    Podcast: Residents in Ashford say new build Persimmon homes at Repton Park are riddled with damp and mould

    Podcast: Residents in Ashford say new build Persimmon homes at Repton Park are riddled with damp and mould

    There's been severe travel disruption in Kent after heavy rain caused landslips.

    No trains were able to run from Maidstone East towards Ashford - services were also affected between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings. Hear from one of the bosses at Southeastern.

    Meantime, after all the wind and rain, we're now set for some cold weather across Kent.

    Forecasters say temperatures will remain in single figures over the next few days - and drop below freezing at night. We've been speaking to the deputy director of public health in the county.

    Residents in part of Ashford say they're still fighting for repairs to be carried out after their new build homes were plagued with mould.

    They bought the properties in Repton Avenue in 2018 and immediately noticed a problem with damp. A mum has described what it's been like for her family - we've also got a statement from the developer.

    There are concerns about rubbish being left on the streets of Medway after major disruption to bin collections.

    Some people will have to wait an extra week for their waste to be collected. A councillor has apologised for the disruption.

    There are just a few days left to have a say on plans to try and improve safety for women and girls in west Kent.

    Bosses in Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Tunbridge Wells have joined forces and want to know about parts of the towns where you might feel particularly vulnerable.

    And in sport, Gillingham and Maidstone United are in action in the third round of the FA Cup this weekend.

    We've been catching up with Gills head coach Stephen Clemence and defender Max Ehmer as they welcome premier league opposition to a sold-out Priestfield.

    Whatever Works Episode 200 A Double Century! (03/01/2024)

    The Must Have Documents Needed to Start a Damp Company

    The Must Have Documents Needed to Start a Damp Company

    Sam details all the main official documents and paperwork you will need to start up a damp company. He explains all the regularly used documents including the Acceptance Form, Report Template, The Plan Drawing Graph Template, The Final Invoice and offers tips on payments, deposits and pre payments.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS

    • The Acceptance Form is the template including your terms and conditions, deposit terms, bank details, customer details, contract work details, payment details and totals to be signed by the client.
    • The Report Template is used to present terms and conditions again, important for your legal protection against claims. Certain information must be presented within the first page, such, as name, address, weather conditions, direction facing and clients instructions. The rest of the form is the main section of the report.
    • The Plan Drawing Graph Template shows work required in a simple to read format, with a map of the property denoting where and what type of work is required. Sam now uses an electronic app to produce the graphical representation.
    • The Final Invoice should contain details similar to the acceptance form. Customer name and address, work undertaken, agreed payment inclusive of VAT and your payment, address and VAT reg number.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘Then you get your date and your time , or time window because when younger I tried to give an exact time. Don’t try and do that! Theres not many surveyors now that will use an exact time, you’ll get a window.’

    ‘So when I do my report I just upload this plan that I’ve wrote in my iPad of template and its good to go. Its got our logo on and its got all the information on , all that they need.’

    It’s up to you to do your own due diligence. Ask around, check Companies House maybe. On Companies House you can see what they’ve been earning and stuff like that.’
