Gravesend based.
Kent, London & Essex.
Twenty miles out of Gravesend takes in most of North Kent, South East London and — straight across the river — South Essex. We survey daily inside that ring and travel further for larger jobs.
Every area has its own page with the local housing stock, the damp problems that come with it, and how quickly we can get to you.
Our coverage area from Gravesend
Four sectors out of Gravesend. Rings mark 10, 20 and 30 miles.
Where we work, and what the housing throws at us
Different areas have different problems, because they were built at different times out of different things. Three towns have their own page so far — for anywhere else, tap the town and tell us what you're seeing.
Damp proofing in Gravesend
Home turf. Victorian and Edwardian terraces with solid walls and original slate roofs — the classic combination for rising damp and failed flat roofs on rear extensions.
Damp proofing in Northfleet
Similar stock to Gravesend with a lot of former industrial housing. Chalk subsoil and older DPCs mean we see plenty of tide-marked ground floors.
Damp proofing in Dartford
Mixed: Victorian terraces near the centre, post-war semis further out. Cracked pebbledash render on the semis is a regular job.
See the Dartford page →DA5 · DA6 · DA7Damp proofing in Bexley & Bexleyheath
1930s semis in volume. Cavity walls, but plenty of bridged cavities and raised patios sitting above the original damp course.
See the Bexley page →ME1 · ME4 · ME7Damp proofing in Medway
Rochester, Chatham, Gillingham and Strood. A lot of pre-1900 solid-wall housing, and one of the areas we get most of our work from.
See the Medway page →Damp proofing in Bromley & Orpington
Larger detached and semi-detached stock, often with flat-roofed extensions and garages that have reached the end of their life.
Damp proofing in Swanley & Swanscombe
Smaller towns inside our daily radius. Straightforward to reach, usually surveyed within a few days.
Damp proofing in Sevenoaks
Period property and listed buildings, where breathable treatments matter far more than sealing a wall up.
Damp proofing in Sidcup & Erith
South East London edges. Mixed stock and a lot of rendered elevations that have gone porous.
Damp proofing in Grays & Tilbury
Straight across the river. Estuary weather gives exposed elevations a hard time, particularly on west-facing walls.
Damp proofing in Maidstone
Just outside the daily ring but regularly worked. Worth a call — we travel further for larger jobs.
Damp proofing in Meopham & Longfield
Village property, often older and solid-walled, sometimes with limited access for scaffold. We survey and plan for that.
Twenty miles is the daily ring, not a hard border.
We survey inside that radius most days. Outside it, it comes down to the size of the job — a full re-roof in Ashford is worth the drive, a single blown patch of plaster probably isn't, and we'll say so rather than waste your morning.
Surveyed within days
North Kent, South East London and South Essex. Usually a few working days from your call, sooner if it's an active leak.
Yes, for most jobs
Maidstone, Sevenoaks, Basildon and similar. We'll agree a day that works rather than giving you a two-hour window we can't keep.
