Properties in Ditchling
Ditchling is one of Sussex's most beautiful villages, nestling beneath the South Downs at the foot of Ditchling Beacon. The village has a Norman church, medieval and Tudor buildings along the High Street, and attractive period cottages throughout. Housing ranges from centuries-old timber-framed and flint-built structures to modern homes on the village edges.
Common Damp Issues in Ditchling
The oldest properties in Ditchling predate any form of damp-proof course and suffer from rising damp through their flint and brick walls. Penetrating damp through lime mortar joints and aging thatch or tile roofs is also common. The village sits on clay at the base of the chalk Downs, creating variable ground moisture conditions that challenge older construction methods.
