I'm in the process of a house purchase.
Survey recommends a damp-proof course.
Independant company (registered with Federation of Master Builders) comes in
to quote and says that 2 walls require damp-proofing.

Attached to these is a photocopied 30-year guarantee (from 1982) for a
complete damp-proof course (by another company - also registered with Fed.
Master Builders).


Hi Tony.

I'd begin by getting more cynical, and seek to verify the facts first.

Then I'd check out the article on damp at http://www.onthelevel.in-uk.com/
Then I'd read the thread "Do injection dpcs really work?" archived on Google.
Have fun.
