Properties in London Road
London Road is one of Brighton's main arterial routes, running north from Preston Circus towards Preston Park. The streets off London Road — including Viaduct Road, Providence Place, and Baker Street — contain a mix of Victorian terraces, purpose-built flats, and converted houses. Many properties in this area are rented, with a significant number of HMOs and multi-let buildings.
Common Damp Issues in London Road
Condensation and mould are the dominant issues in the London Road area, driven by the high proportion of rented and shared accommodation. Multiple occupants in properties designed for single families generate high levels of moisture from cooking, showering, and drying clothes indoors, while inadequate ventilation and single glazing prevent this moisture from escaping.
Rising damp is also common in the Victorian terraces, and we frequently see properties where landlords have attempted to deal with damp by painting over it or applying damp-proof paint — surface treatments that do nothing to address the underlying cause and often make the situation worse by trapping moisture within the wall.

What London Road Customers Say
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.
