Properties in Southwick
Southwick is a small town between Portslade and Shoreham, with a mix of Victorian terraces around the old village green, inter-war housing on the surrounding streets, and post-war development further out. The variety of housing means we encounter a range of damp issues typical of each era of construction.
Common Damp Issues in Southwick
Rising damp in the Victorian terraces, penetrating damp in the inter-war housing (particularly where render has failed), and condensation in the post-war properties are the most common issues. Some properties near the harbour area have elevated ground moisture due to the proximity to the River Adur.

What Southwick 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.
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.
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.
