Spray foam, loft insulation and damp in Tonbridge homes
Tonbridge grew up around a river crossing and its castle, whose gatehouse still stands above the Medway. The old High Street is a conservation area with listed buildings, and the town expanded fast once the railway arrived. Rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces and villas spread out around the station and up towards the north of the town.
The Medway runs right through the centre, and parts of Tonbridge sit on its floodplain. Even where homes stay dry, a high water table and damp ground mean suspended timber floors and solid walls need good ventilation. Blocked air bricks, bridged damp courses and leaking gutters on older terraces are behind much of the damp we see here.
North Tonbridge in TN10, around Higham Wood, Trench Wood and Cage Green, is mostly post-war and later housing. These lofts were often insulated once, long ago, and then boarded directly over the joists. We take out what is tired, lay Knauf mineral wool to 300mm and fit raised boarding so you keep your storage.
TN11 takes in villages like Hildenborough, Leigh and Penshurst, with older cottages and some listed homes alongside newer houses. Spray foam turns up across all of them. It covers roof timbers and can trap moisture against them. Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam, so we remove it by hand and give you a Certificate of Removal and a 10-year guarantee.

Questions we get in Tonbridge
Do you cover all of Tonbridge?
Yes. We cover Tonbridge across TN9, TN10 and TN11, from the town centre and North Tonbridge out to Hildenborough, Leigh and Penshurst. Our Sevenoaks office is just up the road. Surveys for spray foam removal and loft insulation are free, and you get a written price before any work is agreed.
Does being near the Medway cause damp in Tonbridge homes?
It can add to it. Parts of Tonbridge sit on the Medway floodplain, where the ground stays wet and the water table is high. Older homes with solid walls and suspended timber floors need clear air bricks and dry ground levels outside. We check these first before recommending any damp treatment.
Is loft insulation worth it in a North Tonbridge home?
Usually, yes. Many post-war and later homes in Higham Wood, Trench Wood and Cage Green have thin insulation, often squashed under boards. We top up to 300mm of Knauf mineral wool and fit raised boarding so you keep the storage. Insulation carries a 10-year guarantee.
Is spray foam a problem in my Tonbridge home?
It can be. Foam stuck to the underside of a roof hides the timbers and can trap moisture against them. Many lenders and surveyors are cautious about spray foam, so it often comes up at sale or remortgage. We remove it by hand and give you a Certificate of Removal and a 10-year guarantee.
Can you work on older homes in Tonbridge town centre?
Yes. The old High Street is a conservation area with listed buildings. Loft insulation does not change how a house looks, but listed homes may need consent, so check with Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council first. We use breathable materials and flag anything that may need permission at the survey.
What happens at a free survey in Tonbridge?
We check the loft, roof timbers, any spray foam and any damp walls, take photos and explain what we find in plain English. You then get a written price, with no pressure. If nothing needs doing, we tell you. Damp proofing work carries a 25-year insurance-backed guarantee.
