Properties in Chichester
Chichester is a cathedral city with a rich architectural heritage — Roman walls, medieval and Georgian buildings in the city centre, and extensive Victorian and later development beyond the walls. The city's housing stock includes some of the finest Georgian townhouses in Sussex, many with basements and original features. The suburban areas have the typical mix of inter-war and post-war housing found across West Sussex.
Common Damp Issues in Chichester
Rising damp in the older properties within the city walls is the most common issue, driven by the high water table in the low-lying coastal plain. Basement damp affects the Georgian townhouses, and timber decay is prevalent in the oldest buildings. The flint-built properties characteristic of the area suffer from penetrating damp when mortar joints deteriorate.
Our Experience in Chichester
Chichester is at the western edge of our service area, about 30 miles west of Brighton. The city's architectural significance — including many listed buildings within the Roman walls — means that damp treatment work often requires heritage expertise. We provide the same standard of PCA-certified surveying and treatment in Chichester as throughout our service area.
