Expert Damp Proofing in Hove

Hove's coastal position near the English Channel means properties are exposed to sea salt air and high humidity levels. Many Victorian and Edwardian homes in areas like Hove Park, Wish Ward, and the Golden Gate area were built without modern damp proof courses. Additionally, the seafront properties face constant exposure to wind-driven rain, making them particularly vulnerable to penetrating damp.

Costs vary depending on the type and extent of damp. A basic damp survey in Hove 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. We always provide free, detailed quotes with no obligation.

Highly recommended. Hove has many older properties, particularly along the seafront and in conservation areas, with potential hidden damp issues. A professional damp survey (typically £150-£300) can save thousands in unexpected repair costs. Many mortgage lenders also require confirmation of damp treatment before completing on period properties.
