Timberwise Avis 

strongly recommend you do not use this firm. Their work for us in restoring and preparing a roof for slating was inadequate and they knowingly covered over poor quality work. The sarking was left not attched to the rafters, uneven at the ends and incapably of carrying slates. They failed to sufficiently support the underlying roof with new rafters and we spent a very large amount of money remedying their work. Subsequently they have proved very aggressive in pursuing monies not owed and adopt a threatening and aggressive tone.

Thank you for responding to my complaint, hopefully the problem is now resolve

Engaged you to conduct a Damp review in 2022, after completing the works you recommended. I still have issues with damp.

I’ve requested a revisit and reexamination under the terms of the guarantee and insurance but had no response.

Upon further investigation it turns out that the actions of remedial injection which they recommended is an action not recommended by Property Care Association and Rics which they claim to be members of.

Initially requested free survey but advised it would cost £100. Went ahead anyway, surveyor was SI, pleasant enough guy, survey was very quick. Received the report in August, not happy with it, the only useful bit was about four lines, the rest I could have got from the internet. However as time moved on realised needed more specifics and perhaps more help. Therefore contacted Timberwise recently (mistake to contact the Manchester office - they're not big on customer service) . Fobbed me off, blah blah will call tomorrow of course they didn't The Although condensation shown as a '...slight problem..." there's an area of wall at low level where the moisture meter was literally off the scale/red/red/bleeping. Doesn't seem feasible that condensation would have penetrated so deeply. Needed help with understanding this, there are often combined causes. Also am I meant to infer that the condensation is caused by lack of ventilation?
Extremely disappointed:(

UPDATE; Timberwise offered another survey to compensate (my understanding) for the deficits within the first. Eventually arranged a date for that survey. You'd think this might have offered explanations, tentative diagnosis, useful information, helpfulness. No. In fact the second survey was a total rerun of the first one. It was quite clear what the surveyor wasn't going to do. I got the impression I should be grateful for the surveyor turning up since it was a 'free'. The report, what report?! I received an email referring me to the first report. Yes really. So don't go thinking that because Timberwise tells you how wonderful they are in their smart info pack and they can do this that and the other AND they're members of the Property Care Association. All that
means zilch. Lip service. Who knows you might get lucky, if you pay top dollar an experienced surveyor might turn up, someone whose genuinely motivated to work with you, and come up with a diagnosis. Good luck with that one.

David and Wayne have just finished a 3 day job on my property. They are a credit to the company so polite, cheery and hardworking. They both did a fantastic job with damp proofing and renewing floor joist and flooring. Would highly recommend these two employees.

Dean was very quick and efficient in removing plaster from my living room walls to enable the damp to dry out. He was friendly and polite, and left my place clean and tidy after the work was done. Thank you Dean.

Excellent service from Timberwise (Leeds) from beginning to end - treating extensive dry rot in Gr2 Listed apartment and cellar beneath, relacing timbers and ceilings/floorings and making good. Survey was clear and detailed, planning for the work to be undertaken was careful and detailed and (as absent leaseholders) we were consulted and kept informed – by email and photos – at every stage of the work. Any queries on our part were responded to promptly and helpfully – nothing was too much trouble. The work undertaken was thorough and well finished – giving us every confidence that the problem was sorted. Special thanks to Ethan, Russ and Mark for the work, to Katie for the project management and Peter for the surveys. Chris and Martin

Timberwise were excellent and very kind/efficient in resolving an issue I had. Would highly recommend.

I contacted Timberwise for a free initial survey of my home, a 400 year old cottage with a lot of timber, having found 2 live wood beetles and anticipating the news that we had an infestation.

Ashley was knowledgeable, friendly and thorough looking over the whole house. He took much time to answer all my questions and clearly explain to me (and my curious 6 year old son) the types of beetle we'd found (a death watch beetle and a furniture beetle), the pros and cons of treatment and how the treatment worked to break the beetle's life cycle.

What I appreciated hugely was his honesty that, as we'd only found 1 beetle of each type and there were no further signs of current beetle activity, TREATMENT WAS NOT NECESSARY for the time being, especially as the chemicals are strong and we have children.

Not often that you get such honesty!

I feel confident I know what, when and where to look out for signs of beetle activity next Spring and definitely will get in touch with Ashley at Timberwise if I have any questions or more beetles emerge.

Arranged for Timberwise to come to check a damp patch in house, suspected rising damp. Surveyor came on time and was extremely helpful, turns out it's not rising damp and he gave me very good advice as to where to go next. They did not charge for this visit and I would definitely use them in the future if I need to. Highly recommend.

We’ve had a problem with mould on an internal wall, and after lots of expensive advice from plumbers, builders & decorators we decided to call Timberwise.
This really pleasant well dressed guy call Tim came today, and following a free survey, told us that we didn’t have a serious problem and no water leaks.
He gave us some really good cheap ideas to solve our problem which we were so pleased about and it gave us peace of mind.
Thank you Timberwise and thank you Tim. We would throughly recommend this company to anyone experiencing damp or mould issues. Mike James

Thank you Timberwise for fixing what was a very scary dry rot problem in my house! I cried the day that Gary came and we discovered how bad the dry rot was. Timberwise were fantastic - Gary was very hands on and explained everything. And a big thank you to Mystry who was so hard working and incredible at her job. Very clean and done everything to make sure that the job was finished to a high standard. Mystry is a real asset to the team.

From start to finish this company have be open honest and fair. It started with being on time from the very first appointment. Explaining in a very clear and concise manner what would be required, what they would recommend, and at what cost ..kevin and dai came to the house have been respectful very tidy and business like .They took great care to minimise the stress around my greyhound by making sure doors and gates kept closed when possible, which makes a difficult job that bit more difficult..so thank you

Very quick, friendly and efficient response to my survey request.

Gary came and gave a thorough and honest review of our issues and, rarely in this day and age, didn't try and sell a service that wasn't required. Thanks Gary. We shall make sure all our friends who have need of a damp service will have your details, and in many ways I hope we don't need to have to call you again..;). Well done, and thanks once again.

Nick, Daffyd, Sam and the team worked on damp proofing our cellar kitchen in Bolton. Despite taking longer than estimated, they stuck to their original quote and the quality of work in a difficult space was exemplary. Always on time, and really good at communicating when they’d come, the team were always professional and courteous and were a great hit with the neighbours, despite it being noisy job. Many thanks to all at Timberwise!

We had damp proofing installed by Timberwise. The company was very efficient in arranging a surveyor & organising a date to get the work done. The technician (Carl Austin) carried out the job. He was polite, friendly & explained what the procedure entailed. He was efficient & left the site clean & tidy. I would not hesitate to recommend this company.

Timeberwise conducted a Wood Worm spray and Joist replacement within my sub-floor. From the initial Survey to the Works, the service provided was professional and of a high standard throughout. The Technicians Stu and Nick did a great job of ensuring the issues were rectified within good time. Also, Timberwise applied a military discount, showing the organisation's decency. Consequently, any service personel requiring these services should consider Timberwise as a first option to get a great service at a decent price.

Great service. External walls damp proofed and one internal wall. Skirting board was removed on internal wall and replaced perfectly. Engineer very friendly and polite - took shoes off when coming into the house.

Very disappointed with the work they've done in my house. They "fixed" the bedrooms walls that had an ugly damp. They guaranteed for 10 years 😅 but after few months they finished their work the damp is back with lots of mould
Thanks a lot "great" company
