Properties in Falmer
Falmer is a small downland village on the eastern edge of Brighton, home to the University of Sussex and Brighton's Amex Stadium. The village itself has a handful of historic flint cottages and period houses, while the surrounding area includes university housing and some modern residential development. The chalk downland setting and rural character create a different environment from urban Brighton.
Common Damp Issues in Falmer
The historic flint cottages in Falmer village suffer from rising damp and penetrating damp through deteriorating lime mortar joints, similar to other downland villages. The chalk geology means ground conditions can be very wet in winter, driving moisture into older foundations. Modern properties in the area may have condensation issues if ventilation is inadequate.
Our Experience in Falmer
Falmer sits in a gap in the South Downs between Brighton and Lewes, with the A27 running through. The village is small but its proximity to the university and stadium means there is a mix of permanent residents and student accommodation nearby. We serve Falmer as part of our Brighton service area.
