About Brighton Damp Proofers
Sussex's trusted damp proofing and timber preservation specialists.
Our Story
Brighton Damp Proofers is a family-run business with deep roots in the Sussex community. What started as a passion for protecting homes from the effects of damp has grown into one of the region's most trusted damp proofing and timber preservation companies. We're proud to call Sussex home, and we treat every property we work on as if it were our own.
With over 40 years of combined experience across our team, we've seen just about every damp problem that Sussex homes can throw at us. From the Regency terraces of Brighton and Hove to period cottages in the South Downs, we understand how the local climate and building styles create unique challenges. That experience means we can diagnose problems quickly and recommend the right solution the first time.
We believe in honest assessments, not upselling. If your property has a condensation issue that can be solved with better ventilation, we'll tell you that rather than recommending unnecessary damp proofing work. Our reputation has been built on giving straightforward advice and delivering quality workmanship that lasts. That's why so much of our work comes through word-of-mouth recommendations from satisfied homeowners.
As a Biokil-approved contractor and proud Checkatrade members, we hold ourselves to the highest industry standards. Every job we carry out is backed by a 30-year guarantee, giving you complete peace of mind. We're your local damp experts who genuinely care about your home and want to see it protected for years to come.
