JKA Damp Proofing- recommendation


Tashmed

Recommended Posts

Good morning all,


I wanted to put a recommendation up here for John Relph of JKA Damp-proofing as he has just completed some considerable work on my house.


There was significant rising damp in my kitchen around the external door, wall and window section of the house which for the life of me I could not find the source of. John was able to identify it quickly (the previous owner had raised to floor an inch or so but left a gap exposed to the elements which took in the water), provided a quick quote and was able to fit my job in relatively quickly.


As the work took place more issues of the previous owners botched jobs transpired (unsafe and rusted electrics, no lintel above the window!) but John was able to rectify these issues or got in the right tradesman in to do the job. He would always phone me to explain the issue and a let me know what the cost would be before going ahead with the work. He also worked a Saturday and a Sunday to get my work done which was incredibly useful.


I am really pleased with the work he has done and how thorough he has been with my job and his professional pride/reputation is important to him so I have no qualms in recommending him and getting him back in if required (although I hope I won?t need to!). All his work is Triton insured and guaranteed too which was an important deciding factor for me.


Happy to answer any other questions on John?s work and his contact details are:

    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!
