Properties in Hollingdean
Hollingdean sits in a valley between the Lewes Road and Ditchling Road, north of the city centre. The housing is a mix of late-Victorian terraces on the older streets, inter-war council housing, and post-war developments including the Hollingdean estate. The terraces along Hollingdean Road and the surrounding streets are solid-wall construction similar to those found across Brighton, while the later housing includes both brick-built semis and some concrete-frame construction.
Common Damp Issues in Hollingdean
Rising damp in the Victorian terraces is the most common issue, with the usual pattern of failed or absent DPCs and damp climbing the internal walls. In the later housing stock, condensation and mould are more prevalent — the inter-war and post-war buildings often have solid concrete floors and dense masonry that acts as a cold bridge, promoting condensation on internal surfaces during winter.
We also treat a number of properties with penetrating damp caused by defective rainwater goods — blocked gutters, cracked downpipes, and failed flashing around chimney stacks allowing water to enter the building fabric.
