FAQ
Rising damp in Bexhill-on-Sea — your questions answered
Will treatment damage my plaster or decoration?+
Treating rising damp properly often involves removing contaminated plaster and replastering with a salt-resistant system. We'll explain exactly what's needed in your Bexhill-on-Sea home before any work starts so there are no surprises.
How long does a rising damp survey take?+
A typical survey in Bexhill-on-Sea takes around an hour, depending on the size of the property and how many walls are affected. You'll receive a clear written report and a quote for any recommended treatment.
Do you offer a guarantee on damp proofing work?+
Yes. All our chemical damp proof course installations in Bexhill-on-Sea come with a long-term written guarantee covering the treated areas.
How long does damp treatment take to complete in a Bexhill-on-Sea property?+
Most rising damp treatment jobs in Bexhill-on-Sea take between two and five working days on site, depending on how many walls are affected. The wall then needs a drying period before redecoration — we'll talk you through realistic timescales in your written quote.
Can rising damp affect newer homes in Bexhill-on-Sea?+
It can. Even newer Bexhill-on-Sea properties can develop rising damp where the original DPC has been bridged — by render, a raised path, a new patio or a poorly built extension. Age of the property isn't the only factor.
