Properties in Hurstpierpoint
Hurstpierpoint — known locally as "Hurst" — is an attractive South Downs village with a High Street of period buildings and surrounding residential development from the Victorian era onwards. The village sits on the northern edge of the South Downs, with views across the Weald. Housing includes period cottages, Victorian villas, and modern development.
Common Damp Issues in Hurstpierpoint
Rising damp in the period properties is the most common issue, with the clay soil in the area retaining moisture and driving it into the ground-floor masonry. Penetrating damp through flint and brick walls is also common. The village's position on the Downs means rainwater drains through the chalk and clay, creating variable ground moisture conditions.

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.
