Damp Proofing Specialists Hythe
Are you dealing with a damp problem in your home? Perhaps you have noticed an unpleasant smell, mould, or dark patches forming in the corners? We are here to help.
Common types of damp
- Rising Damp: Typically travels upward from the ground, often a sign of a damaged DPC or outside ground levels that sit too high against the property
- Penetrating Damp: Moisture entering from the outside and making its way through the structure
- Condensation Damp: Excess humidity in spaces such as bathrooms or bedrooms where there is insufficient ventilation to allow moisture to escape
Damp proofing identifies and treats moisture within walls. Our work covers rising damp through a new chemical damp proof course (DPC) injection, penetrating damp caused by defective walls or deteriorating pointing, and the control of condensation and mould.
Where rising damp is the concern, reducing the outside ground level can make a considerable difference, as it should sit at least 150mm below the interior floor level. In situations where this is not achievable, options such as land drainage, french gravel drains, and tanking the lower section of the exterior wall may be recommended.
Treatment generally involves installing the DPC, hacking off and re-plastering using salt retardant render, and resolving the underlying source of the moisture.
Alongside our damp proofing services in Hythe, we also offer brickwork repairs, external wall rendering and a range of other related work.

We had our driveway extended, new garden steps and path installed by Joseph and his team and they did a fantastic job. They all worked so hard and it looks amazing. Highly recommend!
Thoroughly impressed with Joe and his team who recently completed my driveway in Ashford, arrived on time, completed the job promptly & amazing finish.
Outstanding service, highly recommend!
I had been looking to get our drive done for some time and was lucky enough to find JD drive style. Joseph and his team were incredibly efficient, well priced and did a fantastic job on our drive. Would highly recommend
Joe and his team block paved a parking area at the front of my house this morning. I absolutely cannot praise them enough. A very reasonable price for a fantastic job. From lawn to paved in about 5 hours! No skips required and all materials collected as they needed them. They were so amazing my husband is getting them to come back again and give our back garden a complete makeover. You honestly couldn't wish for a nicer more hardworking team. Thank you Joe. See you again soon.
I had the lower part of my potholed driveway resurfaced to a SMA tarmac finish. It was originally covered in gravel, like the top part, but the slope at the lower end is so pronounced that gravel kept rolling down onto the road and vehicles (particularly heavy trucks) had difficulty getting up the steep slope without spinning their wheels and digging more holes. Joseph advised on the best solution, and he and his team carried out the work incredibly quickly and efficiently this morning before the rain came. I was happy with both the price and the work.
Joseph and his team did a fantastic job on our patio, their quote was reasonable and they were able to get the job done very quickly, Joseph runs his team like a military operation! As well as helping me secure the best price on the materials (which we sourced) they were so efficient and clean on site, with attention to detail as well. We would highly recommend JD Drivestyle and will be using them again very soon for other projects!
Joseph and his team have done a great job - they put down a nice concrete patio in my garden for my garden shed. They were efficient, professional & courteous. Job well done !
Joseph was very quick to answer our initial query and came and quoted the same day (never heard from the other firm I called for a quote). They were always easy to get hold of for any queries we had before the work started, and they widened our driveway and tarmacked it in the same day. All the workers were constantly busy, and were courteous and polite. The work was exceptional and they cleared any debris up before they left. A job well done 😊
We asked Joseph to quote for resin paths around our house and he responded rapidly with a competitive price. In just a day his skilled team prepared the surfaces, laid brick edging and applied the resin, matching our existing drive perfectly. When an incompetent supplier failed to deliver the bricks on time, creating a potential crisis, Joseph went miles out of his way to collect the necessary materials so that the work kept to schedule, remaining calm and professional throughout. Great work!
Joseph and his team really efficient, professional, and conscientious. They repaired a number of broken or subsided parts along the entire length on our long drive. One part does need further attention but Joseph will be over to sort this in the next couple of weeks. Highly recommend
