How Sean works

Straight-talking and honest

Damp is one of the most misdiagnosed problems in UK homes, and the wrong treatment is expensive. Sean's approach is simple.

  • Find the real cause first, before recommending anything
  • Explain it in plain English, with no jargon or scare tactics
  • Tell you if work isn't needed, even when that means no job
  • Keep surveys low-cost, so getting the right answer is affordable
  • Respond quickly and turn up when agreed
