Leak to dry to treated, one company in Shoreham

Shoreham-by-Sea mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the town centre with 1930s semis, shingle-built bungalows on Shoreham Beach, and houseboats along the River Adur. Solid brick walls, concrete beach plots and the tidal estuary combine to make leaks and flooding harder to dry, with moisture often lingering in old lime plaster and low-lying floors.

Drying challenges in Shoreham homes

Solid brick walls and lime plaster in older terraces

Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the High Street and Kingston Buci have solid brick walls with little cavity, so leaks soak straight into lime plaster and brickwork rather than draining away. Where plaster has been patched with modern gypsum over the years, moisture becomes trapped behind it, prolonging drying times and leaving damp patches that can reappear weeks after the original leak.

Shoreham Beach bungalows on solid concrete floors

The chalets and bungalows on Shoreham Beach are typically built on solid concrete slabs close to shingle ground, which readily draws up moisture after a burst pipe or storm flooding. With no underfloor void to ventilate, saturated screed and skirting can take far longer to dry out, and standing water often has nowhere to go until it is actively extracted.

Riverside flood risk along the Adur

Properties near the River Adur and Shoreham Harbour face genuine tidal and surface water flood risk, pushing water into subfloor voids, timber joists and stud walls in older housing stock. Enclosed cavities and suspended timber floors common in this part of town can hold moisture out of sight, creating ideal conditions for mould to establish before it becomes visible.

What our customers say

★★★★★

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.

★★★★★

Clearly communication, easy to deal with and responsive. We would thoroughly recommend. The report was really detailed making our buying negotiations a lot stronger and leaving us with a clear plan of action with possible timeframes.

Was lovely working with the team and they did a fantastic and quick job to get all the mould out of my bathroom. Very much looking forward to working with them on other projects around my house!! Thank you for everything and shout out to Karim for being so sweet!

Tip: Painting or plastering over a wall that is still wet inside traps the moisture and the mould comes back. Drying to a measured moisture target first means the repair lasts.

Frequently asked questions

How long does structural drying take in Shoreham?
Most domestic drying takes one to three weeks depending on how wet the structure is and the materials. We monitor moisture levels and confirm when it is genuinely dry.
Can I hire dehumidifiers from you?
Yes. We supply, install and monitor commercial dehumidifiers and air movers, hired by the day or week for as long as the drying takes.
Will you find the leak that caused it?
Yes. We can trace the source with non-destructive leak detection first, so you are not drying out a property that is still getting wet.
Do you provide reports for insurance claims?
Yes. Drying comes with moisture logs and a written report formatted for insurers and managing agents.
