Anyone used them and have any thoughts on their service? Need a damp and timber survey at the house we are buying and Prokil have been recommended.

    Well, I've just found out that their survey is free of charge which instantly makes me think they'll definitely find something, otherwise they're working for free!

    A quick click on that link and I see that they are in the business of 'eradicating damp and timber' problems.

    If that's how they make their money, I wonder what their survey will turn up.........?

    Yeah, exactly. I think I'll be finding someone who does the survey but not the remedial work.

    Struggling to believe how people trust such a business model.
