Keenan Able sorted out a damp problem around a window we had had for 20 years. Up until then had cost us two new windows, which hadn't solved the problem. Keenan Able located the problem in the window reveals, which they repaired. Three years later, the damp has never reappeared. Wish I'd found them sooner.
