Repairs and maintenance
A damp patch is a sign to investigate, not a diagnosis. Before paying for treatment, you should understand where the moisture is coming from and why the proposed work will help. Tell Pinnacle what you have noticed and we will help you find vetted tradespeople for the project.

Worth thinking about
Leaks, rain penetration and condensation can look similar to a homeowner but call for different responses. Describe when the problem appears, whether it changes with the weather and what has already been tried. Ask for the findings and recommended treatment in writing, including anything that needs another trade's attention.
The work
Why we are here
Cowboy builders have cost families their savings, and the tradespeople who turn up on time and do the work properly get tarred with the same brush. Most platforms check the company rather than the person who will be standing in your kitchen.
Pinnacle vets the individual. Our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years helping families rebuild after they were let down, more than 500 of them, sometimes out of his own pocket. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are all checked by a person, against the standard he built that work to.
It costs you nothing, and you are not handed a list and left to it. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project, so if something needs sorting out there is someone to tell.
Graham's storyPinnacle of All Trades
You should not have to start from scratch with a list of names. Our vetting follows the standard our founder, Graham Nash, has spent 25 years building. We find suitable tradespeople for your project, so you can concentrate on what your home needs.
Share the work, your postcode and your timing. Add photos or plans if you have them. It is fine to say what you are still deciding.
We match the project with vetted tradespeople. Identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references are checked before introductions.
Discuss the work, ask questions and agree the scope and quote before hiring. Pinnacle stays involved, so you have someone to contact if a concern comes up.
Once we have looked at your project, we set up your own project area on Pinnacle and send you the link. You can see where the project stands and what happens next, read the tradespeople we introduce by name, ask one of them to contact you, add photos or documents as the work is scoped, tell us if something is wrong, and keep the project up to date as things change.
A clearer quote
The cause, affected area, access and work needed afterwards determine the scope. Removing plaster, repairing a leak and redecorating may sit outside a treatment quote. Understand those boundaries and any conditions attached to a guarantee before deciding.
Before you hire any builder
From 25 years of helping homeowners after they've been let down. The things every family should check before signing a contract.
No checklist is foolproof, and neither is any vetting. We check every tradesperson hard, but if a job ever stops feeling right, trust your instincts, run it past this list, and tell us. Because Pinnacle of All Trades sits in the middle, you're never sorting it out on your own.
Not just our word for it
Graham has been on ITV This Morning talking about what every homeowner should know before hiring, and in 2021 he was voted the inaugural winner of the SGS Local Hero Award, taking 39% of over 2,000 public votes.
"Contacted Smith Bros Roofing from Pinnacle of All Trades. He was outstanding with the service, came the same day to give a quote and got the job done within 5 hours."

Before you start
It can help explain the symptoms, but an assessment may be needed to identify the source. Avoid choosing a treatment solely from the appearance of a patch.
It is better to understand and address the cause before covering the affected area. Ask when the surfaces will be ready for finishing.
The diagnosis, proposed work, exclusions, making good and any monitoring or aftercare. Ask questions if it names a product without explaining the problem it addresses.
Yes. Share the wider plans so moisture-related work can be considered before new plaster, floors and finishes are installed.
Yes. Registering a project and being introduced to tradespeople costs you nothing, and we take no commission on the work.
No. There is no obligation at any point. Talk to whoever we introduce, get quotes, and walk away if none of them is right for you.
It depends on who is available and suitable near you, so it may be one or it may be several. Nothing is exclusive, so you can compare before you decide.
Tell us. Pinnacle stays in the middle for the whole project rather than stepping back after the introduction, so you are not sorting it out on your own.
A screening call first, then identity, insurance, relevant qualifications and references, all checked by a person before anyone is put in front of you.
Your home. Your next step.
We will help you find the right people to talk to about damp assessment and treatment.
Free for homeowners. No obligation to hire.
