Leak to dry to treated, one company in Worthing
Worthing's housing stock runs from bay-fronted Edwardian terraces in Heene and Broadwater to 1930s semis in Durrington and post-war estates around Salvington and Northbrook. Solid brick walls with no cavity, single-glazed sash windows and poorly ventilated bathrooms retrofitted into small bedrooms all trap moisture, while seafront exposure to salt-laden coastal air makes render and pointing more prone to letting damp track inward.

Common causes of mould in Worthing homes
Bay windows and sash frames in Edwardian terraces
Streets in Heene and Broadwater are lined with Edwardian bay-fronted terraces where original sash windows have swollen, warped or lost their seals over the decades. Condensation streams down the glass on cold mornings and collects in the timber reveals, feeding black mould in the corners and along the sills. Behind curtains and blinds airflow is cut off completely, so spores establish in reveals long before residents notice a problem.
Solid-wall damp in older Worthing homes
Many pre-1930s properties around Tarring and West Tarring have solid brick walls with no cavity to stop moisture migrating through. Where external pointing has failed or render has cracked in the salt air, penetrating damp works inward and shows as mould patches on internal plaster, often near chimney breasts or ground-floor corners. Painting over these patches without addressing the failed brickwork outside means the mould reliably returns within a season.
Under-ventilated bathrooms in converted and extended properties
Loft conversions and rear extensions common in Durrington, Salvington and Findon Valley have added ensuites and family bathrooms that often rely on undersized extractor fans or none at all. Steam has nowhere to go, settling on cold ceiling corners and behind bath panels where it is rarely checked. Left unresolved, mould spreads from the ceiling down tiled walls and into adjoining bedroom walls through shared cavities.
