We had Watertight do some damp work and replace our brickties.I would highly recommend them for both, especially brickties as they gave a much better quote compared to others. Matt and his team were great at communicating, very friendly and professional. Watertight will be our go to guys for an future damp work we need.
Thanks Matthew and the lads for the work you did on our wet wall. All sound now. Also appreciate your professional advice on other dpc matters.
Water getting into my home caused a major panic. Matt knew right away the cause of the problem and his team came along and provided the necessary materials and skills to put the matter right. It’s rained heavily since and I can say everything is now ‘watertight’. What a relief!
Quotes were gathered in from various Damp companies and on the basis of cost and availability, Watertight won hands down. Not only this, but Mathew is exceptional too as are the two who showed up first thing this morning, did a great job, left it spotless before giving me a tour of their excellent work.

Not only this, but Mathew is exceptional too as are the two who showed up first thing this morning, did a great job, left it spotless before giving me a tour of their excellent work. There is more work to be done on the first floor and I wouldn’t hesitate to have Watertight back in to do this. Thank you Mathew and your team. Less
What a great company Mathew was very professional gave us a good price and we were fitted in in no time at all.the person sent out to do the job too was very professional would use again
Matthew was really easy to get hold of and answered all my questions in a quick and professional manner. The lads who did the work were also helpful and tidied up after themselves. Would recommend.
I can totally recommend Watertight. Very professional service, and good quality. The guys were on time and did a super job! Thank you all!
I can highly reccomend watertight homes they came on time, and cleared up after the work they did. The gentleman that did the work was very good and helpful. Thank you. Mrs Fox.
Brilliant workmanship, very pleased with the quality, fair price can't fault it. Thank you to Matthew and Stuart.
Watertight homes have just done some damp proof work for me and spraying a beetle infestation. They were communicative throughout. Really friendly and also made me aware of a few other things that needed to be done. Really professional!
Absolutely excellent. Responded very quickly when I made the call and gave me an appointment fast. Came in, looked at the issue and suggested the way to go forward. Very Professional and Very Friendly. Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Highly recommend Watertight Homes. Outstanding from beginning to end.
What a great company I will definitely use them again
Mathew came highly recommended to me, and he did not disappoint. Booked me in quite short notice and was a really honest guy. Didn't try to oversell, just offered really sound advice

On the quote side they took the time to explain all the work that needed doing and why and gave me an immediate price which was great as you often need to wait for that info. Work wise - they managed to squeeze me in (being a smallish job) very quickly which was really appreciated after the bad luck of the damp only showing up following the room in question being re plastered! Matthew ensured all the work was done to a high standard and was finished in good time. Great job guys, happy to recommend you and if I have any problems in the future you'll be my first port of call! Less

We found this company to be knowledgeable, polite and professional. The finished product looked good, and they cleaned the area up after completion. We'd definitely recommend.
We used Watertight homes to renovate our cellar. They did an excellent job , very professional and friendly to deal with. I would recommend them to anyone.
Work carried out by Watertight Homes was carried out effectively and professionally. Would recommend this company.
Very happy with the advice from Matthew and the woodworm and damp proofing treatments delivered by his team. A professional company, polite, tidy, respectful and a fair price. No hesitation in recommending the company.
I contacted watertight homes for a quote for dam proofing on my property, they responded very quickly with a very reasonable quote. The guys who came was very polite and respectful. The quality of work I received was second to none. Would definitely recommend this company. Thanks to Matthew who kept me up to date with everything start to finish.

Fantastic company, highly recommend & extremely professional service. Very polite & trustworthy. Great service and value. Must say they are The Genuine Thing! Fab!
Had several quotes, these guys were the best price. Very professional, quickly came out and diagnosed issue. Booked in for work and they called before to confirm, arrived on time and have done a tidy job. Stuart who did the work couldn't be more helpful, was quick and efficient. Highly recommend.
So glad I was recommended to Watertight Homes after being let down by other companies. Very nice lads, very efficient work no mess left Value for money. I will be definatly go back to Watertight Homes for any work I need doing in the future. A big thank you
Mathew and the team at Watertight Homes are responsive, reliable, efficient and always complete work to a high standard. I would definitely recommend them!
Matthew Milner you responded quicker with this review than you did with my phone calls so that’s says a lot about you and your company.

