It’s well documented that the U.K. Timber & damp Industry originated in Chatham during the 18th Century.
Over the decades, the Medway Towns have become synonymous for renowned independent damp control companies such as Medway Timber & Damp, and also Dampwise Medway.
The PDA® – Property Dampcourse Association, also has strong links to Medway, as well as Maidstone and Sittingbourne.
In 2014, The PDA® gave ‘Special Recognition Status’ to the Premier Independent Damp Proofing Company – Rochester Building and Damp.
The PDA primarily function as a voluntary non-profit charitable organisation that grants specialist accreditation to select contractors who provide damp proofing services to their local area. Nationally recognised timber and damp companies are disallowed on the grounds of documented widespread unethical practices often reported in the media.
Membership to the PDA is by invitation only, with accreditation based on approved methodology, experience, accolades and assessed contributions to the local community through the preservation of listed buildings.
The secondary aim of the PDA relates to providing annual donations to buildings of historic significance throughout the UK. These limited financial contributions are provided with the specific intention of helping fund damp-proofing and damp-control requirements during the restoration of British buildings considered to be of either architectural or historic significance.
Rochester Building and Damp received full accreditation from the PDA in 2012.
After exceeding the required criteria, the Property Dampcourse Association also bestowed a Community Recognition Award to Rochester Building and Damp in 2014, which constitutes ‘PDA Special Recognition Status’. This greatly appreciated accolade was awarded for “outstanding restoration works” which were undertaken in some particularly well know Rochester High Street premises.
Today, Rochester Building and Damp are best known for installing chemical injection DPC in countless homes, shops and offices throughout Kent.
Rochester Building and Damp offer a SAME DAY SERVICE, where a damp property can be injected and signed off with a 20 Year Guarantee Certificate on the same day.
Rochester Building and Damp also offer same day Timber Treatment, where wood rot and furniture beetle infestation can be sprayed and certified without delay.
