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:

    • There are two causes for this problem Β  The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure. Β  The second issue is electrification. Β  Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.Β  Β  That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.Β 
    • Pretentious status vehicles.Β  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.Β  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.Β 
    • I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.Β  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.Β  Dean RichardsΒ  07888 651798 Β