Matthew Milner you responded quicker with this review than you did with my phone calls so that’s says a lot about you and your company. It’s very difficult to have a reasonable conversation with someone that clearly does not make any sense nor were you willing to help at any point, so don’t try saying you were. I can post the email where you state you had the guarantee but didn’t have time to get it out. You state it’s hard to remember jobs from years ago well you remember me very well and as I stated the paper form guarantee was not asked for 2yrs prior to the installation. Customer service is a appalling so please please anyone reading this go elsewhere, do your research before giving it to Watertight Homes. I rest my case. I reached out to Wateritght in 2015 to complete a damp proofing course at my home. I was charged £4200, which included the optional guarantee of which I paid for. I became concerned with the quality of work, when only 2 years later I rediscovered damp. I called them to explain the apparent problems and they came out to rectified free of charge (under guarantee!!!)no questions asked. In 2022, I decided to put my house on the market, I accepted a buyers offer on my house and a structural/damp proof survey was done on the property, once again rising damp was discovered throughout the whole of the downstairs living areas not by 1 but 3 different structural building and timber certified companies at cost to myself I called Watertight and explained my circumstances and I was told I had to produce the guarantee certificate paper form before they would visit this was not needed on the first repair. I am 100% certain it was never sent, I didn't think it would be a significant issue as he never asked for it the first time to rectify the issue, I knew Matthew was familar with me and I still had the invoice showing the inclusion of a guarantee, I also had a bank statement showing the invoice was paid including the extra guarantee amount. I sent the two items across to Watertight and received a response which restated their refusal to visit without proof of a guarantee certificate. I rang Matthew and exprerssed my dissapointment with the response, he kept reitaerting how he WAS aware I paid for the guarantee but could not visit until I produced the guarantee certificate first. I couldn't understand his thinking, the certificate seems so insignifcant when I am able to produce the invioice showing the inclusion of a guarantee as well as proof of payment of that invoice. I made it clear that I don't think he actually ever sent the guarantee, but he maintained that he had, honestly I'm 100% sure he never did. Regardless Matthew Milner of Watertight Homes is not the best at his job, nor is he the best in customer service. Due to Matthews lack of help and assistance to resolve the matter I had to significantly reduce the price of my property for the sale to go ahead. So my advice would be not to go with Watertight Homes under any circumstances Watertight have caused nothing but headaches, stay well clear. Less
Great company run by Mathew. Quality cellar tanking job carried out by Stuart, Josh and Toby doing the joinery ,they are friendly ,knowledgeable and I definitely recommend them.
Absolute shambles of a company. Mathew has a superiority complex that his company does not live upto. Numerous visits and almost £3000 later I still have damp issues. Finally resolved by another company who found the issue to be a leaking drain as the cause. Avoid
Watertight were quick to respond to my request, arrived on time, fast n friendly. Even though it turns out I probably don't need their services at this time, they advised me what I needed to do to get my house watertight, and in what order which was super helpful. Many thanks.
Mathew came round to give me a quote for damp proofing my living room and kitchen - he took the time to explain what needed to be done and the quote was much more reasonable than the others I had been given. They even came the next day to do the damp proofing - great service and would highly recommend.
Watertight Homes were a pleasure to work with - friendly, well priced and professional.
Very good experience all round with Watertight. They took the time to assess the damp throughout our home to determine what was required to treat and prevent it.

Matthew was responsive to our questions throughout and we were very grateful that he eventually managed to fit us in sooner than he had initially said. We had two employees come round to undertake the work, we found them very pleasant to have around and respectful of our home. They also made every effort to clean up after themselves as it can be a messy job. Matthew also came to check in part way through the job to ensure everything was running smoothly. Overall very happy with the work and feel it was a fair price, would recommend. Less

Mathew and the team did a great job at getting some condensation issues sorted in our property- they were efficient, fast, great value and really friendly. They also did a great job clearing up the mess after they had finished and took great care with our property. Thank you!

I have used watertight homes a couple of times now, as I find the quality of work excellent, the team are reliable/punctual and competitive pricing, which is a rare set of commodities in this day and age. What really impresses me however is the aftersales, which for me when spending large amounts of money is incredibly reassuring, and again in todays day and age a rarity. Mathew has always been contactable and responsive, I had a very small issue and he was at my house within a couple of hours to resolve the problem, which when you have several other things to contend with was a complete weight off my mind, and is something that puts watertight homes far and above the rest. I would highly recommend this company for the work and for Mathews professionalism & reliability, if I could give more than a 5 star I would Less
Very happy with the damp proofing service. Very helpful and polite. Highly recommended
Had a sump pump recently installed in the cellar. The whole team, from start to finish were fantastic, no pushy sales, just honest advice and top quality work. Thanks to everyone at Watertight, job most definitely well done.
Excellent job by the lads at Watertight. Really professional and polite and kept me informed throughout the job. Rectified a small issue after the job straightaway. Would recommend to anyone who needs damp proofing work on their house.
Good price. Arrived ahead of time. Very professional. Good communication. Would employ again.
I contacted Mathew as I needed a timber and damp report for a property we were purchasing. He was very quick to reply and he was able to go out to the property the next day. I received the report the same day which was very thorough and showed all the recommendations. It was such a relief to have someone check on this so quickly and to be able to have all our questions answered. Thank you!

