Properties in Newhaven
Newhaven is a port town at the mouth of the River Ouse, east of Brighton. The housing includes Victorian terraces in the town centre, inter-war council housing on the Denton estate, and post-war development on the surrounding hills. The riverside location and harbour environment create specific damp challenges for many properties.
Common Damp Issues in Newhaven
Rising damp is common in the Victorian terraces, which were built without effective DPCs. Properties in the lower-lying areas near the river face elevated ground moisture and flood risk. Penetrating damp from deteriorating render and pointing affects properties across all eras. The harbour environment introduces salt and moisture that accelerate deterioration of external finishes.

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.
