In a panic I called environ with a rat problem, and in less than an hour later they showed up and dealt with it! Amazing efficient service, extremely knowledgeable also about the rodents/pests they deal with. Never thought I’d learn so much, but it goes to show how experienced they are. 10/10 from me, will definitely be reusing!

I am thrilled to share my experience with Environ Restoration Services, and I must say, their work with graded building is exceptional. The importance and attention to detail they demonstrated during the planning and execution of the project were truly impressive. From start to finish, their team displayed a level of professionalism and expertise that surpassed my expectations. They took the time to understand the unique requirements of the graded building and ensured every aspect of the restoration was carried out meticulously. The final result was nothing short of remarkable. I am immensely satisfied with the outcome, and without a doubt, I will be using Environ Restoration Services again for any future projects. If you are seeking a team that values quality, precision, and care for graded buildings, look no further than Environ Restoration Services. They have earned my trust and highest recommendation.

Huge thanks to Environs Restoration Team for their outstanding work on restoring my London property. Even while away, they kept me updated throughout the entire project. Highly recommend them for their expertise in working on listed buildings!

I wanted to take a minute and thank you all for resolving the damp issue we had. Its so nice to come home and not see or smell the disaster that was there before. Just in time for Christmas which I would have to say you guys saved as we have family coming who had their flights already booked. A massive relief Thank you so much!! Would definitely recommend your team from initial contact to works completed. Great job.

I chose to use Environ to deal with a damp wall, the whole process from beginning to end has been straightforward, well explained and they've managed to strike a pleasing balance between friendliness and professionalism. Everyone they sent over during the course of the work, as well as their office staff has been, nice helpful and accommodating. I hope not to need to use them again but if I do, I'll do so gladly!

Came round to have a look at work required and actually realised it was all low level work. Explained and showed what was required. They can back about a week later (or thereabouts) to carry out the work which was done very quickly (about an hour if I recall). Because it took less time than was originally thought have not been charged for the materials so was very happy about that.

Damp proofing is a series of treatments used to stop moisture from passing through the walls or floors into the interior of a property.

Due to its historic architecture, Westminster properties are particularly susceptible to damp, which can damage structural integrity and decrease property value.

Signs include visible damp patches, mould growth, peeling wallpaper, and a musty smell, especially in basements and lower walls.

We utilize advanced diagnostic tools like drones and moisture meters to precisely identify and map out damp issues in your property.

The duration of treatment can vary depending on the extent of damp and the size of the property, but typically ranges from a few days to several weeks.

Absolutely. Effective damp proofing not only stops current damage but also prevents future issues, enhancing both the market value and livability of your property.
