Home Building & Surveying Company | Expert Damp Proofing Treatments & Surveys

"This is a very professional company. Everyone in this company is excellent - from Richard who did the survey, in the office, to John who did the work. Pricing is transparent and fair and careful detail of the work was given and carried out exactly. My home was treated with care and respect and left very clean and tidy. I highly recommend this excellent company. The work done was tanking and damp proofing."

"Home Building & Surveying were prompt and tge surveyor was knowledgable and very helpfu.. within a couple of weeks the two man team arrived and worked hard for 3.5 days, in the heat! They left the job looking neat and tidy. All we are waiting for now is the tanking and plaster to dry."

"We had a gutter relined and extractor fans put in due to diagnosed condensation on our walls. Had the fans put in first and they did a swap on our shower fan which was in the ceiling going up into the loft. We asked the guy to have a look into the loft to ensure this was getting extracted outside and not free into the loft space. The guy went up and checked and said nothing and continued the job. I had a bad feeling and when we had the gutters done by the same company the next day, they were more than happy to check for us. They confirmed our worries; he had just put the extractor fan in knowing the shower steam will get pumped into the loft space. If we had not checked this (as non professionals), who knows the damaged that could have been caused due to their negligence. We have not even had an apology for this major mistake just for poor communication which is dissopointing. Luke the installation manager avoided discussing my concerns and just didnt really show empathy or humanity when voicing my greivences. They have amended the works as requested. The 2 stars belong to the 2 amazing guys who did the gutters and helped check the mistakes as they were friendly and quick and would only recomend these 2 members of staff."

"I recently had a damp survey done by this company.After the surveyor explained to us and pointed out the damp problems in my house,we decided to have a damp proof course done and a back kitchen wall rendered and done with secoflex which had been recommended,with a 10 year guarantee.This had originally been painted with masonery paint. The work was positive from the surveyor (Daniel)and Chris who did the damp proofing and the rendering of outside brickwork and secoflex applied.Chris is helpful,polite and trustworthy,explained it all to us.Secoflex is thick and of high quality,we were pleased with the result. The job took a bit longer than was originally told because Chris was on his own.This was not a problem.We looked after him with cups of tea and coffee and biscuits to keep him going.Many Thanks, Julie and Gary. Just received my guarantees today 15th April 2026."

"Do Not use this company. Firstly they will send you a surveyor who initially asked why I had painted my living room in the colour I had nothing to do with the damp problem, maybe it was because I liked the colour. Then he complained that the kitchen lights were too bright so I found him a candle. He then went onto say that in the past to prevent humidity and condensation people would turn up their heating and leave the windows open. This guy is younger than my grandson, and should try being raised in a cold draughty farm house where ice on the inside of the windows was the norm throughout the winter and the only heating on offer was a coal fire in the living room and if you were lucky a range in the kitchen. The 'tradesman' arrived and proceeded to take the plaster off the wall in the bay window where to damp problem was, he then advised me that the floor was soaking wet and needed to be replaced, this did not show up in the survey even with all the gadgets he had at his disposal. The floor in the bay window needed to be replaced as you are already into a job it would be very difficult to get someone else in to do this so I had to go with their quote of an extra £920.00 plus VAT. I was also offered a wall mounted fan for the kitchen, I was shown a sample of this fan which appeared to only need to be wall mounted and plugged in oh no he kept talking about trunking but I was unable to see why you would need any trunking as there was a plug close to where he was suggesting that the fan should go, no it seems there was an extra switch to this fan which I knew nothing about. I was also told that the fan would be quiet IT IS NOT when it is running your cannot use the back bedroom as it emits a high pitched wine which can be heard throughout the house. Although the tradesman's work is of a good quality his time keeping leaves a lot to be desired. Day one left early to get some stuff day two left early as he was moving a fridge for a friend, day three had to go back home again as he had left his garage door open and his house keys in the garage, day four had a gas safety check in his flat and needed to go early to let them in, day five finally finished, so a two day job ended up taking 5 days. Then on top of a large amount of money already paid to this company they are now asking for another £120.00. Steer clear they promise the world and deliver nothing"
