more than one opinion. You have put together some guidelines to help you know
what questions you should be asking to make sure you choose the right
specialist remedial rising damptreatment company who can solve your rising damp for good.
The Company
How long have the company been trading? Are they members of
trade bodies the BWPDA (British Wood Preserving and Damp-Proofing Association)
and/or the PCA (Property Care Association)? If they have a long history of
remedial damp-proofing work they should be rather good at it. Do they have case
studies and customer reviews you can see? Reputation says a lot in business.
How did you hear about them?
The Work
What work is going to take place understand fully. The
inside of your home are needed to be accesses by workmen. Will any hazardous
damp proofing chemicals be used? Will you need to budget for a third party to
finish and decorate or will they be making good any invasive work? Make sure

mould prevention.

reputable, they'll have no problem in guaranteeing their remedial work as
standard. How long is acceptable for a damp proof guarantee on expensive works?
Two years? Five? Ten? How about Thirty? Is an insurance-backed guarantee offered
from GPI (Guarantee Protection Insurance), and if not, why not? Make sure your
guarantee is worth the paper it is written on.
The Service

reputable damp company has treated your property and guaranteed it. Your rising
damp will be cured if they've worked properly and you'll never need to use that
