Damp, mould & leak services in Crawley
Crawley's housing stock ranges from post-war New Town properties built rapidly from the late 1940s onwards to 1970s and 1980s social housing estates across Broadfield and Bewbush, alongside newer private developments in Maidenbower. This mix of ages and construction methods creates persistent vulnerabilities to damp ingress, condensation and concealed leaks throughout the town.

Common damp problems in Crawley homes
Condensation and Mould in New Town Concrete Properties
Many of Crawley's original New Town homes in areas such as Northgate, West Green and Gossops Green were constructed using non-traditional concrete panel or prefabricated methods. These materials have low thermal mass and poor breathability by modern standards, leading to chronic condensation on internal walls and persistent black mould growth in bedrooms, kitchens and bathroom ceilings where ventilation remains inadequate.
Penetrating Damp in Ifield and Copthorne Period Properties
Older properties in Ifield village and the Copthorne and Worth fringes include Victorian and Edwardian brick terraces and semi-detached houses with solid external walls. Without a cavity, rainwater can track directly through aged or eroded mortar joints, causing penetrating damp on internal wall surfaces. Deteriorated chimney stacks, failing pointing and blocked guttering are frequent culprits identified during surveys in these older streets.
Hidden Plumbing Leaks in 1970s and 1980s Estates
Estates built across Broadfield, Bewbush and Langley Green during the 1970s and 1980s contain ageing copper and early plastic pipework that is now reaching the end of its serviceable life. Slow leaks frequently develop within floor voids, behind stud partitions and beneath kitchen units, remaining undetected for months. The resulting hidden moisture leads to subfloor rot, damaged plasterboard and elevated mould spore counts affecting indoor air quality.
What our customers say
Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
