What this website is, and what it is not

This is an introduction service

Damp Proofing Lincoln is not a damp proofing company. It is a website that connects homeowners in and around Lincoln with one vetted independent damp proofing specialist, a separate local business that carries out surveys and remedial work under its own name and its own responsibility.

When you call the number on this site or send the enquiry form, your enquiry comes to us first, and we pass it to that one specialist. They contact you, arrange any inspection, provide their quote and, if you go ahead, do the work. From the first conversation onward, your relationship is with them.

What "vetted" means here

Before any firm receives enquiries from this site, we check that it is a genuine, established local business: properly identifiable, insured, and willing to work diagnosis-first rather than selling a standard treatment to every caller. We keep it to one specialist deliberately. Your enquiry is not auctioned to a panel of companies, and you will not receive a cascade of competing sales calls because you filled in one form.

What we do not do

• We do not carry out damp proofing, surveys or any building work
• We do not employ the specialist or supervise their work
• We do not add any fee or mark-up to your quote; you pay the specialist exactly what they quote you
• We do not sell your details to anyone else, ever; the one specialist is the only recipient
• We do not guarantee the specialist's work; any guarantee is theirs and is set out in their paperwork

How the site makes money

The specialist pays for the enquiries this site generates. That is the whole business model, stated openly. It costs you nothing, it does not change the price you pay, and it only works for us long-term if the specialist treats the people we send them well.

About the calls

Calls to the number on this site may be recorded for quality and vetting purposes, and a short notice tells you so before you are connected. Details of how call recordings and your enquiry data are handled, and for how long, are in the privacy policy.

Why Lincoln specifically

Because damp is local. A city split between a limestone hilltop and a drained river plain, with everything from medieval stone houses to new estates, rewards a specialist who knows which problems belong to which streets. This site exists to route Lincoln enquiries to someone with exactly that knowledge, and its pages, from rising damp to cellar tanking, are written to help you ask better questions whoever you end up hiring.
