Properties in Lancing
Lancing is a coastal town between Shoreham and Worthing, dominated by the dramatic Lancing College chapel on the hillside. Housing is predominantly inter-war and post-war — semi-detached houses, bungalows, and some terraces. The beach area has distinctive 1930s properties, while North Lancing extends up the Adur valley with more modern development.
Common Damp Issues in Lancing
Penetrating damp from cracked render and aging external finishes is the most common issue in Lancing's inter-war housing. Coastal exposure accelerates deterioration of these finishes. Condensation in bungalows and properties with poor ventilation is also prevalent. Properties near the River Adur and the beach face elevated ground moisture levels.
Our Experience in Lancing
Lancing is about 8 miles west of Brighton, easily accessible along the coast road or by train. We serve the area regularly as part of our wider Sussex coverage, providing damp surveys and treatment work for homeowners and landlords.
What Lancing Customers Say
We had persistent damp patches on the bedroom wall that turned out to be penetrating damp from cracked render. They repaired the render, replaced the damaged plaster inside, and the wall has been bone dry ever since. Very fair pricing too.
Had the whole front of our house re-rendered after the old cement render was trapping moisture and causing damp inside. The new lime render looks fantastic and the internal damp has completely gone. The team were tidy and professional every day.
As a letting agent, I need contractors I can trust to do the job properly the first time. Brighton Damp Proofers have handled timber treatment across three of my managed properties — dealing with woodworm in roof timbers and a wet rot issue in a ground floor bay window. Every job has been completed on time, on budget, and to a high standard.
