Maljon (Timber Preservation) Ltd is frequently praised for knowledgeable, friendly surveyors, clear communication and helpful advice on damp, condensation, woodworm and timber-related issues. Customers value the professional service from enquiry through to completed work, with many commenting on high standards and informative surveys; however, a small number of reviews raise concerns about damage, protection and the finish of some contractor-led work.
We gave Maljon a call to come and inspect an on going damp issue, we was very impressed by Darren who came out to do the inspection, he was very polite and very knowledgeable. He told us what the cause of the issue was and how to fix the issue.
Great service thanks very much!

Excellent service - very factual and informative. From start to finish a great experience having Maljon complete our job. Thank you
Great service from start to finish from Darren. Friendly, professional, which has not been the case from other companies previously used. Communication was clear and the job was completed at a high standard. I’d happily use them again and would recommend to others. Thank you
I was extremely disappointed with the work Maljon undertook at my property. The property was let at the time and Maljon installed a thermal plasterboard in a bedroom to improve the ventilation and alleviate condensation issues reported by the tenant. There were two major issues. The finish applied was very poor and untidy, with the new plasterboard protruding beyond the window ledge. Apparently Maljon employ third party plasterers to do this work, and when the issue was highlighted to them Maljon did apologise and make a payment to me as a gesture, but the cost of the remedial work needed to rectify the issue exceeded this. Maljon and their contractors were also responsible for removing the skirting boards, which they needed to do for the plasterboard to be installed, but while they made it clear it was my responsibility to replace these afterwards, I was very disappointed to find out several months later after the tenancy had ended that they had been thrown away by Maljon's contractors, for reasons not specified. I had to pay for another contractor to source and apply new skirting boards, again at an additional cost. I have used Maljon in the past and have been satisfied with their work - and I have no reason to doubt the effectiveness of the plasterboard - so this did come as a surprise that they employ third party contractors with such low standards.
I cannot recommend a company enough! I've recently bought an old house and had the place checked by Mark of Maljon. He was prompt in arriving, knowledgable and friendly and gave me great advice afterwards. The experience could not be better. He even chose to partly refund some of the original cost due to not being there for the full amount of time he had allocated, which I didn't expect. 10/10 - wish all companies were like this!
Very helpful surveyors and office staff
Maljon came and inspected my parents property to see if there were signs of woodworm. The gentleman who came was helpful, however, it would have been good to know about the spray run off, the property had just been redecorated, and the workman who came used gaffer tape to secure the plastic sheeting to the wall. He sprayed the areas required and left. When removed it stripped parts of the paint off, and as mentioned there are marks where the liquid has ran. They were offered £40 for paint, but are both pensioners so while this gesture is appriciated, it doesn't really do much to cover the cost to repair the damage done. The pictures shown of the run off are after it's been washed.
I made an enquiry with Maljon this week re some potential damp in a low level internal wall, within an hour I had a call back from Mark Bones who went through the issue with me. Fortunately no works are required, had they been I would have no hesitation in using Maljon.
Very helpful, knowledgeable & they go the extra mile. So much so that I just wanted to thank them for their help.
Very helpful, knowledgeable and professional staff
Neil is very experienced and very helpful!
We had a condensation issue in one of the bedroom walls where it was so bad it looked like a leak and there was mould growth. Maljon were recommended on Nextdoor and despite being busy, they slotted us in. Glenn visited promptly, assessed the situation, turns out it was better than we thought. He gave us advice on how to rectify it and did not charge for the visit. His and his company’s professionalism was obvious. I now recommend this company to anyone who has damp or condensation issues and will definitely call them if the issue arises again.
Very professional
Absolutely fantastic service from the ladies that answer the phone to the person who comes round and writes the report. Have recommended this company to people I know.
