What we do

## Specialist damp, tanking, rendering and roofing

### Damp Proofing
Rising and penetrating damp diagnosed at source, then treated with injected damp proof courses, replastering and ventilation that keeps walls dry for good.

See how it works

### Tanking &amp; Waterproofing
Cellars, basements and below-ground rooms sealed with cementitious tanking or cavity drain membranes, turning wet space into usable, dry rooms.

See how it works

### Roofing
New roofs, repairs, flat roofing, fascias and soffits, chimney work and commercial roofing: watertight detailing, tidy site, clear pricing.

See how it works

### Rendering
Silicone, monocouche and traditional sand-and-cement render that sheds water, resists cracking and lifts the whole front of the property.

Why Intell

## Four reasons Medway homeowners call us back

### Damp specialists, not generalists
Damp proofing and tanking are our core trade. That means the diagnosis is right first time, the specification suits the building, and you are not paying for a guess dressed up as a cure.

### One firm, roof to plaster
Roofing, rendering, damp proofing and internal repair under one company. The fault gets fixed and the damage gets made good without three separate trades blaming each other.

### Fixed written pricing
Every job is quoted in writing against a specification before we lift a tool, so you know exactly what is being done and exactly what it costs.

### Directly employed teams
The people who turn up are our own, in our own vans, working to our standards: tidy, respectful of the property, and contactable through the office.

The real cost of leaving it

## Damp never stays a decorating problem
A tide mark on a wall, a musty smell in a back bedroom, a patch of render that keeps blowing, they all start small and they all get more expensive the longer they run. Moisture moves into plaster, then into skirtings and joinery, then into floor timbers. Mould follows. Heating bills climb because wet walls cannot hold warmth. Eventually a repair that was a one-day job becomes a room stripped back to brick.

The other cost is repeat work. Damp is frequently treated as a wall problem when the cause sits above it: a slipped tile, a failed flashing, a hairline crack in old render letting water track down the cavity. Treat the wall and ignore the cause and the stain simply returns after the first hard winter.

### What you get when it is done properly

- Dry, warm, usable roomsWalls that hold heat, plaster that stays sound, and rooms you can decorate once and forget about.
- The cause fixed, not coveredWe trace the water back to its source: roof, render, ground level or ventilation, then deal with that first.
- A property that protects its valueDocumented, specified damp and tanking work stands up to a buyer&#x27;s survey instead of derailing a sale.
- No repeat visits, no repeat spendOne correctly specified job beats three cheap patch-ups, and costs less across five years.

How it runs

- 03

### Written estimate
You receive a clear specification and a fixed price in writing. No day rates creeping upwards, no vague allowances.

### Work completed and signed off

### Excellent, Reliable, Good customer service!!
We had our roof done a couple of months ago by Intell, which looks so good and durable. Not only that, when Jimmy initially came to have a look to provide a quote we needed other renovation works alongside the roofing, he provided a competitive quote : new roof, remove old artec wallpaper from whole house, replaster walls, damp proof downstairs, paint outside of the house back and front, refresh stairs to loft. Once Glenn and Grant start, they keep going until finished morning until evening, prompt, reliable and Freindly. Very good customer service. We at now using them to do more works.Verified reviewerJob location: ME410

Straight answers

## Questions we are asked every week
How quickly can you come out to look at damp?+We work Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm and Saturday mornings, and we aim to book your survey for the next available slot rather than leaving you waiting weeks. Ring the office on 07460 072891 and we will give you a realistic date on the call.

Do you charge for a survey or an estimate?+No. We come out, inspect the property, work out what is actually causing the problem and then send you a written estimate setting out the specification and the price. There is no fee and no obligation to go ahead.

How do I know whether I have rising damp or penetrating damp?+You often cannot tell from the staining alone, which is why so much damp work gets done twice. Rising damp typically shows as a tide mark low down on internal walls with salting in the plaster, while penetrating damp usually tracks a defect above it: a cracked render panel, a failed flashing, a blocked gutter. We diagnose the cause before we quote a cure.

Can a wet cellar really be turned into a usable room?+Yes. Below-ground rooms are made dry either with cementitious tanking bonded to the structure or with a cavity drain membrane system that manages water to a drainage point. Which one suits your cellar depends on the construction and the water pressure, and we will explain the choice in plain terms at the survey.

Do you handle both the roofing and the rendering on the same job?+We do, and it is one of the main reasons customers call us. Damp is very often a roofing or rendering fault rather than a wall fault, so having one company responsible for the roof, the render and the internal repair removes the finger-pointing and gets the property dry in one visit sequence.

Which areas do you cover?+We are based in Chatham and work throughout Medway and the surrounding Kent towns, including Gillingham, Chatham, Strood, Rainham, Maidstone, Sittingbourne and Sheerness.

## Get the cause found and the price fixed
