Paul came out to my cottage on a number of occasions to advise me on some damp and condensation issues I was experiencing. He provided very practical and honest advice, and many of his recommendations were things I was able to address myself, which I really appreciated.

There was one particular damp issue that I wanted resolved quickly, and Paul went out of his way to rearrange his diary to come and inspect it. He then helped get the necessary work booked in promptly.

Throughout the process, Paul and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. I would have no hesitation in recommending them and would certainly give Paul and his team a five-star review.

Hi John,

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave such a kind review.

I’m really pleased we were able to help you with the damp and condensation issues at your cottage, and it’s great to hear that the advice was practical and useful. We always try to give honest recommendations, including where customers can carry out sensible steps themselves.

I’m glad we were also able to get the more urgent damp issue inspected and booked in quickly for you. Your recommendation is very much appreciated by myself and the team.

Kind regards,

Timsbury Preservation Service - excellent service and results

When Paul came to do the survey I was impressed by his extensive knowledge and how clearly he explained what was needed to resolve the damp issues at my home. The team who came to undertake the work were excellent and left everything clean and tidy. The plasterer, Dave, was especially talented and we have a lovely smooth finish to the walls now. The whole job was efficiently and quickly handled. Unusually, Timsbury Preservation Service take off the cost of the damp survey if you then proceed to use them for the work. The invoice was accurate and showed the deduction for the damp survey clearly.

All good!

All good. Paul did a thorough investigation with recommendations for things we need to arrange that are outside their scope and gave a prompt written survey on the works for them to carry out. Sam and John did a splendid job. Dave’s plastering was exceptional and all were quiet, tidy, quick and respectful of our home. Estimated cost came in as anticipated and the job was completed within the expected timeframe.

Wall tanking and re-plastering

Recently had some below ground walls tanked at our small retail property. The guys did a fantastic job in what were less than ideal conditions.
They were very clean (as clean as it's possible to be with what is basically a very dirty job), and carried out the work exactly to how I wanted it done with no issues whatsoever.
I'd have no hesitation to use them again. If you need any kind of work doing to your property, these are the guys to contact.

Prevention is better than a cure!

Having a historic problem with an old house that had beetle infestation I was very pleased that TPS were able to come in and treat the whole house. They were very tidy and cleaned through all the floors.

Remediation of Damp in Georgian Building

Timsbury Preservation Services have a great team. Good and detailed assessment of the issues with a price estimate. Respect that they were dealing with a Georgian Building repair with all of the complications. Showed flexibility with a 3rd party in terms of accelerating the timeline to complete the work and fitting in with their schedule. Very good quality workmanship, tidy and environmentally respectful, removed rubble quickly and efficiently. Team works very hard! Would work with the team again.

Poor response to disappointed customer

Firstly, this company is not located in the US.

The work was completed to an almost but not quite satisfactory standard. On contacting them to see about sorting out the issues, I was met with nothing but denial, defensiveness and an email that came over to me as pretty aggressive. All that would have been needed was for somebody to pop round, take a look and perhaps offer to skim over the plasterwork to make it good. Pity really. Didn't need to come to this.

Dear Sue

Thank you for taking your time to leave feedback for us and accept my apologies for the delay in response. Our company has only just registered on trust pilot where your feedback has become available to us.

We take great pride in providing the best possible service to all of our clients before, during and after any treatments.

I responded to your initial email at the time and offered to visit site with yourself and the subcontracted plasterer to inspect and repair any defective plaster work, you refused this offer and demanded a discount. At that stage I did not deny anything. I can only be sorry that you have construed my email to be aggressive. I have read back through emails to assure myself It was an apropriate response to which I am happy.

I can only hope that with some time passing you are now able to appreciate the great job done by everyone involved in rectifying your damp issues.

Best Regards
Paul
