replace the joists and floorboards. Their attention to detail was excellent — they even refitted my skirting boards. As a single mother, I really appreciated how comfortable and respected they made me feel. Highly recommend DampCav for their expertise and professionalism. Google Review 2025
One word.. Exceptional !! .. These guys stripped back a wall in my utility room which was a mess with damp , from the floor to part way up the window and built it back up again, including damp proof course. Leaving it boarded and plastered. They did a fantastic job and I cant thank them enough. Joel and his workmate were really helpful, freindly and supportive. I highly recommend Dampcav to anyone with damp issues. Very good price too. The job took longer than expected and they had to come back the day after for a few hours but did not charge extra. Thank you very much Joel. Google Review 2025
