Report
Paid for Damp proofing & plastering, when I bought my present property. Paid half the cost with previous owner in 2016. . Rang in January 2018 as damp patches appeared. Have rang the contractor, several times with no response. The damp company who my guarantee is with used the contractor for Damproofing & plastering; however I can't even get hold of him, when the phone rings I get voicemail then on the next ring the phone cuts off,
I have found out that the contractor is now in liquidation. If you use a service like this be careful because if your plaster works fails , it^s more than likely that
