Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from damp proofing specialists in Derby 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.
No content explaining the difference between damp types
Homeowners Google their damp problem before calling anyone. If your website explains rising damp vs condensation vs penetrating damp, you become the expert they trust to fix it.

Questions from Damp Proofing Specialists in Derby
Straight answers — no jargon.
What if I already have a website?
We'll audit it for free. If it's slow, missing your credentials, or not bringing in enquiries, we'll fix it. If it's already decent, we'll focus on Maps, reviews, and ads instead.
How is this different from lead generation sites?
Lead gen sites charge per enquiry and you compete with other specialists for the same job. We build YOUR online presence so homeowners come directly to you. No middleman, no per-lead fees.
How long before I start getting survey bookings in Derby?
Website and Google Maps fixes go live within 1-2 weeks. If you add Local Services Ads targeting Derby, results come faster. The niche nature of damp proofing means less competition for rankings.
Can you target specific areas within Derby?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you cover within Derby. So you show up when someone nearby searches for damp proofing.
Is there a long contract?
No. After an initial 3-month period (so we can actually show results), it's rolling monthly. Cancel with 30 days' notice. No lock-ins. And you keep the website either way.
