We are always delighted to receive written testimonials from satisfied customers whom we have provided building services or preservation work such as damp proofing, dry rot, wet rot or similar.
Damp and mould removal
We are tenants living in a house with severe mould problems which was so bad we couldn't use some of the rooms. Because of the damp and mould spores we breathed in which you have successfully repaired, even before the plaster has dried the rooms are no longer damp and cold they feel totally different.
I'm writing to thank you for the work carried out at our house to remove the damp and mould. Your team were very professional, courteous and fast. The quality of their work was also very good. It was a real pain to prepare for them by moving everything so they could do their job before they came but well worth it as they did need space to work. That said, having done that the day before they arrived they started work straight away and finished on time with all of their different tradesmen working seamlessly and finishing the job on time.
Most people only write to complain about things but it's important to give praise where praise is due. Please thank your workmen on our behalf.

Tanking of two internal walls in Old Cottage.
Croft undertook the tanking of two internal walls in our old cottage. Despite the walls being old, uneven and hard to work with their craftsmen achieved a very impressive finish with replacement coving, plastering and skirting reinstated to a very high standard. Furthermore their staff are a credit to the company, being polite, courteous and keeping our house as clean and tidy as was possible. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

Dining room walls and sitting room walls were treated.
Croft provided a very professional, courteous and knowledgeable service. The work took 4 and a half days to finish and was completed in a timely, thorough and appropriate manner. I am very pleased with the outcome and feel that the price that I paid was very fair and realistic. The work was completed in a tidy and friendly manner. Many thanks for such a first class service.

Damp proofing and woodworm treatment
Lewis and his team went above and beyond to help us fix problems before we sold our house. Time was of the essence and we had an issue with our buyer being very specific about what they needed and Lewis and his team delivered. Very happy with their service. Thank you Croft!

To prevent water ingress
Croft Preservation is owned and managed by Lewis and Barry Trickett. Although I live outside the designated area that they work in, Lewis came to inspect the water damage and immediately found a solution. Previously, I had employed 2 local firms who attempted, but failed to solve the problem. Croft's employees were industrious and polite. The works were competitively priced, and I would not hesitate to recommend Croft Preservation.
Customer in GU32
Damp proofing for rising damp
The contractors were polite and efficient and left their work areas clean and tidy every night when we came home. From quote through to the works being finished the team were on hand and calling us to update us on the progress that was happening. We had 3 local damp proof specialists out to quote for the works to be done and Croft were by far the most professional and their quote was competitive. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

Customer in BH6
Contacted Croft to book an appointment, the team were very friendly and the customer service was excellent. They came out to see me and gave me full confidence in what we discussed and the report they gave me. Work booked in and carried out, the operatives were polite and very clean and tidy in my property. The Croft team made what could have been a stressful experience very manageable. Can’t speak highly enough.

Worked with Croft for a few years now and they have always provided good prices and quality work.

Just like to say how pleased I am with the way the job was handled from start to finish.
I would especially like to thank the 2 tradesmen that worked on the house - couldn’t have done better.
Thanks again,
Richard
Thank you very much for sending such a fab plsterer to repair my chimney this Monday and Tuesday.
The chaps who came were polite and on time, and the man who came first of all was neat and methodical.
The plasterer worked so swiftly, the finsh, although still drying, feels like glass - it's amazing!
I have been singing your praises, for honouring my guarantee and repair the damp in my chimney again.
I would recommend you to everyone.
Thank you very much.
Lorraine

Barry came soon after I emailed and was very skilled and good at explaining to me and the ladies in the other two flats about the damp/condensation problems.
I really valued his visit and look forward to his report with interest. He was a pleasure to have advising us in this block of flats.
Thank you for arranging this,
Kay
Hi,
I just want to say that the work carried out today by Tony on the damp problem in the main bedroom of my flat was excellent. I can't praise him enough, also my thanks to the backup Richard when he arrived, they were a good team.
The standard of work was above par, there is not a mark on my wallpaper, and when 'Henry' was used at the end to clear the dust for me, it was the icing on the cake!
I shall recommend Croft without hesitation to anyone, and as one of the directors of our management company, will suggest contacting you, should we have a problem.
My sincere thanks,
Shirley D

