OUR APPROACH
Those needing the services of a specialist company involved in remedial treatment of buildings will have some difficulty in deciding which company to use. The legislation designed to protect the customer against unqualified contractors is inadequately enforced. Whether the company has surveyors or technicians which are sufficiently qualified to carry out their duties is dependant on the attitudes of individual contractors.
The remedial treatment industry has, for a number of years been perceived to contain unqualified and unscrupulous contractors with some justification. However, the core of the industry consists of a large number of professional, responsible contractors whose aim it is to give total satisfaction in all areas in which they operate. It is these contractors who endeavour to supply greater consumer protection and enforce higher standards within the industry despite a very competitive market
