Case study 1: Rising damp at ground-floor level in Dartford

A homeowner noticed blown plaster and bubbling paint near skirting level in a lounge. The wall base showed salts and the external ground levels were high relative to internal floor level.

We inspected the elevation, checked for bridging, and took moisture readings.
Advice was provided to reduce external bridging where possible.
Where appropriate, a chemical DPC was installed to reduce further moisture movement.
Salt-contaminated plaster was removed and replaced with a suitable specification.

Customer feedback:
"Very clear explanation and a tidy finish. The room is noticeably drier."

We confirmed condensation as the primary cause and ruled out external water ingress.
Practical ventilation and airflow improvements were recommended.
Mould treatment was carried out and prevention advice provided for redecoration.

Customer feedback:
"Great advice. The mould hasn't returned and the room feels fresher."

FAQs - Damp proofing in Dartford

Do you offer free damp surveys in Dartford?

For straightforward issues where the cause is likely to be clear, we can often visit and provide a free quote. If you need a more detailed investigation or a written report, we'll confirm any fee in advance.

How can I tell if it's rising damp or condensation?

Rising damp usually affects the lower part of ground-floor walls and can show tide marks and salts. Condensation is often higher up or in corners and tends to worsen in colder months. We inspect and explain the findings clearly.

Do you repair the damage after damp treatment?

Yes. Where required we can handle re-plastering and making good after damp proofing works, and advise on suitable finishes so the issue doesn't return.
