Properties in Worthing
Worthing is the largest town in West Sussex, with a wide seafront promenade and a mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and modern housing. The seafront area has grand Victorian and Edwardian terraces and hotels, many converted into flats. Behind the seafront, the town centre has a mix of period commercial and residential buildings. The suburban areas — Broadwater, Tarring, and High Salvington — contain predominantly inter-war and post-war housing.
Common Damp Issues in Worthing
Coastal damp affects the seafront properties — penetrating damp from salt damage to render and brickwork, and basement damp in the larger Victorian buildings. Across the town, rising damp in the older terraces and condensation in the inter-war and post-war housing are the most common issues we treat. Timber decay from damp exposure is widespread in the period properties.
