Properties in Steyning
Steyning is a picturesque Sussex village at the foot of the South Downs, with a High Street lined with medieval, Tudor, and Georgian buildings. The housing includes timber-framed cottages, flint-built houses, and period terraces in the village core, with inter-war and modern development on the edges. The village conservation area includes many listed buildings.
Common Damp Issues in Steyning
Rising damp and penetrating damp through flint walls and lime mortar are the primary issues in Steyning's older properties. The timber-framed buildings may have timber decay that has developed over centuries. The village's position at the base of the Downs means ground moisture levels can be high, particularly in winter when rainwater runs off the chalk hillsides.
Our Experience in Steyning
Steyning is a popular village about 10 miles north-west of Brighton, known for its history and independent shops. Working on the village's historic buildings requires sensitivity to heritage and conservation requirements. We use traditional lime-based materials and heritage-appropriate methods for the older properties.

What Steyning Customers Say
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.
