Leak to dry to treated, one company in Gillingham

Gillingham's housing runs from Victorian terraces around the old Dockyard and Brompton, through 1930s bay-fronted semis, to postwar council-built estates in Twydall and Hempstead and denser flat conversions nearer the town centre. This mix of solid brick, cavity block and timber suspended floors means leaks behave differently street to street, and older lime-plastered walls hold water for far longer than modern plasterboard.

Drying challenges in Gillingham homes

Solid brick terraces near the Dockyard and Brompton

Many terraces close to Brompton and the old Dockyard were built with solid brick walls and lime-based plaster rather than cavity construction. When a leak soaks these walls, moisture spreads sideways through the brickwork instead of staying contained, and lime plaster can hold dampness for weeks. Drying has to be gradual, as forcing heat too quickly can crack old plaster and push moisture into timber joists hidden behind skirtings.

Ex-council semis and concrete floors in Twydall and Hempstead

The 1950s and 60s semis common across Twydall and Hempstead were frequently built with solid concrete ground floors and cavity block walls. A burst pipe or washing machine leak here saturates the screed itself, not just the surface, and concrete holds water far longer than timber. Skirtings and stud partitions built off these floors need checking, since damp readily tracks upward into plasterboard walls.

Flat conversions and older housing stock towards the town centre

Around Gillingham town centre and Grange, older houses split into flats often have shared floor voids, timber subfloors and multiple layers of flooring added over the years. Water from an upstairs leak can sit trapped between joists and old boarding, unseen from either flat, encouraging mould growth in voids before any staining appears on ceilings below. Thorough moisture mapping is needed before drying equipment is positioned.

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 Gillingham?
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.
