Properties in Hangleton
Hangleton is a large suburban estate on the western edge of Hove, developed primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. The housing is predominantly semi-detached and terraced houses with some bungalows, built in traditional cavity-wall brick with tile roofs. The estate also includes some blocks of flats and maisonettes, and the original Hangleton village around the medieval church has a handful of older period properties.
Common Damp Issues in Hangleton
Condensation and mould are the primary concerns in Hangleton, where the post-war construction — while generally sound — often lacks modern levels of insulation and ventilation. Many properties have had their original ventilation points sealed during improvements, creating conditions where moisture builds up indoors. We frequently install PIV (positive input ventilation) systems to resolve these issues.
Penetrating damp from aging window seals, cracked render, and deteriorating pointing is also common, particularly on the exposed western elevations. Flat roof failures on extensions and garages are another frequent source of water ingress.
Our Experience in Hangleton
Hangleton is a large, family-oriented estate with its own shops, schools, and community centre. The area is close to the South Downs and Hove Park, making it popular with families. Properties here are generally well-maintained and affordable, but the post-war construction means that damp issues — particularly condensation — are a common concern. We provide practical, cost-effective solutions tailored to the specific construction type.
