“Our Church property in Larkhall was affected by Rising Damp, Wet and Dry Rot. We engaged Richardson & Starling to deal with the property problem. The property was surveyed by Craig who carried out a thorough and professional survey and issued a very detailed report. The contracting was supervised by Daryn who managed the works from start to finish and kept us updated and communicated well with us. The quality of the works was carried out to a very high standard by Graeme, Willie, Davie, Billy, John, Josh and Scot who were courteous and very tidy considering the major repair works. The office staff were very helpful and easy to contact. I would recommend Richardson & Starling to anyone who finds that they have a damp, woodworm or rot problem in their property. Great Company for Property Repairs.”

“I was impressed by the helpfulness and professionalism of all the Richardson & Starling (Dundee) branch staff with whom I had contact. Having recently bought an old stone cottage, there were a number of matters needing attention: damp in a cupboard under the staircase, mild woodworm in the attic, and sash windows that were not running smoothly. These have all been rectified to my satisfaction. All who were involved - Garry Shaw (Surveyor), Steve Hornby (Contracts Manager) and technicians, Bob Emery, Mike Cook & Paul Mitchell were very pleasant and did a great job.”

“Suspected that I might have a damp patch would need (costly) attention. Delighted with the surveyors report - condensation issue which just required me to keep an eye on the situation. Very happy with the service and outcome. The valuation fee was money very well and wisely spent. Recommended!”

“We had an outbreak of dry rot in our Victorian property in Aberdeen. Thank goodness we found Richardson and Starling to fix it. The initial survey was done by a very professional Surveyor. The works to remove the plaster and affected wood started within only a few weeks. Due to the nature of dry rot the full scope only became apparent once the plaster removal started. A partial replacement of the entrance stair way steps was required which involved skilled joinery in a small space. The Richardson and Starling Team were friendly and hard working. It was nice to see the range of experience in the team and see the more experienced members providing coaching to the newer ones. Part of the works included removal of the electrical fuse box. Even though electrical work isn't done directly by the R&S team, they arranged their preferred contractor, who came quickly and did a good job. Since we didn't have any contacts of our own, we appreciated R&S arranging this. The new plastering was done by a sub-contractor, also to a very high standard. It included some Victorian cornicing, so we appreciated that they were able to re-store this to the original style. To have an outbreak of dry rot was unfortunate but being in the professional hands of R&S certainly made it much easier for us to address it. Thank you very much to Stephen, Neil, Davy, Kostas, Callum and Rachael.”

“Evan arrived promptly with a cheery smile and set to work straight away. He covered furniture left exposed, explained what he would do, and carried out the job from beginning to end with minimum fuss, finishing up by clearing away all debris from site. He inspired confidence with his workmanship and hopefully the next and final stage (plastering) will be just as professional.”

“Was very satisfied with the services of the Dundee branch and that of both technicians Bob Emery and Bobby the plasterer. The work was carried out on the dates set with the professionalism that you don't get from many companies nowadays. As stated in the work schedule carpet was protected and work site left clean and tidy. They did exactly as it says on the tin, would highly recommend.”
