Expert Damp Proofing in Eastbourne

Eastbourne's coastal position on the English Channel means properties are exposed to sea salt air and high humidity levels, particularly in areas like the seafront, South End, and Old Town. Many Victorian and Edwardian homes were built without modern damp proof courses. The town also experiences significant rainfall, and properties in areas like Willingdon and Stone Cross can be affected by rising damp due to the local geology.

Costs vary depending on the type and extent of damp. A basic damp survey in Eastbourne typically costs between £150-£250. Rising damp treatment for a typical Victorian terrace might range from £800-£2,500, while comprehensive solutions for severe problems can vary.
