Medway Timber and Damp

Awful company. 'Diagnosed' the damp issue spending hardly any time on the matter, concluded it was 'rising damp'. Came in, did the works. The damp has now got worse and settled around the areas they treated. We brought them back in to ask why this has happened, and he said he didn't know, but would be happy quote for a fix! You couldn't make it up. The salesmen (which is what he is, not a damp expert) was no where near as enthusiastic the second time around.

Thirty years' experience in the business, and it shows. A no bullshit, highly experienced firm who are surveyors, not salesmen.
I saw a gentleman called Mark who gave me solid advice, didn't try to sell me anything (least not a ridiculously unnecessary expensive fan like Holland Damp Proofing tried to do), isolated two distinct problems and two specific types of damp and told me how to fix them, straightforwardly, and with realistic expectations of costs no rip-off inflation of prices and teeth sucking here.
Some sorts of damp, they charge a consultation fee for, but others they do not. They are completely trustworthy and incredibly knowledgeable. They would absolutely be my go-to choice for anyone with a problem with damp in Kent, and the South East London area. If you can convince them to travel further afield, then do so.
(For the record, if you do require a fan solution, it should set you back around £250, not £1,200.)
Highly recommended.
