Expert Damp Proofing in Worthing

Worthing's 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 town centre, West Worthing, and Durrington were built without modern damp proof courses. The town also sees significant rainfall, and properties near the seafront are particularly vulnerable to penetrating damp from wind-driven rain.

Costs vary depending on the type and extent of damp. A basic damp survey in Worthing 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. Worthing has many older properties, particularly in the town centre and seafront areas, with potential hidden damp issues. A professional damp survey (typically £150-£300) can save thousands in unexpected repair costs.
