will a decent builder be a better bet than a damp proofing firm
That depends on what work is being proposed, and what the cause of the damp is
NotThamesWater-
Seeing the survey it seems that, regardless of the damp proofing, we would still have to get a builder to check under the decking and retouch the render. So we wonder if the damp proofing is still worth it. They quoted £2000 for the whole chemical treatment, plasterwork and súper fan (£300 fan!) installation. Quite a lot of reading 📖 but I would appreciate a second opinion

Same question as @underuser53929 had a couple of weeks ago.
Anybody recommend a decent builder in South East London (South Norwood/Crystal Palace/Croydon) area? We need to sort the damp issue plaguing the garden wall.
Secondly if it’s damp problem will a decent builder be a better bet than a damp proofing firm, with the latters having given us a reasonable quote but whose full work might not solve the underlying issues or require to take a whole side of the kitchen down?
