Paul James carries out damp proofing, plastering and related work, and reviewers often describe him and his team as polite, tidy and good at cleaning up after the job. Several reviewers say they were given advice about what work was needed, with two saying Paul advised that no major work was required, and one of those says he charged nothing for the visit and did not take on the recommended job. Reviewers repeatedly mention being kept informed: one landlord far from their properties appreciated detailed photos and video updates, and another said Paul called to check on his team on days he could not attend. Work reported includes injection damp proofing, replastering, insulating rooms and a porch, fitting a fireplace, and repairs after burst pipe water damage. One reviewer says another company had quoted £30,000, while several describe quotes as competitive or reasonable.
Paul provided an excellent service, from being punctual, polite and knowledgable, to delivering an excellent finish on the work he completed for us on the damp in our dining room. Would recommend him in a heartbeat.
Can't fault anything. Really good communication, really good price and Paul and team were clean and very efficient. Paul went above and beyond, won't hesitate to reach out if I need damp resolution in future (hopefully I won't 😅)
I cannot recommend Paul and his team highly enough. Professional, tidy and courteous throughout the work. Very helpful and happy to answer your questions. Big shout out to Max who's is truly a shiny star ⭐
Excellent service, very thorough & price competitive. Called when he said he would & work completed to a very high standard. I would have no hesitation in recommending him .
Paul James Damp proofing did a fantastic job on a relatively localised part of a wall exhibiting high moisture readings. They stripped the contaminated plaster, installed an injection DPC and replaced the plaster whilst saving costs reusing original skirting board. You could honestly never tell it had been done. Paul was super easy to communicate with, straightforward and competitive. Paul and Lee were both a pleasure to have in the house polite, clean and tidy and very efficient, done in a day.
Paul came to see us after another company quoted us 30k to rectify our damp issues. I rang and asked for a damp survey. He arrived within 30 minutes. He completed a survey and offered us honest advice. Charged nothing. Did not even want a drink of tea. A real honest trades man. Worth his weight in gold. The work he did recommend he did not even take on. Paul reassured us that there was no major works needed.
Paul James appeared like a knight in shining armour when I was desperate to get some damp proofing completed and Checkatrade had let me down big time. He gave me sound advice, a more than reasonable quote and was able to complete the job the same week. His workmanship is excellent and he tidied up afterwards! I would definitely recommend him.
Fantastic plastering job, from start to finish Paul and his team were top notch. Would not hesitate to recommend. Will definitely use again,

First class job done! Nice one Paul and the team. Lovely to come back from our holiday to such a great job. Had the lounge re plastered with a couple of extra jobs. Fitted a well loved dressing table into an alcove and made a great window seat. All work in-keeping with our 1900's terraced house. Would highly recommend, straight talking with no waffle!

I cannot recommend Paul highly enough! I called him with a couple of damp issues & he was straight round to offer excellent advice & even better suggestions of rectification. If you’re in need of a damp proofing expert then Paul’s your man.
Paul has just completed a damp course job for us and we are highly delighted with the result. Along with his team they arrived on time and were very efficient and completed the job as per quoted. They also cleared up after the job and we're a pleasure to have in our home. The price quoted was also excellent. Thank you Paul and team.

I can definitely recommend Paul James, nothing is too much trouble for him. P H Landlord
Excellent work from Paul...would recommend who does a professional job at a good high standard and competitive rates
I would have no hesitation recommending Paul for damp proofing work. He provided a very reasonable quote and unlike other companies doesn’t give you the hard sell, he just recommends which areas need treating without having to do the whole house. The team were reliable and work done to a high standard, we were pleased with the work done.
Paul has carried out a couple of damp-related repairs quickly and efficiently. He has also advised on some related issues, which was very helpful.
Paul James has just completed a damp proofing job at our house in Costock. I have no hesitation in recommending him. The work is of the utmost quality, including the plastering. The finished job was excellent, turned up on time, stayed late to finish it, cleaned up afterwards, and really nice guy.
After having extensive water damage to my property from a burst pipe, I contacted Paul who assured me that everything would be ok. Paul and his team transformed the four affected rooms to such a high professional standard. I was really happy with every aspect of his work . I would highly recommend Paul .
Paul completed damp proofing and associated plastering for me in the lounge and hallway. Paul was friendly and pleasant and worked professionally, keeping the disruption and dust to a minimum and leaving a neat finish. Good quality results. Would recommend.
Excellent damp proofing treatment from Paul and his team. Faultless work and I was so impressed with his work with nice and clean at the end of the work. I felt I was so lucky to find person like Paul who helped me to complete within the time frame and he was very helpful anything I asked him for. I fully recommend Paul for the any home improvement project. Thank you Paul for your professional service🤣
Paul helped us at short notice, he came to see what we needed doing and was able to squeeze the damp proofing job in quickly. It's refreshing to find someone who is efficient and keeps to their word. He is also continuing to help us out with our predicament. Fair rates as well so all in all 2 happy customers!
Paul and his team did a fantastic job of damp proofing our house. We needed 3 rooms doing plus some extras and everything was done within 5 days including plastering. We were let down 3 times by 2 different damp companies before we called Paul and his service was excellent, on days he couldn't make it he would call to check in to make sure his guys were getting on okay. We've had a lot of work done in our house and nothing has ever run as smoothly as this. 5 stars!
Paul did some damp proofing work for us at our property. Paul's work was second to none, coming up with a creative fix for the issue we had at our house. He was a really nice guy who was easy to communicate with. He did the job with minimal fuss and left the space clean and tidy. Really good price for what was first class service. Thanks.
We’re very pleased with the work carried out to insulate room. The quote for the work was reasonable and the work was started soon after we agreed it. Paul and the team were friendly and ensured that the room was left clean and tidy at the end of each day. Highly recommended.
Fantastic, really happy with the work carried out. Great service, courteous and friendly. All the team made me feel that the work carried out was worth every penny. Thank you so much ☺️
Our first experience of Paul doing some work for us was really positive. He's pleasant and efficient to communicate with, he was very tidy and his price was reasonable. Would certainly use him again if needed.
Paul has helped me a 2 properties in Nottingham and I’ve been impressed with his work both times. As a landlord far from my properties I really appreciate Paul sending detailed photos and videos of the work that needs to be done, progress pictures and of the finished work. He’s also taken the time to investigate and inform me of other issues that he has noticed on my properties and gone back to site multiple times for extra things I have requested. He turns up on time and has great communication. Thank you for looking after me Paul!
Paul James has just completed some damp proofing work for us & we would have absolutely no qualms in reccomending him following what he has done. He was very prompt in visiting our property to assess the issue & quickly supplied a quote after discussing options. He arrived when he said he would & very quickly & efficiently carried out the work exactly as he said they would. Both Steve who carried out the prep work & Paul who replastered were very efficient in their work & clean & tidy. We are very happy with everything. Thank you
Paul James and his team did a brilliant job on our property in Sherwood. Very clean and tidy and great price. Highly recommended
Paul has worked at my house on two occasions for several days in April 2022 and October 2023. He was on time and worked very efficiently and tidily. Excellent finish to his plastering work. Nothing phases Paul and he always has first class and cost effective solutions to problems. He is also very friendly and cheerful. It was a pleasure to have him working in my home. I highly recommend Paul and would not hesitate to use his services again.
