The timber and masonry in your home is what holds it together and protects you. When this becomes damaged your home becomes vulnerable. Anglian Tectonics is a name synonymous with property preservation services; including treatments for woodworm, dry rot, wet rot and rising damp in Canterbury and the surrounding Kent areas since the 1980's, ensuring your home remains protected. Anglian Tectonics is the oldest established continuously owned family Company in East Kent and has been trading for over 40 years.
Over time the original materials used to build older properties take their toll. Bricks crumble, metal will corrode and your home's structure becomes vulnerably weak. Our structural engineers have vast experience in carrying repair services to all aspects of structures, including timber joists, cavity walls and lintels. The restraint of external walls is often provided by floor joists and purlins spanning onto a wall together with buttressing cross walls; however, the presence of stairwells, parallel joists and stud cross walls will deny restraint.
Our surveyors have many years of experience within the preservation industry and can provide a full written report, specification, sketch plans and quotations for various types of building preservation. If the problem is outside the scope of works undertaken by this company then best advice would be given on how to deal with the problem. We are a specialist preservation company and not a building Company seeking to do preservation works and you can be safe in the knowledge that we shall not be looking for additional works unless specifically instructed to do so.
Many mature properties are subject to rising damp due to the lack of an effective damp proof course a horizontal layer of water-proof material built into a wall, e.g. In some instances it may be found that damp problems within a property are due to internal or external defects, such as faulty rainwater goods and porous external pointing. The presence of condensation and associated moulds can sometimes be mistaken by householders for rising or penetrating dampness. Our surveyors will identify the problem and advise accordingly.
