Condensation in the North East is a major problem affecting many homes throughout Newcastle, Gateshead, Durham & Sunderland, and is very common in houses which lack sufficient ventilation.
The problem, if left untreated without effective condensation control, can lead to black mould forming on walls and ceilings, which in turn can damage wallpaper and painted surfaces, as well as furniture and clothing etc. Spores produced by black mould and the moist conditions can also increase the risk of illness such as asthma and bronchitis.

Dry Rot or Wet Rot can best be described as fungal decay to building timbers and is by far the most common, and the most serious cause of damage to building timbers. Contrary to popular belief, Dry Rot and Wet Rot are not limited to old buildings; they can affect all timber, both new and old. Dampness, along with a lack of ventilation, provides the perfect conditions for fungal attack on timber to take place.

Rang just to get a quote, everywhere else I'd enquired had told me a quote of upwards of £100. The fella on phone at trust guard first enquired exactly as to what the issue was (what I was seeing etc) and then explained very kindly what the exact problem was, that I didn't need a damp specialist and pointed me in direction of who I did need and saved me a lot of money as a result!
Very genuine & very knowledgeable staff. If I ever do have an issue with damp again, these will be the first people I will call.

I contacted TrustGuard after being let down by two other cavity wall tie specialists and I’d wished I had known about this company sooner. Don was professional, knowledgable and extremely accommodating as I needed an appointment at short notice. The service from TrustGuard was outstanding and very competitive in terms of the cost of the remedial work. I would 100% recommended this company.

From start to finish Don was very professional, giving us good product info about the PIV unit. He himself installed the unit and a couple of days later the electrician wired it all in. Within days we noticed no condensation on our windows even with the cold snap we've had. Expecting the same results in our loft. Excellent service , would highly recommend.

I would recommend this company to anyone. Don came to see the job I needed doing (an area of rising damp) and explained everything to me. I got a quote the same day and agreed to the price. Due to a cancellation the work has been completed in one day within the week and to a very high standard. John who did the work was friendly and courteous and just got on with the job. I am really happy with the finished result. The plastering finish is excellent. The hallway was left in a very clean condition. A job very well done.

Don did a wall tie inspection on a house I'm currently buying. The surveyor had flagged a possible issue with the wall ties so I needed a specialist to check them out. Don's time and expertise cost me £100 but it was money very well spent. Free wall tie surveys are a false economy as the people doing them are probably just trying to drum up business by doing unnecessary replacements.
Don is clearly an honest guy. I'd recommend him to anyone.
