Can’t recommend this company enough. We had some extensive dry rot rectified and the professionalism from day 1 of the survey to completion was great. Customer service is 10/10 - Karen is amazing and easy to get hold of, sends regular updates and you are never left wondering or chasing anything up (she deserves a medal honestly) Exactly the reassurance you want from a company who are doing such extensive work on what is likely your biggest asset. They even squeezed us in over a weekend which was very kind of them as I’m sure they would have rather been at their own homes! My house was left ready to decorate, they cleaned up after themselves and removed all rubbish promptly. The whole front of the house over 3 floors was done in 4 days.

All rot was removed including replacing a supporting beam at amazing speed and a membrane placed between the walls and plasterboard. The tradesmen were very polite and a pleasure to have in our home.

I hopefully will never have to use a damp service again but if I do, they will be my first call. Thanks again all 🙂

The service was outstanding. The surveyor who visited my property really cared about helping. He was clearly an expert in the field. I would always recommend Matheson moving forward.

Excellent service. Treated a damp wall in a bedroom, removed sections of wall, treated and replastered with a barrier fitted. A few issues arose during the work but the firm was extremely helpful in addressing them. Would recommend this company.

Chris was great. Came out to the property and conducted a thorough survey, investigating all concerns. Was honest and up front, letting us know that there were no issues despite our worries. This was refreshing, it would have been easy for him to sell us on work which we simply didn’t need. Appreciate the time, care and attention. Thank you for giving our property a clean bill of health and putting our minds at ease

My Mother recently asked the company for a damp survey. We chatted with Karen who organised the booking. Karen was extremely helpful and knowledgeable and very reassuring on the phone.
Alistair came to the flat to complete the survey. He answered many questions that we had and checked all of the rooms for damp. We were given good advice re ventilation throughout the flat. Alistair was very friendly and it was obvious that he cares about the service that his company provides.
We would highly recommend this company to anyone who wants a professional and honest team.
Thank you Alistair and Karen.

my damp problem was dealt with quickly and the boys tidied up behind them well. The new plaster took at least the three weeks that I was told, to dry but it was that very wet spell in December. Happy with the job.

We were very pleased with the damp survey that Matheson did for us.

It was very thorough and the person doing it clearly knew what he was talking about.

He wasn’t just a surveyor, he also had lots of practical experience and was very helpful in providing useful information which helped us decide whether to buy the property we were considering.

This company was recommended by a family member who is in the building trade. We first met Alistair, who is the owner, who came out to complete a survey and answered all our questions. Once we had agreed upon a price and a date for the work to commence, he and his team answered any further queries we had before any work began. The 2 young men who worked at our property were fabulous. Andrew and Callum arrived timeously, were very respectful, kept us up to date with what was happening and didn't slack for a moment. They had everything they needed in their van, they wouldn't even stop for a can of juice or a cup of tea. They even listened to their music via headphones so as not to disturb us. They both worked their butts off. We also met Alistair's son Chris, again a lovely young man, very personable, who also kept us up to date with what was going on. Once the job was finished, we had noticed some things we were concerned about, purely because we know nothing about this kind of stuff. Alistair came out to our property and reassured us that all was well. He will also visit in a few months to ensure everything is as it should be. That is incredible customer service. We would not hesitate to recommend to others, brilliant service.

After being worried about two areas of dampness in our home, we initially received a quote for a few £1,000 from another trader as they claimed they would need to knock down and rebuild a wall. However, upon contacting Matheson Damp Services over the phone, Karen made me feel very at ease, she firstly queried if we had tried the typical remedies of mould etc (rather than instantly trying to get a sale, so to speak), and then explained the whole process of what would happen with the survey and was happy to answer all my questions and offer lots of general advice.

The survey completed by Calum, who was polite, efficient and very knowledgeable. In the end, the issues turned out not to be as serious as first feared from the initial quote of the first trader, which was a relief. Although the work required could not be carried out by Mathesons Damp Services themselves, Calum offered some great advice and assured us he would get us some further information forwarded to us.

Within an hour or so, Karen, had already forwarded this information, along with some links to helpful products and some possible recommendations for other traders to carry out the work.

All in all, cannot fault any aspect of the whole process. Mathesons Damp Services are definitely an honest, caring and professional company which I cannot recommend highly enough.
