Conservation Technology — builders in Dublin

Conservation Technology is based in Rathmines, with premises on Davitt Rd in Drimnagh, so customers can visit in person for materials and advice. Before you plan a trip or book any work, ask the company which surrounding areas it covers so you know whether your home is within reach.

The price of damp proofing depends mainly on the type of damp, which can be rising, penetrating or condensation, and on the affected area. The method matters too, since injection damp proof course work and tanking are priced differently, and replastering after the work is often a separate cost. The Damp Proofing price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, so you can compare quotes.

Ask the company which qualifications and training its staff hold for damp work, and whether it is registered for any retrofit scheme. For energy retrofit jobs, Ireland's SEAI grant rules point you to a registered One Stop Shop if one covers your area, so check that route before you start.

Ask to see a current public liability insurance certificate before any work starts, and ask whether the work carries a written guarantee. It is usual in Ireland for a damp proofing contractor to carry public liability insurance and to give a written guarantee for injection or tanking work, so you can ask what period it covers.

Conservation Technology has a Google rating of 4.6 from 26 reviews, which you can read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=9199000423483467823. Look for comments about damp type, the length of the job and how the work was explained, and ask for references from recent customers if you want more detail.

There is an SEAI grant route for retrofit work, so check your eligibility before you commit to any job. Where a registered One Stop Shop covers your home, using it can make the paperwork simpler. Ask the company whether its work would be part of a retrofit project, since that decides whether the scheme applies.

You can ask for a quote by phone, through its website, or through its Locufy page. Tell the company about the damp problem, where it shows in the building, and when the work would suit you. Sending photos of affected walls helps the quote reflect the real job.
