In this episode of A_Z of Atlantis Property Preservation, y is for ‘Years of Experience’.
Jamie has years of experience and established the company in 2009. On leaving school he worked in a local building yard in Frodsham, Cheshire. This gave him a solid foundation in building knowledge and customer service skills, and he loved his time here. He then decided to join the family plastering business. As a third generation plasterer, he learnt all the skills needed for all plastering work from his brother, dad and grandad.
Why specialise in Damp Proofing and Timber Treatments?
Whilst honing his plastering skills at the family business, one of the key customer was a damp proof course specialist. This gave Jamie the opportunity to begin to learn the additional skills needed to complete damp related remedial works.
Jamie understood the importance of using the right replastering and began to develop his understanding of diagnosing different types of dampness in buildings. Jamie also recognised that timber infestations and rots often go hand in hand with each other. This is because rot and infestations need moisture to thrive. Due to this, he decided to complete the 2 year qualification with the PCA to give him a more detailed knowledge of both damp and timber issues in buildings.
In 2009 he decided to set up on his own, and Atlantis was born. Since then, through hard work and determination, We have grown year on year. Jamie completed specific surveying qualifications for remedial treatments (CSRT), and became a member of the Property Care Association. This membership has been invaluable as annual audits ensure Atlantis approach remains best practice. Jamie’s wife, Freya also completed her CSBD (Certified Surveyor of Dampness in Buildings).
An interest in condensation solutions soon followed, and the confidence to advise on individual solution to condensation developed. In particular the amazing effects of PIV in properties with severe condensation issues was remarkable.
