Hi everyone.
I've just had a damp proof membrane fitted today. I'm not a damp proof expert, but i thought there would be a bit more to it that running a roll of plastic around the walls and drilling it in to place. I know the materials aren't cheap (although they don't look like they cost the earth), but £600 for 2 hours does seem like a lot of money.
Also, is the plastic meant to meet the floor everywhere and does it matter that there's holes a splits in it? The damp proofer says not.
Here are some photos of the work, so any feedback is appreciated. I'm not trying to get out of paying the bill, i just want the job to be done right, but maybe i'm expecting too much.
Thanks in advance,
Rob
