Properties in Burgess Hill
Burgess Hill is a growing mid-Sussex town with a mix of housing from Victorian terraces in the old centre to extensive modern development on the edges. The town has expanded significantly since the 1960s, with large estates of houses and flats built across several decades. The older properties in the town centre and along the London Road are typically Victorian or Edwardian, while the newer estates represent the full range of post-war construction types.
Common Damp Issues in Burgess Hill
Rising damp in the older properties, condensation in the newer housing (particularly where ventilation is inadequate), and penetrating damp from failing render and window seals are the most common issues. The Wealden clay geology creates elevated ground moisture levels that can drive rising damp in properties without effective DPCs. New-build properties sometimes have snagging-related damp issues, particularly around poorly sealed windows and at junctions between different materials.

We had a terrible condensation and mould problem in our Victorian terrace. The team identified the ventilation issues, installed a PIV unit and new extractor fans, and the mould has not returned since. Really knowledgeable and professional throughout.
Had a full damp survey done before purchasing a period property. The report was incredibly detailed and saved us from a very costly mistake — the property had serious dry rot that the vendor's surveyor had missed entirely. Worth every penny.
Brighton Damp Proofers treated woodworm in our roof timbers and replaced two decayed joists in the ground floor. The work was done efficiently with minimal disruption. The 30-year guarantee gives us real peace of mind.
