I'm having ongoing difficulties with an insurance company after their contractors dug up a concrete floor to replace a water pipe, breaching a previously intact damp proof membrane while doing so. However, they didn't reinstate an intact DPM before re-concreting the surface, and damp started to come up along the concrete join in the floor and around the edges. The insurer declined to carry out appropriate remedial work to put the problem right and insisted their work was adequate. I commissioned Durie Heritage, as they are familiar with older properties, to independently examine the situation and write a report explaining why damp was appearing and what needed to be done to rectify it. The report was concise and clear, and I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.