Dear Dan,
We'd like to say that we're really pleased with everything that's been done at 44. The men have been willing, friendly, but respectful too.
A few are like family and I shall miss the fun and the banter that we've had. The wall is much admired and is the jewel in the crown.
We wish you all the best,
Jane & Michael
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your prompt service and the open manner of your advice regarding our damp problem.
Alex and Jason carried out the job in a friendly, efficient manner and most importantly left the site cleaner than they found it! Thanks to the both of them and indeed to you all.

Les and Rosemary Dear
Dear Croft Team,
Thank you for the work you have done on the above property. I am delighted to have it done at last. Please convey my thanks to Tony and Russel. I am sorry they had to leave sooner than I expected on the Friday to thank them in person.
Thank you Dan for your part in the proceedings, both before and after the work. I appreciate the fuller summery of the work done.
I look forward to receiving the 20 Year Guarantee which hopefully will also outline the work undertaken and completed by Croft Preservation.
Your sincerely
Jane A Caley
Dear Barry
May I also take this opportunity to thank Croft for the prompt service provided from the outset by carrying out the initial survey/assessment, producing the report and completing the subsequent work in a timely manner. In particular, please pass on my thanks to Lydia and Alison who were always punctual in responding to our telephone calls and emails and to Alec and Jason for their hard work in carrying out to the job to our complete satisfaction.
I would not hesitate to recommend Croft to family and friends in the future.
Yours sincerely
To whom it may concern,
We recommend Dan Trickett and Croft’s for the efficient way in which they have extended, refurbished and decorated our bungalow. They have worked with exceeding courtesy, good humour and professionalism.
We have had extensive alternations and refurbishment to the property, including lighting, electricity and plumbing and we have been very pleased with the consistently high quality of workmanship provided by Dan and his employees throughout the build.
We have found Dan and all the Croft employees to be very dedicated, they have met tight deadlines and completed the work to a high standard. They can be thoroughly trusted and relied upon.
They have also been prepared to modify the build as needed. They have had a difficult time, fitting in with the delays caused by another company who are fitting the kitchen, because of their on-going contracts, but have nevertheless done their utmost to accommodate us.
We have reservations in recommending them and will certainly be prepared to consider them for further work for ourselves should the need arise.
Alan S.
Dear Sir,
I am grateful you were able to carry out the work at such short notice. Dan Trickett did an excellent job and solved a problem that could have prevailed me from buying property. It’s nice to know there are still people who can turn up on time and do a decent job.
Yours faithfully,
Ann Long
Dear Sirs,

Hi,
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank all of you at Croft for the work carried out. We are very happy with the finished product and will happily recommend your company to anyone who asks. Please pass on our thanks to all of your sub-contractors who have helped on the project.

May I say what a pleasure it was to have had your company do the work us.
I was most impressed by the speed, the state they left the house in and the extremely nice gentlemen who certified out the work. I have already recommended you to a friend – who has already been in touch with you. Thank you so much for all the work you have done.
Yours Jane
A huge thank you again for a professional job by a great team. Here’s to a damp-free Winter at my new property.
Many thanks,

Dear Sir,
I would like to say how pleased we are the finished job, I must admit that when I visited the house and saw the initial work and the mess involved, I had a few concerns but the end result is finished to a high standard and the house was left very tidy.
We look forward to recovering the Guarantee so this can be passed to our purchaser's Solicitors.
Thank you.
Thank you for the time yesterday.
I’d just like feedback that your surveyor was very courteous, friendly and explained everything really well giving an air of expertise that was refreshing when compared to the other companies we have had round to assess the damp.
