Expert Damp Proofing in Hastings

Hastings' coastal position on the English Channel means properties are exposed to sea salt air and high humidity levels. Many Victorian and Edwardian homes in areas like the Old Town, St Leonards, and Alexandra Park were built without modern damp proof courses. The town also has many cliff-top properties that can be affected by ground moisture and erosion. Properties in areas like Conquest and Silverhill can be particularly vulnerable.

Costs vary depending on the type and extent of damp. A basic damp survey in Hastings 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.
