Insi Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 We are looking to have a damp course fitted and some wall treated and was wondering if anyone has had an experience of this company in the last couple of years, positive and negative please Thanks I got a quote off them for some dampproofing work and it was the cheapest of the three quotes I got. I actually thought it was TOO cheap, and went with another company in the end (this other company also seemed more knowledgeable and proactive). The proprietor from H&L was friendly enough though, although his phone kept ringing and he answered it each time, which I thought was a bit rude. Obviously I can't comment on the standards of their work, but those are my impressions of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolmob Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I`ve used them before. They did the pointing on my house, though it wasn`t during the last couple of years, more like 5 or 6 years ago. They did the job, very pleasant people, so no complaints here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would not recommend these as they surveyed my floor timbers and claimed they were infested with wood worm etc. which was a blatant misrepresentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennycakes Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I would not recommend these as they surveyed my floor timbers and claimed they were infested with wood worm etc. which was a blatant misrepresentation. i had same probs claimed i also needed all plaster off 1mtr high and new dpc put in, i had another company who said nothing wrong with the dpc the house needed better ventilation and central heating put in, but thanks thanks to h and l my mortgage broker held 8k back until we had works done and cover letters to say no need for work quoted to be carried out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orson Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 I used them a while ago - probably 8 or 9 years ago and they were not good. The damp course failed within 5 years, they did some work on the outside render of the house which fell off within 2 years, and they irritated my then neighbours into the bargain by dropping cement all over their garden and not tidying it up. Go anywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
