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:

    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.  
    • Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!   
    • Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
