I was absolutely blown away by the service! Last year I bought an 1830s terrace typical of the area, with a lot of damp trouble. My neighbour recommended Shield but it was lockdown and coming into winter, so they were understandably booked up a long way ahead. I then got 3 other companies to come and look at the work – one of which claimed to be a top expert and was quoting huge amounts. None of these people truly understood the nature of the building though, and couldn't explain some of the weird things happening.
Once I got an appointment for Steve to come round I knew right away he understood

We were faced with dry rot at our property, which was quite devastating after only owning the house for a few months and having a baby on the way. After having a couple of quotes, Shield came recommended by a friend and not only came out at the cheapest price, (£5,000 difference from another company!) but Steve was very thorough and reassuring with assessment of the work needed to be carried out. When carrying out the work Steve and Daniel went above and beyond, were clean and tidy throughout and have done an absolutely amazing job. Elaine in the office was always polite and welcoming on the phone

Highly recommend Shield. I had an issue with my "man cave" and they gave me expert advice and a very good price. Also, they turned up on the exact time and date that was scheduled. Left the area clean and tidy and the workmanship is of a very high quality with a 10 year guarantee. I know some very good builders and I'm sure they could have done the job but were unable to offer me a similar guarantee. You can trust Shield.

I recently found rising damp in my house and these guys came highly recommended for a friendly, local, professional family business. They were and absolute pleasure to deal with through and through and if I have any more damp issues they will be the first people I call. Highly recommended

We approached Shield in something of a panic, as we had not expected to have to damp-proof as part of a kitchen refurbishment. They were the perfect team, though, and worked with our other contractors to produce a plan. Meanwhile, with their calm, can-do approach, they really helped us through the disruption. The work was finished earlier than anticipated,to a high standard. I cannot praise them enough.
