Damp in Sittingbourne Homes
Sittingbourne is a brick town. For much of the nineteenth century the brickfields of Sittingbourne and Murston made the Kentish yellow stock bricks that built Victorian London, shipped out by barge down Milton Creek. Employers built whole streets of solid brick terraces for their brick, paper and cement workers, and those central terraces are still here today. Solid walls have no cavity, so where the original damp proof course has failed they take in rising damp, and exposed elevations suffer penetrating damp through worn pointing and render.
The older heart of Milton Regis is different again, with its timber-framed buildings and medieval Court Hall. These need to breathe, and cement renders or modern impervious plasters trap moisture and feed decay. Towards Milton Creek, Murston and the Swale, the ground is low-lying former marsh, and much of the wider area sits on moisture-retentive brickearth and old brickfield ground, so a high water table can show up as ground damp in floors and cellars.
On the edges of town, the large modern estates and the regenerated town centre are a different problem set: cavity-built and well sealed, they tend to suffer condensation and black mould rather than rising damp. With that range of property, the only sensible first step is a proper survey that finds the real cause.

What Our Customers Say
Genuine reviews from Advanced Damp customers.
"Professional company and a great transformation. The area is a small below ground void that has a sloped cement retaining slab. They damproofed it and then came up with a great plan to add storage shelves. It looks great and has added the storage that we wanted."
"The whole episode was straightforward, from the surveyor, Lionel's visit to the work being completed by Brandon, who was prompt, polite and worked with as little disruption as he could, leaving the space reasonably clean and tidy."
"We contacted Advanced Damp to help us with a damp issue on one of our windows. Communication was prompt, easy, friendly and professional. The assessment was carried out thoroughly and competently by Lionel and the report was comprehensive."
