Braintree

Located in Essex, just 10 miles northeast of Chelmsford the town of Braintree is home to over 41,000 residents. However, it wasn’t always this up and coming and began life as a very small village situated on the River Brian.

Braintree is a town bursting with history, with a number of the roads coinciding with the names of people who fought for their home turf. One of the most notable is Aetheric Road, named after the Saxon noblemen who died in the Battle of Maldon.

The pretty town has lots of character with quaint old streets. The oldest part of the town is the Bocking End area where some buildings still have exposed wooden beams. You can also find the oldest medieval barns still standing in the UK.

However, it’s not just the buildings and the streets of Braintree that have a story to tell. Past residence include the 17th Century naturist John Ray and Richard Bradley who in 1701 became the first man in the UK to own a crocodile.

We expect wet weather in the UK, but don't tolerate damp in your home or business. Unless you want your paint to peel, your wood or walls to rot and become a structural headache, it's best to safeguard yourself with damp proofing.

Unsightly rising damp, penetrating damp and condensation, on internal walls and ground level basements, are common thorns in homeowners' sides - especially for older properties during the winter months. It's heightened by cold weather and poor ventilation. Worst case, it'll cause permanent damage to plaster and paint finishes, or even affect your immune system and lungs.
