Damp Proofing in Chichester

Chichester is a cathedral city of unusual architectural depth, laid out on its Roman street plan within surviving Roman walls. The four main streets and the elegant Pallants quarter are lined with some of the finest Georgian townhouses in Sussex — tall, solid-walled brick houses, many with basements, cellars, and grand period interiors, a good number of them listed. Around and beyond the walls the city has medieval survivals, flint-built cottages and boundary walls characteristic of the coastal plain, Victorian and Edwardian terraces, and the usual spread of inter-war and post-war suburban housing. The city sits on the flat, low-lying coastal plain between the South Downs and Chichester Harbour, where the water table is naturally high.

Chichester lies at the western edge of our service area, around thirty miles west of Brighton, and its dense concentration of listed buildings within the Roman walls means damp work here regularly calls for heritage expertise — breathable lime materials, careful diagnosis, and methods sympathetic to historic and protected fabric. We bring the same standard of experienced surveying and guaranteed treatment to Chichester that we provide across Sussex, whether that is basement waterproofing for a Georgian townhouse or replastering a flint cottage. Surveys start from £95 plus VAT, and as a Biokil-approved contractor with over 40 years' experience, all our treatments are backed by a 30-year guarantee.
