Which?Trusted Traders recommendations:

  • I used Thanet Timber and Damp Ltd for a not insubstantial list of work on my newly purchased Victorian house (damp proofing, internal and external timber work).

    They were extremely helpful, prompt, conscientious and always available for updates. I was rather nervous as this was the first time that I had commissioned this type of work and they explained everything clearly and kept me in the picture which was very reassuring.

    The work was done to budget and on time. I would not hesitate to recommend the company. Many thanks

  • Thank you for a superb service

  • Clear quote, work carried out cleanly and quietly

    Really pleased with the service I received. Andy and Iréne went out of their way to help me meet a very tight timeline to get estimates on the work.

    The quote was very clear, broken down by individual tasks and price. When the work started Andy and Simon explained the timelines and what will be happening, were happy to discuss any questions I had.

    They tidied up after themselves each day and tried to reduce their impact on us as much a possible, which was really appreciated. They also helped me with another issue I had before wrapping up the main job which was great.

    Overall super impressed, would recommend fully and without hesitation.

    Customer in Kent 2021

  • Very Professional and Hard Working

    We moved into a big old house and discovered a wealth of work that needed doing urgently. Andrew and Simon had a giant list of external and internal work to get through including wood repairs, damp, guttering, insulation, woodworm repairs. They did it all efficiently and with great care and workmanship. They are highly professional, skilled at what they do and super friendly.

    They went above and beyond both in the work they carried out but also the advice and clarity of the schedule

  • Excellent team and work

    We have had an excellent experience from start to finish. We had a damp survey done followed by the work needed - all done to a very high standard by a very professional and friendly team who have been really helpful with very effective communication.

    Amy, Kent, 2020

  • Highly professional

    Andy turned up on time and got to work quickly. He kept us up to date with the work. What he doing and why he was doing it. The work done was very good and we were given advice about future maintenance and use. We have booked him to come back for some more work!

    Mark, Kent, 2020

  • Prompt and professional.

    After a prompt and professional assessment a discussion of the issues, details of work involved, timescale & costs were given both verbally and in writing. Some joists and plates were replaced, new flooring laid & spraying for woodworm carried out.

    Work started & finished on time and to budget. Friendly & helpful throughout. Rubbish removed & paperwork given as promised. All in all a good job done!

Timber Treatment

Woodworm, dry rot and wet rot are the most common timber decay. Most buildings are built using a certain amount of timber, in older buildings it can be as much as 75% of the whole structure.

Following identification and cause of the timber decay, we will submit recommendations for remedial/treatment.

Damp Proofing Treatment

Rising damp or penetrative damp in walls will, in time, cause deterioration of internal wall plaster and can be detrimental to the health of the occupiers.

The most common causes of rising/penetrative dampness in buildings are:

No existing damp proof course – Bridging of existing damp proof course – Leaking pipes – Faulty rainwater goods.

Following identification and cause of rising/penetrative damp, we will submit recommendations for remedial treatment.

Damp Proof Course – Damp Proofing systems – Plastering – Basements - Condensation
