Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we often get asked
Will this actually solve the problem?
Yes, our work is carried out to PCA (Property Care Association) standards and based on a thorough ISSE-accredited survey of your property. Every recommendation we make is designed to tackle the root cause of the issue, not just cover the symptoms. By diagnosing the problem correctly and using proven Biokil Crown systems and materials, we ensure the work delivers a permanent, long-term solution resolving the issue once and for all.
What is your guarantee for your work?
All of our treatments and installations come with a 25-year company guarantee, giving you long-term peace of mind that the work is protected and built to last. It stands with the property once sold (great for new buyers and estate agents)
What if the work is outside my budget?
We understand that unexpected property repairs can be difficult to plan for. That’s why we offer flexible options, including staged works, finance plans, and prioritised recommendations, to help you manage costs without compromising on quality. Our team can talk you through different approaches to suit your budget while still resolving the key issues effectively.
Can we stay in the house while the work is carried out?
Yes, in most cases. We specialise in working within occupied domestic homes, and our team always aims to keep disruption to a minimum. We take care to protect your furniture, flooring, and personal space so you can remain comfortable throughout the process. Our technicians are also pet-friendly and mindful of animals in the home, ensuring all work is carried out safely and with consideration for your pets’ comfort and wellbeing.
Is the work messy?
Some stages of the work can create dust or debris, but we take every step to keep your home clean and protected. Our team uses dust sheets, extraction equipment, and full protection coverings throughout the process, and we always leave the property tidy at the end of each day. We treat every home with respect, as if it were our own.
