Accurate Damp Diagnosis from Trusted Specialists
Damp problems are rarely straightforward. Symptoms like staining, peeling paint or musty smells can have multiple underlying causes. Damp can take many forms, and misdiagnosis of the cause of damp is one of the most common reasons problems return. Our PCA-accredited surveyors carry out detailed damp surveys in Kent, assessing both visible symptoms and hidden moisture sources.
You’ll receive a clear, jargon-free report outlining the cause of the issue, the most effective next steps, and a no-obligation quote for any work. This ensures any recommended treatment is necessary, appropriate and designed to last.
Damp Proofing Solutions Tailored to Your Property
No two properties are the same, which is why we tailor every solution to the building and the type of damp identified. Our damp proofing solutions in Kent are designed to deal with rising damp, penetrating moisture and internal condensation issues.
Choosing the right contractor is essential when dealing with damp. With Timberwise, you benefit from established expertise, accredited surveyors and a reputation built on honest, reliable service. Where required, we combine treatments with ventilation improvements or moisture control measures. This joined-up approach ensures the problem is resolved at source, reducing the risk of it returning.

Damp problems often lead to wider issues within the property. Timberwise provides a full range of specialist services to address these as part of a complete solution. Timberwise offers a complete property care service, with specialist solutions available for:
- Dry rot and wet rot treatment
- Woodworm infestation and timber treatment
- Structural repairs and wall stabilisation

A professional survey is the first step towards resolving damp. Our comprehensive damp surveys in Kent assess moisture levels, building construction and ventilation to identify the root cause.
