Are you looking for a damp proofing specialist who works in and around Poole? Then look no further than JH Trades.
With over 25 years in the construction trade, I provide quality workmanship with damp proofing, damp surveys, timber preservation, internal and external plastering, home improvements and renovations. JH Trades have evolved with changing technology to provide outstanding services to treat wet rot, dry rot and damp in your home or business premises.
I pride myself on my efficient, friendly and high-quality services. I take the time to visit each client, talk through their damp issues and concerns and advise on ways to reduce damp (e.g. the introduction of dehumidifiers). In the case of structural intervention I will talk through the options available. I understand clients’ reservations about having damp treatment and do my best to explain the problem and the choice of solutions without compromising on quality or service.
Damp proofing isn’t always straight forward. I will diagnose the source of the damp and provide you with a report on recommended measures to treat it.
I specialise in building work like replacing water damaged bricks and mortar joints and plastering internal exertional rendering. Extensive building trade knowledge helps find the cause of damp and provide solutions.
JH Trades services include:
- Damp Proofing & Prevention
- Damp Surveys
- Internal & External Plastering
- Lime Plastering & Rendering
- Renovations
- Small Building Projects
- Home Improvements
And much more...

Graham - Image 1 "James did some general maintenance work for us, including replacing bricks and waterproofing the property. He is punctual and hard working. We felt tired just watching. Would recommend to anyone."
Trader reply: "Thanks for the review Graham. Personally I enjoy giving buildings a new lease of life, building garden walls with coppings. Plus the damp prevention work, weather proofing. Glad you're happy with results."

Review by G Hewson
on 4th August 2025
"General exterior maintenance, thorough workmanship to a good standard."
Trader reply: "Thank you for the review Mr Hewson I believe damp prevention work is very important, simple maintenances and waterproofing will save the cost of extensive future repairs. Waterproofing bricks, clearing guttering, allowing houses to breath and having the correct airflow are just some of these pretention's. Thank you James"
