Properties in Mile Oak
Mile Oak is a residential estate on the northern edge of Hove, developed in the 1950s and 1960s. Housing is predominantly semi-detached and terraced houses with some bungalows, built in traditional cavity-wall brick construction. The estate sits on a hillside with views towards the South Downs, exposed to weather from the north and west.
Common Damp Issues in Mile Oak
Condensation and mould are the most frequent issues, driven by the combination of solid floors, limited insulation, and sealed-up ventilation in many properties. Penetrating damp from aging render and window seals is also common, particularly on the weather-exposed western elevations.

What Mile Oak Customers Say
Excellent service from start to finish. The surveyor was thorough and explained everything clearly. The rising damp treatment was completed on time and the replastering looks perfect. Highly recommend Brighton Damp Proofers to anyone with damp issues.
We commissioned a full damp survey before buying a Regency townhouse in Brunswick. The report identified penetrating damp through the parapet wall and early-stage dry rot in the basement joists — issues the seller's surveyor had completely overlooked. The detail in the report gave us the leverage to renegotiate the purchase price. Invaluable service for any homebuyer.
Brighton Damp Proofers treated extensive woodworm in the floor joists and replaced a section of decayed timber in our 1930s semi. The team lifted the floorboards carefully, treated everything thoroughly, and left the house spotless. The 30-year guarantee gives us real confidence in the work.
