Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hove
Hove's housing runs from Regency squares and tall Victorian terraces converted into flats around Brunswick Town and Cliftonville to 1930s semis in Hangleton and West Blatchington. Solid brick walls, basement conversions, sash windows and flat-roofed extensions all struggle to manage moisture, leaving many homes prone to condensation, penetrating damp and recurring black mould.

Common causes of mould in Hove homes
Basement and lower-ground-floor flat conversions
Many Brunswick Town and Cliftonville terraces were split into flats with a lower-ground or basement unit. These sit below or close to street level, where penetrating damp through solid walls and old tanking is common. Black mould develops on bedroom walls, behind wardrobes and along skirting, often mistaken for simple condensation when the real cause is groundwater ingress.
Solid-wall Victorian and Edwardian terraces
Streets around Poets Corner and Goldsmid have solid brick walls with no cavity insulation, plus original or poorly fitted sash windows. Without adequate ventilation, warm moist air condenses on cold external walls and window reveals, producing black mould around frames, in corners of bedrooms and on north-facing ceilings, particularly through autumn and winter months.
1930s semis with flat-roof extensions
Hangleton and West Blatchington's inter-war semis often have later flat-roofed bathroom or kitchen extensions where roofing felt degrades and allows slow water ingress. Combined with limited bathroom extraction, this produces mould on ceilings and around extension junctions, and damp patches that reappear after redecoration unless the roof covering and ventilation are properly addressed.

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.
