Leak to dry to treated, one company in Shoreham
Shoreham-by-Sea's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the harbour and seafront to 1930s bay-fronted semis, riverside houseboats on the Adur, and newer flats at Ropetackle and Buckingham Park. Solid brick walls, salt-laden coastal air and tightly sealed modern windows combine to trap moisture, encouraging condensation and black mould in bedrooms, bathrooms and behind furniture.

Common causes of mould in Shoreham homes
Penetrating damp in seafront and harbourside terraces
Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the High Street and harbour have solid brick walls with no cavity, offering little resistance to driving rain and salt-laden sea air. Moisture pushes through external walls, especially on elevations facing the Channel, leading to damp patches and black mould on chimney breasts, external walls and furniture pressed against them in older Shoreham homes.
Condensation mould in 1930s semis and bay-fronted houses
The borough's plentiful 1930s semis often have single-skin bay windows, shallow lofts and cavity walls prone to cold bridging. Once fitted with modern double glazing, these homes lose natural draughts, so cooking, bathing and drying washing raise indoor humidity with nowhere to escape. The result is recurring black mould around window reveals, in bedroom corners and on north-facing walls through Shoreham's damp winters.
Trapped moisture in riverside flats and houseboats
Newer developments such as Ropetackle and Buckingham Park, alongside the houseboats moored along the River Adur, sit close to water and can suffer from limited cross-ventilation or compact bathrooms without adequate extraction. Persistent humidity from the riverside setting encourages condensation on cold surfaces, leaving black mould in shower rooms, cupboards and behind wardrobes if the moisture source is not identified and resolved.

Jensen B, via Google
I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.
