How does Conifer Damp Proofing work?

It's been a busy time for us here at Conifer Damp Proofing over the last couple of months. It's a time of year that people begin to plan large projects and home improvements in order to make the most of the good weather (yes, we do get some!)

When an extension or conversion project is being undertaken, homeowners naturally want to know more about the people carrying out the work. This trust is extremely important, and our advice when planning work on your property is to ask the company you invite to quote for the work certain questions to give you peace of mind and confidence in their quality of service. Are they adequately insured? Will they use quality materials? Do they have references from previous customers? Do they offer guarantees? Are they easily contactable by telephone and e-mail and do they respond promptly and courteously?

When comparing quotes, note how they have been presented. Is it a full and complete specification of the proposal, with explanations, diagrams and full cost breakdowns? Is it specific to your requirements? Was it delivered to you within the time promised? Estimates are an excellent indication of the dedication, care and professionalism that will be put into your project. (So those scribbled numbers on the back of a chocolate wrapper should be ringing alarm bells... for a very good reason!) You should never make a decision based solely on the cheapest price. That old saying about getting what you pay for has never been more true than in the construction industry!

Conifer Damp Proofing has been built on an outstanding reputation for its standards of service, as well as quality of work. Our own expectations are very high indeed, and we treat our customers with the level of attentive service and professional competence that we would wish to receive ourselves. Our office landline is almost always manned, and if it isn't, answerphone messages are replied to straight away on our return. E-mails are checked every day and if we have said we'll call you, then we will.

Our team are smart and instantly recognisable with matching Conifer uniforms and vans, and we keep you informed during every stage of your project, whether we're simply fitting a new damp proof course or converting your basement or old barns. We take exceptional pride in our work and make sure that every detail is finished as perfectly as if it were our own home.

It's our belief that Conifer Damp Proofing is a unique company within its craft, in our approach to quality and service standards. If these values are important to you, you need a company that can answer "Yes" to every one of those questions we talked about at the start. Conifer can!
