We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have solicited John's Damp & Timber suveying services. An issue was identified in our Home Buyer's Survey and John investigated the problem for us. John's experience, professionalism and expert knowledge allowed him to identify a range of serious, hidden issues. His work is thorough and his communication is outstanding. We would whole heartily recommend.
I recently had the pleasure of working with John to assess timber and woodworm issues in my home, and I couldn’t be more impressed. John is exceptionally knowledgeable in his field — it was clear from the outset that he has many years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of timber preservation and damp issues. He was also very easy to talk to, down-to-earth, and happy to explain things in a way that made sense to me. If you're looking for someone who genuinely knows what they're doing — and who values transparency and good communication — I would highly recommend getting in touch with John. Really appreciate the help!
Very profession, insightful report
Very helpful and knowledgeable - you’ll be in safe hands
Fantastic service and advise on damp. Jon is clearly in a league of his own in his field. He knows more than one can possible know about damp causes and how to solve in the way that suits the customer. And a nice chap all round. Very very very pleased with the service, saved me tons of money.
We employed the services of John Goble on the advice of our surveyor, a member of the RICS. We found John to be courteous, professional and extremely competent. He was methodical and extremely thorough in carrying out his inspection. An expert in his field, he quickly identified the issues with our property and the underlying causes and suggested the remedial works required to address the problem at the core. Throughout the inspection he pointed out the issues and explained his findings and analysis in a very simple and concise way, which, as a layperson, I found easy to understand. His written report was extremely informative and easy to read. Even though he had accessed the sub-floor of our entire property, he left our property exactly as he’d found it, truly remarkable! I have no hesitation in recommending the services of John Goble.
A highly recommended damp and timber specialist who is Property Care Association (PCA) approved. I contacted John for an initial quote for a pre-purchase property buy report, he simplified the terminology used in his specialism so I could understand what the inspection is. The turn around time for the report is second to none, this was received less than 24 hours after completion, this report was very thorough, which is what every pre-purchasers wants Effective and fast communication throughout. 5* independent company, would recommend to anyone. Thank you John. As I have made a review 10 months ago, I cannot add another. After the house purchased, we required a further report to show the mortgage provider. We hired John again, for a further inspection and testing and a rapid report was in my email box the same day. My father-in-law who is in the building trade also spoke highly of John, with exceptional knowledge and excellent communication with his clients. May I also add that John takes client confidentially seriously. John had made some excellent recommendations to us to which we followed his advice. I truly believe his prices are extremely fair with unbeatable report turn around in comparison to chain companies. Hopefully, no more damp work needed. Highly recommend John once again.
Not understanding the government legislation, camera very bad quality for pictures without focus especially inside the brickwork , in some words in report nonsense, expensive for sure, will order someone else different. Be aware not always experience comes with quality. Used a words by third party not covered with any hard copy evidence . Same like The Sun newspaper, worth the same .
John is professional, responsive and extremely helpful. We hired him for a damp and timber survey on a property we were going to purchase and he walked us through the process and results comprehensively in a way even I understood. Can't recommend him enough!!
