See all testimonials
"Very pleased with everything that has been done by this Able Insulation and Damp Proofing. From the initial survey we were advised of various options and felt at ease in making a decision. The men who did the work, Lawrence and Andy, were model tradesman. They did a great job, showed us pictures of the completed areas we could not see and left our home tidy. We have no hesitation in recommending this company."

"I was very pleased with the work the company did. They were a delight to have in the house and kept me informed about the process as it happened (I was very nervous about having this work done) I needn't have been. Would not hesitate to recommend their services."

Damp Proofing - Southampton
"I was very impressed with the surveyor George who was very knowledgeable. He seemed to know exactly where the damp was coming from. I had had other quotes but was only impressed with Able who made me feel confident they would resolve the problem. The work was carried out by Ross who was friendly and polite and carried out the work very professionally and tidied up really well. Would definitely recommend"
