Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from damp proofing specialists in Farnborough every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Survey enquiries going to whoever ranks first
When a homeowner spots damp, they Google it straight away. The first specialist they find with good reviews gets the survey booking — and that's worth £500-£5,000+ in work.
Competitors with worse credentials ranking above you
You've got PCA qualifications and proper insurance, but the cowboy with a better Google listing is getting the calls. Online visibility beats expertise unless people can find you.
Homeowners can't tell you from the cowboys
Without visible credentials, guarantees, and reviews online, a qualified damp proofing specialist looks the same as someone with a YouTube education and a cheap injection kit.
Not showing up on Google Maps for local searches
Someone searches "damp proofing near me" and picks from the top results. If your listing isn't optimised, they never see your name — and the job goes to a competitor.
