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.

What Shoreham-by-Sea 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 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.
