Properties in Shoreham-by-Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea sits at the mouth of the River Adur, with a historic town centre dating back to Norman times. The housing includes medieval flint buildings around St Mary de Haura church, Georgian and Victorian terraces on the High Street and surrounding lanes, and extensive 1930s development on the surrounding streets. The Shoreham Beach area has a unique character with its distinctive houseboats and beach bungalows.
Common Damp Issues in Shoreham-by-Sea
Flooding and ground moisture are significant concerns in Shoreham, given its riverside and coastal location. Properties near the River Adur and in the lower-lying areas face elevated water tables that drive rising damp. The flint-built historic buildings suffer from penetrating damp through deteriorating mortar joints. The beach-side properties face extreme coastal exposure, with salt damage and weather erosion a constant challenge.
