Properties in Horsham
Horsham is a historic market town in West Sussex with a well-preserved medieval core, including the iconic Causeway — a tree-lined avenue of medieval timber-framed and Georgian houses. The wider town has Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas, inter-war development, and extensive modern housing estates. The Wealden clay soil and the town's inland position create different moisture conditions from the coastal areas.
Common Damp Issues in Horsham
Rising damp from the clay soil affects the older properties in the town centre and surrounding streets. Timber decay is a particular concern in the medieval and Tudor buildings, where structural oak timbers may have been slowly absorbing moisture for centuries. The clay soil creates additional challenges — it retains water in winter and shrinks in summer, which can crack foundations and DPCs.
Condensation in the modern housing estates is common, and penetrating damp from aging external finishes affects properties across all eras.
