Damp Proofing Tunbridge Wells
South East Timber and Damp treat damp problems across Tunbridge Wells and the Wealden villages that surround it, from Rusthall and Southborough to Speldhurst. Dean and the team are used to the mix of Georgian and Victorian villas that grew up around the town during its time as a fashionable spa.
What Is Damp Proofing
Damp proofing is the general term for the treatments used to fix or prevent damp problems in a property, whether that's rising damp, penetrating damp or condensation. The cost of damp can run to thousands of pounds if it's left untreated, so it pays to get a professional assessment early rather than guessing at a fix.
Dean is CSSW and CSTDB qualified through the Property Care Association and a member of the British Structural Waterproofing Association. He leads a team of well-qualified surveyors covering Tunbridge Wells and the whole of Kent, who can identify the problem and provide a guaranteed treatment plan.
Damp Proofing Around Tunbridge Wells
As well as Tunbridge Wells itself, we regularly work in the surrounding villages, including, among others, Pembury, Bidborough, Langton Green, Frant and Groombridge.
Many properties in and around the town date from its Georgian and Victorian spa-town growth, with solid brick or sandstone walls rather than modern cavity construction. Older solid walls handle moisture differently to newer builds, so treatment needs to suit the building rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Recognising the signs of damp?
- Peeling wallpaper
- Tide marks on walls
- Bubbling paintwork
- Black mould spots
Left unchecked, damp can move from a decorating problem into a structural one, affecting timber and brickwork, and reducing a property's energy efficiency. Prolonged exposure to damp conditions has also been linked to respiratory problems such as asthma, so it's worth acting quickly.
Take a look at our damp problems page for more detail on what's causing yours, and how each type is identified.

Damp Treatment Options
Once we've confirmed whether you're dealing with condensation, rising damp or penetrating damp, we can recommend the right fix, whether that's a damp-proof course, a damp membrane, or for basements and cellars, tanking and improved drainage.
We'll always tell you if there's a simpler, cheaper fix you can do yourself first; we don't recommend work that isn't needed.
See our damp proof course and damp membrane pages for more on how each treatment works.
