Consumer feedback

Generated from the text of this trader's consumer reviews

AC Damp Proofing & Building Services (often led by Matt, along with Gary and other team members) comes highly recommended for damp-proofing and larger basement transformations. Reviewers describe tanking and converting problem spaces into bright, usable rooms—one basement conversion from 2020 was still “going strong!” five years later. Customers also praise Matt’s calm, clear diagnosis on fast call-outs, including a same-day visit where he measured wall temperatures and identified a roof leak after heavy rain.

What Customers Say

  • Damp-proofing that lasts: Homeowners report lasting results after tanking and damp-proofing, including work that turned “a dark and dingy space” into a bright living area and “still going strong!” years later.
  • Professional communication and co-ordination: Several reviews highlight how Matt coordinated trades for full refits, with “Professional service from initial visit through to completion” and clear, prompt communication.
  • Prompt, honest advice and tidy workmanship: Customers commend fast responses—sometimes even without charge for a call-out—and teams known for being “polite and professional throughout” and leaving properties “clean and tidy,” including when converting basements into offices and home workspaces.

    "I used Matt and his team for some damp work in my dining room and for damp work and a complete refit of my utility room. Professional service from initial visit through to completion and I would highly recommend Matt and his team. I especially appreciated how Matt helped to co-ordinate all trades for the refit of my utility, including roofer and design services. I’m really pleased with the final result. Thanks again Matt and Matt."

    "Called Matt about a damp patch that appeared recently. He popped in on the way home, the same day, measured the wall temp in different areas and gave a quick and confident diagnosis that there is a leak in the roof that recent heavy rain has got through. Now I can get that fixed. Very impressed with the fast professional response and he didn't charge me for the service either! A rare gem these days."
