Leak to dry to treated, one company in Shoreham By Sea
Shoreham-by-Sea's housing runs from solid-wall Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the High Street to timber-framed bungalows and chalets on Shoreham Beach, plus 1930s semis in Mill Hill and Kingston Buci and newer flats at Ropetackle. Salt-laden sea air, flint and brick construction without cavity insulation, and a high water table near the River Adur all push moisture into walls, making black mould a recurring problem.

Common causes of mould in Shoreham By Sea homes
Rising and penetrating damp in town centre terraces
Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the High Street and Brunswick Road were built without a working damp proof course. Groundwater rises through solid brick walls, while worn pointing and old roof flashings let rain penetrate directly. The result is black mould spreading across chimney breasts, skirting boards and ceiling corners, often mistaken for simple condensation until the plaster begins to blow.
Salt air and condensation on Shoreham Beach
The bungalows, chalets and houseboats along Shoreham Beach sit exposed to constant onshore wind and salt-laden moisture. Timber frames and single-glazed windows struggle to keep pace, so warm indoor air condenses on cold surfaces overnight. Bedrooms and window reveals develop persistent black speckling, and salt-damp plaster can keep reappearing even after a wall has been wiped clean and redecorated.
Trapped moisture in converted flats and behind furniture
Converted properties and newer flats around Ropetackle and Adur Ferry Village often have limited through-ventilation, with bathrooms and kitchens venting poorly into shared corridors. Steam and cooking moisture linger, settling behind wardrobes, sofas and beds pushed against external walls. Left untreated, this builds into dense black mould colonies that keep returning until airflow and the underlying moisture source are properly addressed.