Complete chancer. Came around to do a dry rot survey. I showed him the source of the dry rot, wasn’t even going to look inside the house, said clean the area and wait 3 months then attempted to charge me £120 cash. Been there less than 5 mins. Don’t waste your time.

These guys were very thorough in their investigation of the issues and produced an excellent clear report explaining what needed to be done any more importantly why. They also priced each individual recommendation separately which was very helpful. When the work was undertaken, they again were very professional, did an excellent job and cleaned up very well. Highly recommended.
HIghly recommend, used for years. Good price and great work.
Really professional but also friendly, and completed all the work promptly which was a really important factor for us.
Falsely claiming to be a Which? trusted trader. Contacted Which? and this was confirmed directly by them (see screenshot attached). Which? confirmed that Watertight are even using a fake certificate on their website. Avoid.

I would defiantly use Watertight homes for anymore work that needs doing in my home as I know the quality of the work that they provide. I would definitely highly recommend Watertight homes to any family or friends and anyone else that needs any work doing, there service was fabulous. Our home is now Watertight!!!! Less
Had a condensation unit fitted a week ago and already seems like it's helping.great local company.all the guys who came to do the work were friendly,worked very tidy and did a great job.will recommend watertight homes to anyone.
Just had a full basement renovation done. Finished to a high standard. Very accommodating workmen. Really happy with the final outcome. Thanks so much.
Provided a thorough quote explaining exactly what would need to be done and why and came up with the most realistic and affordable solutions to some damp round a fireplace that kept coming back and a bathroom that was susceptible to damp. Answered all my questions and did a great job. Great customer service, would definitely recommend.
I have worked with Watertight for over 15 years now. Both on my own home and recommending them to friends and clients. The work is always of the highest quality, quotes are reasonable plus everyone is really lovely and friendly. A great choice for all your damp and timber work.

His team were very punctual, polite and incredibly tidy (moping the floors, and washing down the drive after completing the job).I wasnt entirely satisfied however with part of the plasterwork on a door arch (but could understand why) however when I rang Matthew about this he came within 30 minutes to inspect the job. He wanted me to be entirely happy and sent his team back within 2 days to replaster the whole arch at no extra cost. A fantastic after service, which is very rare nowadays, so I would highly recommend Watertight Homes. Less

Watertight homes have a good reputation and so all their workmen seem to be aware of this and so make a special effort to help keep everything tidy and clean down at the end of each day. Yes, it's a messy job but they all seem to do their best to make it as hassle free as possible. They are just genuine guys building a reputable business and, from my experience, deserve every leg up they can get. Can not fault highly recommend Mr H Morley, Leeds Less
Very professional and helpful from start to finish and the damp proofing work was completed to a high standard. Watertight went over and above expectations by identifying an issue with woodworm and replacing some skirting boards without additional charge. Very happy to recommend.
Rang the company today to see if they could call around to price up a damp issue. I was told that they are very busy and could not call around! I wouldn't of minded if they said we can cost up the work but couldn't do the work for a few months but to not even be bothered to call out to my house which is in Leeds is very disappointing.
We have used Watertight homes on 3 separate occasions to deal with different problems. The level of service we have received was absolutely first class. As a company we have found them to be honest, reliable, competitive, helpful, efficient and friendly. We wish there were more companies around that it is a pleasure to do business with.

First class service from survey to completion . Watertight offer swift ,efficient service the work they did inside my home was excellent , there was little mess they had cleared everything including hosing down the patio . Thank you Mathew and all the team at Watertight.

Brought current house in April 2016 - new it had some damp in the cellar but not until we moved in did we discover how bad it was. Matthew (proprietor) came round and undertook a survey and talked through our options. What I liked best was that he immediately recognised that what we wanted was a dry space for "rough storage" (i.e. not living space) so offered a service based on that rather than pushing a full drainage and pump solution. What we got was an waterproof eggbox on the walls allowing water to trickle to the floor then spread out over the floor to evaporate. In addition the ventilation has been increased. I cannot rate the guys who did the work high enough - in particular the way they cleared up after. Work was done mid July 2016 and appears to be working very well at current time. Less
100% satisfied with all work done and all the workers Very professional job done and guys who did the work are a credit to the company Will highly recommend to anyone
We are really happy with the work that Matt and his team from Watertight Homes did for us. Right from the initial meeting with Matt himself through to the clean and tidy work done by Jack and his colleague we knew that we were being looked after by professionals. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone
