Great communication, professional, polite and hard working across the team. They transformed a damp, dirty cellar into a dry, modern room. Very flexible and attentive to our requirements. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Thanks guys! Read more TC Tim Cooper Verified Google review The team have done a great job for us. They were respectful contractors. Did quality work and tidy up. Very happy. Would recommend. Thanks! Read more BH Bradley Hyland Verified Google review Armand and his team were fantastic. We just moved to London and needed to redo our basement quickly, in advance of our shipment arriving. They were really quick to support us and super respectful of our house too, sweeping up regularly and helping to keep it tidy which I really appreciated because we have young kids. His whole team were really kind and great to work with. Highly recommend Armand and his team. Read more RS Renee Smith Verified Google review Armond was a pleasure to work with. During an extension build we had some existing walls that needed work. These works were carried out at the perfect time alongside our extension project and were carried out to a high standard. Communication was perfect at every stage and photos were sent showing the process of works. Thank you! Read more TB Tom Brown Verified Google review Armond and the team were great from start to finish - extremely helpful, timely, polite and tidy, and the quality of the work was very good. Would recommend them to anyone looking for a waterproofing job doing. Read more AR Adam Reed Verified Google review Highly recommend City Waterproofing. The old, damp cellar of my tenanted ground floor flat in Brixton needed tanking as an urgent and last resort to deal with rodent infestation. Armond provided a prompt and very detailed quote, and assured me that he would handle all of my additional concerns at no extra cost. His team, led by Gerti, arrived on time, completed the job in less than a week, maintained regular contact with me throughout, and left the flat spotless. Nothing was too much trouble, and the cellar is transformed.
