Case study 1: Low-level damp and salts in a Victorian terrace near Maidstone town centre
A homeowner reported crumbling skirtings and bubbling paint along the base of an internal wall. There were visible salt deposits and the plaster was deteriorating up to around a metre.
- We inspected the ground-floor walls and checked external ground levels and bridging points.
- Moisture readings and visible salts suggested a rising damp / contamination issue rather than condensation.
- Where appropriate, a new chemical damp proof course was installed to reduce moisture movement.
- Salt-contaminated plaster was removed and replaced with a suitable re-plastering specification.
Customer feedback:
"Clear explanation and a very tidy job. The wall has dried out and the finish is excellent."
Case study 2: Mould and condensation in bedrooms on an estate near Bearsted
A family experienced repeated mould growth behind furniture on an external wall and around window reveals. The mould was worse during colder months and the rooms had limited airflow.
- We ruled out external water ingress and confirmed condensation as the main cause.
- Ventilation and humidity-reduction measures were recommended, including improvements to extraction and airflow.
- Mould was treated safely and guidance was provided to reduce recurrence.
Customer feedback:
"Finally someone explained what was causing it. The changes worked and it hasn't returned."

Can you treat mould and help stop it returning?
Yes. We treat mould safely and focus on prevention by improving ventilation and reducing humidity so it's less likely to return.
Do you carry out making-good after damp treatment?
Yes. Where needed, we can organise related works such as re-plastering and making good after treatment to restore the affected areas.
