Leak to dry to treated, one company in Farningham

Farningham's housing mix runs from Georgian and older brick and flint cottages clustered around the River Darent to twentieth-century infill homes on the village fringes. Many properties sit within the conservation area, built with solid walls and lime plaster rather than cavities, so water ingress from the river or burst pipework saturates fabric that cannot dry quickly through modern methods.

Drying challenges in Farningham homes

Solid walls and lime plaster in older cottages

Many Farningham cottages near the High Street and the river have solid brick or flint walls finished in lime plaster rather than modern gypsum. Lime is breathable but slow to release bulk water, and repairing it with cement-based patches traps moisture behind a hard skin. Drying has to be paced to the wall's own release rate or damp simply reappears months later.

Riverside properties and flood-prone ground floors

Homes close to the River Darent and the historic ford have long been exposed to flood risk during heavy rain, which pushes water under skirtings and into solid or semi-solid ground floors. Saturated screed traps moisture beneath it for weeks, and if drying stops too early, damp wicks back up through floors and lower wall courses.

Timber frames and hidden voids in listed buildings

Several Farningham properties are listed or within the conservation area, with timber-framed sections, exposed beams and boxed-in voids around joists. Leaks or flooding can soak into these hidden cavities unnoticed, and conservation rules limit which materials and drying techniques can be used, making it easy for trapped moisture to turn into mould and timber decay.

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.

Tip: Painting or plastering over a wall that is still wet inside traps the moisture and the mould comes back. Drying to a measured moisture target first means the repair lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How long does structural drying take in Farningham?
Most domestic drying takes one to three weeks depending on how wet the structure is and the materials. We monitor moisture levels and confirm when it is genuinely dry.
Can I hire dehumidifiers from you?
Yes. We supply, install and monitor commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, hired by the day or week for as long as the drying takes.
Will you find the leak that caused it?
Yes. We can trace the source with non-destructive leak detection first, so you are not drying out a property that is still getting wet.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. Drying comes with moisture logs and a written report formatted for insurers and managing agents.
