Tapco Homedry

The worst mouldy winter ever after damp proofing the cottage. Wet walls, black mould in the wardrobes, mushrooms growing on the shower box! We all coughed through the whole winter. Never have I used so much bleach in my life! I thought the cottage was damp before..

I am very pleased with the damp survey Tapco provided. Their surveyor, Peter, clearly explained the potential issues, tests he would carry out and then thoroughly tested for damp. I was highly impressed with his knowledge and expertise and thoroughly recommend Tapco.

Had an unexpected and major water leak and needed a rapid assessment of the extent of damage. Jason was extraordinarily thorough, helpful, and professional and even came out to do a follow-on check. We had an excellent experience.

I paid this company to damp proof my entire flat. It took six days and cost thousands of pounds including the work, vacating the flat, paying for a plumber to remove and put back radiators, repainting... The work was guaranteed for twenty years. Within four months the damp had come back. When I called and complained and asked them to fix the issue they said the damp had appeared since they carried out the work and they were not liable. Given the damp appeared during the hottest and driest time of the year, this is highly suspect. They said they had not noticed the 'new' damp at the time they carried out the original inspection and so were not liable. I'm really shocked and horrified that now I have to redo this wall and I'm back where I started with more bills. They should not have missed this. Now I am left with the damage.

**EDIT** I'm moving my star rating from 2 to 1 as Tapco STILL won't listen to my simple question. I wanted to know how much a Damp Proof Course (DPC) Injection would cost per meter. I don't need or care if there are "extras needed", I don't care or need if "something else" comes up. I just wanted to know roughly how much it would cost if that is the only thing I wanted done. Their answer below is proof that they're still unwilling to listen. I will not be using a contractor that doesn't even understand the simplest of questions. After all you might end up like one of their other clients that thought they were getting X but ended up getting Y. **End of EDIT** I called in to find out how much a simple damp proofing course would cost. I just needed a ball park figure for a semidetached two bedroom house for this simple procedure. Sadly they wanted to charge me about 150 just to find this information out. While I can completely understand that more complex tasks will require a thorough survey, the fact that they had absolutely no idea on how much it would cost for a simple "drill hole and inject chemicals into a building" beggars disbelief. Going forward I would highly recommend that Tapco have a simple average cost price list. This might stop people wasting their time trying to call in only to be told to pay 150 for a quote.
