Damp-Proof Render in Maidstone
Specialist waterproof and salt-resistant render systems for damp-affected and below-ground walls.
We carry out damp-proof render across Maidstone and the surrounding Kent area throughout the year.
The prevailing picture in Kent is ragstone and flint cottages, oast houses, Victorian terraces and coastal housing. That means coastal weathering at Margate and Dover, lime work on ragstone comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
Local conditions bring drier than average inland, exposed on the coast, and that has a direct bearing on which systems are worth specifying. Kentish ragstone is porous and traditionally lime-rendered, while the north kent coast takes some of the most persistent easterly exposure in the south east.
When damp-proof render is the right call. Choose a damp-proof system after flooding, alongside DPC works, on below-ground walls, and wherever salt contamination is destroying normal plaster.

FAQs
Damp-Proof Render in Maidstone
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
How long before I can decorate?
Allow a minimum of several weeks for the wall to dry, longer after flooding. Decorating too early traps moisture and the finish fails.
Can salt damage come back?
Not if the source of moisture is fixed and a salt-inhibiting system was used. Recurrence almost always means the underlying cause was never resolved.
How long does a rendering job take?
A typical three-bedroom semi is usually one to two weeks on site including scaffold, preparation, application and finishing. Weather, wall condition and the system chosen all move that.
