Testimonials

“I am writing in response to your recent visit to our property. We were very pleased with the result of your moisture readings and it was good to have your confirmation that the system had been correctly installed and is working successfully. Your findings added substance to our own feelings that humidity in the house has been reducing ever since the installation, and the areas of wall, which had been of great concern, have all now completely dried out.

Finally I must say how impressed we have been with what I would call the ‘Schrijver experience’! From the moment we first made contact to your recent first anniversary visit all went well. The service we received by telephone and from your surveyor and the installation engineer, was at all times pleasant, prompt and efficient, and the end result first class”

“Having spent many years trying to resolve the damp problems in my house, I heard about the Schrijver System from a friend.

A phone call to them was quickly followed up with a thorough survey and a competitive quote. Although internal damp courses might have been cheaper, there would have been major disruption and re-decorating which I wished to avoid.

The system was installed in a day, and the outside of my house was left immaculate. Within a short time we began to notice the improvement, the house felt more snug as the air was drier, mildew and mould were no longer in evidence and the damp smell had completely gone. Schrijver followed up with a visit after twelve months to do a further survey, in line with their money back guarantee if the system had not worked.

I would thoroughly recommend this system, it is ideal for the damp conditions that prevail in this country and works wonderfully.”

“I live in a brick house built in 1891 and purpose designed as a Vicarage. The house is substantial in size and the design of the walls, by today’s standards, is unusual.

Over the years the original pitch damp proof course has decayed in places, which has given rise to a degree of rising damp in the walls in a number of places.

Considerable research and examination of a number or rival systems led me to Frank Schrijver UK Ltd and, seeing that it is a Dutch firm and that I have social connections in Holland, I investigated the Company’s record in their country of origin. I received very positive results from this source, my friends saying that the company is well known in Holland and that the system is well used and is a successful one.

With this information in hand, I contacted the Company in the UK. The response was prompt and technically reassuring and a survey of my property was arranged. As a result the work to install the system was started shortly afterwards.

I am very satisfied indeed with the result. The work was done quickly, neatly and extremely well. I have considerable personal experience of brickwork and I cannot fault the installation in any way. Moreover, the company engineer who actually did the work on my walls over two days, was hardworking, technically competent, completely trustworthy and very pleasant to have around the place. His tidiness and the clean state in which he left the property was exemplary.

It is now 12 months since the work was completed and the follow up inspection of their work by the company shows that my walls are drying out nicely and that the system is working well: I have nothing but praise for the Company, the system itself and the way the work has been done.

Rising damp in an old property is a particularly intractable problem. The Schrijver system is by far the best solution that I have discovered.”

“When my daughter moved into the annex of my house 3 years ago I installed double-glazing for greater comfort. However, after this the walls became mouldy with black fungus and the carpets and clothes stored in the annex were affected and had to be thrown away. I sought advice from local damp specialists, at a price, who told me it was a lifestyle problem and we should install air bricks, extraction units etc. We did this and less than a year later the black fungus returned, the carpets and clothing had to be thrown away and replaced again.

As a last resort I contacted Schrijver. We were visited by a handsome young man, who carried out a complete FREE survey showing the walls had very large amounts of damp present, and recommended that his system would cure the problem. We accepted his offer and a date was fixed for installation. This was done promptly and cleanly leaving no mess at all. Since then we have not had any black fungus, the carpets are dry and the clothes are unaffected. At the end of the year we asked for a follow up survey and the damp in the walls had fallen from the previous 45% to less than 2%.

Obviously the system works exceedingly well and we would recommend its use to people with problems similar to ours.”
