I used http://www.eaglepreservationsuk.com/ earlier this year to damp proof a hearth before having a stove installed - they were really excellent and I would definitely call on them again if I needed any damp proofing work done. :D

Hi there, I work for a local building firm and I would recommend a company called Stonehouse. They are not local, but they do cover all SW London areas and are very good.

If you call ask for Angela.

These guys aren't local, but we had them recommended through a friend in the construction business down south: http://www.remcure.co.uk/

They did a fabulous job on our previous home in Pimlico, also provided proper advice regarding how much of the basement needed damp proofing. Be warned - proper damp proofing is tricky stuff and there are tons of people out there doing things that will only fix the problem short term. Doing a proper job is both very expensive and very messy, they had to peel everything back to the brickwork. However the quality of work was excellent, comes with a 10 year guarantee, and I know it was done to a good standard as I had people check up on the work afterwards.

Hey everyone,

We live in Balham and have got some damp patches that appeared during the summer in our basement that need sorting out. The biggest patch is in a corner near the floor and then we've one smaller palm-sized one in the middle of the wall

We'd like some recommendations from anyone who has personal experience with a company who has helped them out for this type of work.

Thanks so much!
