  DO NOT TOUCH WITH A BARGEPOLE. I'm approx 18 months post-work carried out by this company and damp has returned to the same places it was present at it's worst, prior the the survey and the works. I emailed the company regarding their "guarantee" and a long back and forth short; they are not accepting any liability because "damp has not returned to the areas where work was carried out". Therefore, all the thousands I paid, to resolve damp in the property, was for nothing, because they did not do enough and the survey was insufficient. After my initial email to the info mailbox CC'ing Stuart the director and coincidentally the surveyor, Stuart replied to the internal mailbox without realising I was CC'd or that it was from me; "Hi, did the customer order all the work. From memory I stated that the whole wall would benefit but it was decided to keep work to the minimum. I'm not sure but there may be decorative coving in situ, which may be the reason work was kept at low level Thanks Mr Stuart Blackburn" I had saved the money, and approached a "real company" to get this issue resolved once and for all, to be accused of having chosen "minimal work". All whilst admitting that he thought "the whole wall would benefit" Also note that I clearly remember the install of the "PIV" unit being scheduled for a later date than the plastering works, with no communication, and commenced a tirade of rearranging as they were a no-show on the first date and the (one man) didn't have sufficient gear on arrival. This man then advised me that the survey was incorrect because it was physically impossible to install extractor fans where I'd be quoted to do so - further supporting the insufficiency of the survey I'd had, that recommended I had 1.2m of works done, when it needed to be the full wall. Absolute joke of a company - GO ELSEWHERE. I'm convinced that anyone leaving positive reviews are doing so immediately after the work has been carried out before discovering that it in fact, will not be a permanent and/or correct fix. Do not expect the guarantee to mean anything and READ the 1* reviews before you proceed with this company. Currently in touch with my solicitors.

  We contacted Allerton Damp Proofing at the beginning of January about some work we wanted doing. The workmen were clean, pleasant and efficient they came on the 25th of January and carried out the work. It took one day to complete the work and was left in a lovely clean condition and the very next day we noticed a big difference with the damp issue. Many thanks to the team at Allertons.

  I highly recommend Allerton Damp Proofing Leeds. They have just completed the damp proof course and replastering necessary to remove the rising damp in two rooms in my house. The work carried out was to a very high standard. All terms and conditions being explained prior to the start of the job and re-iterated before the actual start. All workmen were respectful of myself and my property and they completed all work as discussed. I was very impressed with the clean up after work was completed and would highly recommend to anyone wanting similar work carried out.

  Was planning to give a 5 star review after the work Allerton did for us this week but was just phoned by them to say we will be charged an extra £80 for skirting board. The skirting board was never discussed with us but was put in. It does make a better finished job but I would have liked to have discussed first. When I challenged this, they brought up some small extra jobs they did for us and at the time said they'd done for free, including replacing three plug sockets that stopped working after their work, even when I gave some of the parts for the job myself and said I could do it myself but they offered to do it. I did try to discuss this with the man on the phone but he wouldn't back down and kept saying he would add it to the invoice. He said he would be talking to his staff on Monday but I will still be £80 out of pocket. (Later edit - They did phone me first thing Monday morning and agree to remove the £80 as stated below)

  Overall a good experience, we had damp proofing put in, in our front room, hall and kitchen. during this they found that the floor in the front room was also affected by moister and needed replacing, so ended up taking over a week instead of 2 days. not really their fault, but meant for an awkward week. All the workmen that we had round where very professional and did a good job. When they re-plastered the wall, they did forget to re-attach an aerial socket and a phone socket, hence 4 stars, but overall pretty good. plastering was lovely and smooth though. It was a lot of work, so cost a bit, but it seemed a very fair price in the end. Service: Flooring

  We have previously used this company for a damp proof course throughout our ground floor 3 years ago, all been fine and not seen the problem come back. We had new windows created in March 2020 and started to notice black mould appearing around the windows and on various walls etc. I got in touch with AllDamp again to see if the issue could be resolved. They quickly came out to survey the property and noted that there was little to no ventilation and the new windows had highlighted the problem with them being more secure. We booked with them a week later and with having a 9 month old said they'd be able to get the works done within a day to minimise the impact. We chose to have 2 extractor fans installed (kitchen and bathroom) and an iPIV system in the loft coming through to the hallway, which was the recommended solution. There were a few setbacks on the day (due to the age of the house, bad wiring and thick walls) but the team sorted all issues and were finished within a day as promised. The work was finished to a good quality, some slight marks and dents around the work area but to be expected given the work being completed and can be resolved with some paint/filler. All the house kept clean and tidied at the end of the day. Having had the fans in around 4 days now and within 24h we could see improvements, no condensation on the windows, no moisture on the walls and better air quality as expected. The air obviously is cooler which means there is a balance with the heating but not found the heating having to work any harder, the hallway is just a little cooler. Overall very happy with the work, would recommend. Services: Water damage-related mold removal, Mold inspection
