Properties in Haywards Heath
Haywards Heath is a mid-Sussex town that grew rapidly with the arrival of the railway in 1841. The housing includes Victorian and Edwardian properties near the station and in the older parts of town, extensive 1930s development in the surrounding suburbs, and modern estates on the outskirts. The Wealden clay soil in the area creates specific ground moisture challenges for older properties.
Common Damp Issues in Haywards Heath
Rising damp is common in the Victorian and Edwardian properties, where the clay soil retains moisture and creates sustained ground dampness against foundations. The clay soil also expands and contracts with changing moisture levels, which can crack DPCs and render, creating pathways for water ingress. Condensation in the inter-war and post-war housing is prevalent, particularly in properties that have been double-glazed without considering the impact on ventilation.
