>>>So where does the man in the street go for honest reliable advice? Our son has a problem with damp. He is not a practical type of chap and will need to find a reliable person to advise him of the best way forward. Having rubbished surveyors and dampproofing companies, where do we go from here? I'm no expert, plus I'm literally 1000 miles away.
Ask. I won't bite. I don't make very much at this 'game' because I refuse to bull**it people, it's that simple. The real problem I have and this is genuine, is that I will identify any number of possible causes, then attempt to whittle them down, (if the problem isn't blindingly obvious). However a large number of people then assume for some bizarre reason that 'I'm at it'. Some folk just can't compute, love to have an easy out then moan like eff when nothing works and their funds have been depleted.
It's not a science. It just takes a bit of scratching, thinking outside of the obvious sometimes and taking a measured view. I'm usually correct (if the Client can manage to provide any relevant info sought). You'd be amazed at the number that can't!
You, not your Son, can get me via the mods if you wish and we can go from there.
