Leak to dry to treated, one company in East Peckham
East Peckham's housing runs from timber-framed and weatherboarded cottages around the old village core to converted oast houses near Beltring and postwar infill nearer Paddock Wood, sitting on heavy Wealden clay close to the River Medway. That mix of solid lath-and-plaster walls, round oast kilns and low-lying land near Twyford Bridge means leaks and floodwater get trapped rather than draining away, so drying takes longer and needs different handling in each property type.

Drying challenges in East Peckham homes
Converted oast houses and roundel voids
The oast conversions around Beltring and the wider parish have curved brick roundels, timber kiln floors and deep roof voids originally built to vent hot air, not trap damp. Once water gets into these spaces it can sit in the voids and against old kiln timbers for weeks. We use targeted air movers and dehumidifiers positioned to reach these awkward curved cavities rather than treating the roundel like a standard room.
Timber-framed cottages with lath and plaster
Many older cottages in and around East Peckham's village centre still have lath and plaster internal walls and solid brick or timber-framed construction with no cavity to interrupt moisture. A burst pipe or roof leak soaks straight into the plaster and surrounding timber studwork, and drying too fast with high heat can crack historic plasterwork. We monitor moisture levels carefully and dry these walls gradually to protect original fabric while still preventing mould.
Low-lying homes near the Medway and Twyford Bridge floodplain
Properties nearer the River Medway and Twyford Bridge sit on clay ground with a naturally high water table, so solid floors, screed and skirting stay wet longer after a flood or groundwater ingress. Rising damp can mimic ongoing leaks even after the source is fixed. We use screed and subfloor drying equipment alongside moisture readings taken over several days to confirm the slab is genuinely dry before reinstating flooring.

Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
