Damp Proofing Tonbridge
South East Timber and Damp treat damp problems throughout Tonbridge and the villages that surround it, from Hildenborough and Leigh to Penshurst. Dean, who leads our team, has spent years getting to know the town's older, Medway-side properties and how they behave when it comes to damp.
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 Tonbridge and the whole of Kent, who can identify the problem and provide a guaranteed treatment plan.
Damp Proofing Around Tonbridge
As well as Tonbridge itself, we regularly work in the surrounding villages, including Hildenborough, Leigh, Penshurst, Hadlow, East Peckham, Golden Green and Shipbourne.
Tonbridge sits on the floodplain of the River Medway, close to the historic Tonbridge Castle. Proximity to a river doesn't automatically mean a property has a damp problem, but it's one more reason a proper survey, rather than guesswork, is worth having if you're seeing any of the signs below.
What are 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.
