We feared it was damp and could cause health issues to our kids and hence we had to get it sorted. The crew was also professional, tidy, and clean, respectful of our house. The difference is amazing.

WORTHLESS GUARANTEE. Further to my review in June 2022 a mould problem which was much worse developed last year. I contacted Stuart who attended and told me the problem was urgent. After several weeks he did the job which was meant to fix the issue, but the mould problem returned within several weeks. I contacted him again. Initially he agreed to return and fix the problem, but after excuses for non attendance he stopped answering emails and has not attended. The mould is spreading through the cellar due to his failure to attend and carry out the necessary work. Unfortunately I am unable to upload photos with this review, but I would be more than happy to share them.
The 20 year guarantee issued appears to be worthless. I would NOT recommend this company.
Are these reviews genuine? Look at the number of reviews in a very short period of time- Stuart must have been finishing a job every 2 days to collect all of these. Plus the accounts have small number of reviews attached- suggesting bots. Stuart still owes me £1000's, a figure because of the court order that gets bigger every month.
Kingston Preservation converted four under-street vaults into excellent storage at a great price. Fantastic job _ five stars, highly recommended!
I had a very disappointing experience with Kingston Preservation & Alpha Omega Invest. I lost $300, and it's clear now that this is a scam. Their website looks professional, but it's all a front. Be careful—don't fall for the fake promises or the fake reviews they post to seem credible. I trusted them, and they took advantage of that trust. Avoid at all costs!
Go to compliment the team at Kingston property Preservation for a fantastic job in transforming our damp under-street cellar into a games room for our children. A faultless job done to an amazingly high standard and at a really good price.
We are really pleased with the job Kingston Preservation did to waterproof and seal our under-stair cellar. The job was done with great care and consideration Will definitely be using them again.
A great job was done by Kingston Preservation in waterproofing and renovating our under-street vaults--6 of them. We were very happy with the initial price compared to other quotes, and they did not disappoint us. It was a pleasure dealing with the company, and the quality of the finished job was amazing. Thank you all at Kingston Preservation for doing an amazing job.
We are pleased with the service provided by Kingston Property Preservation to repair the rotten and deal with the woodworm in our property. They were easy to contact, explained everything clearly, and answered all our questions. The job was done at a good price and with a high standard of workmanship. We have been very impressed and will be recommending the company to friends and family.
We were struggling to sell our flat as the Home Report had a "3" marked for dampness. We contacted Kingston; they surveyed our flat the next day at no charge. They sent the report the following day, our solicitor got their report attached to the Home Report, and we got an offer a week later, which we accepted. An amazing service! We had tried 5 other companies before stumbling upon Kingston Preservation.
I would like to thank all the workmen and admin team at Kingston Preservation for the quality job in turning our 5 under-street pavement cellars into fantastic usable space. The job was done quickly, at a good price, and to a high standard of finish. Great job! We needed to utilize this space to clear stored items in our basement flat, which is not the biggest. Thanks again, guys, and a 5-star rating from us.
Great job done by Kingston Preservation in converting our under-street cellar. Quality workmanship without expense, with special mention to Cameron and Daniel, who did the work. A great job done by the Kingston team; highly recommended.

Thank you to the guys at Kingstone property preservation for sorting the dam in my mum's house. We needed to get this sorted, and you worked so hard to fix it. We are so happy you sorted our damp-it was 3 days of dust, drilling, and hard work. but you guys did and amazing job. Thank you, and a 5-star recommendation!
Nice job done-very happy with the price and the job done. Will use this company again.
Super job done by Kingston Preservation in transforming our under-street space into a utility room. A quality job done by a really nice team of workmen. A pleasure to do business with Kingston Preservation; will use this company again.
We had a guarantee with Kingston Preservation to fix the mould in our outbuildings. They came a few times, never stayed more than a few hours and failed to fix the problem. On both occasions they left a mess, lost our house keys and refused to answer our calls. We tried to call them about the guarantee but they blocked my number and ignored messages. Seriously disappointing - avoid at all costs. In process of sorting legally.
Kingston provided a clear, fair quote for damp repairs in out flat and did an excellent job as promised. We highly recommended them and would gladly use their services again.
