DAVID REYNOLDS – CSSW CSRT
Surveyor, Consultant and Principal Director
MY ROLE
Day-to-day, my fieldwork involves surveying and on-site advisory / consultancy work, plus the essential visits to the various sites and buildings that I may be involved with at any time. My office-based work involves all report writing and compiling specifications and drawings for remedial works and basement waterproofing design.
I’m very fortunate to have an excellent and very efficient AAT qualified Accounts Manager, who attends to all financial matters as well as processsing the various guarantees and warranties that we provide, and who has the additional benefit of a background including HR / Personnel management.
SHARING OVER 35 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEDGE
Professional accurate and impartial diagnosis is fundamental in establishing the correct remedy and avoiding unnecessary costs.
Local Knowledge
Construction methods and materials vary considerably throughout the UK, and I have over 35 years experience in surveying, treating and preserving our older Cornish housing stock
It’s what I do!

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
“we can hardly believe our old, damp cellar is now a wonderfully dry, cosy games room for the kids”
“David was so helpful, offering the advice, technical support and products for me to undertake the work using my own builders!”
“David is refreshingly free of any tendency to over-specify or to recommend work which is unnecessary”
“We had been confused by conflicting advice about our damp issue previously, but David really understood what we wanted and what our old house needed”.
“we were very pleased with the service, from start to finish”.
“We always contract David Reynolds for all our basement waterproofing jobs. He’ll always design a simple and effective system and we like the insured long-term guarantee”.
Lead Time and availability
Please note:
Generally we do receive many more enquiries than it's possible to service and demand is exceptionally high presently. We therefore need to prioritise our limited survey appointments accordingly, although we will endeavour to reply to all email enquiries.
Should your enquiry be allocated a survey or inspection, current lead-time for surveys and inspections is approximately 3-6 weeks depending on urgency and location.
In some cases we can provide advice or estimates based on sufficient photographs or drawings etc, which can be emailed to us directly for a desktop inspection.
We are still providing our popular desktop waterproofing design service.
CORONAVIRUS - COVID.19.
With the Coronavirus risk still present and on-going, surveys and site inspections will be considered ONLY when considered to be sufficiently urgent, and strict criteria may apply. Please let us know if there are any particular Covid precautions required, and in particular if there is anybody in the property who might be considered at particular risk.
