Properties in Moulsecoomb
Moulsecoomb is a largely residential area north-east of Brighton city centre, close to the University of Brighton campus. The housing stock is predominantly inter-war council estates — semi-detached and terraced houses built in the 1920s-1930s with cavity walls and tile roofs. Some streets also contain post-war housing and more recent infill developments.
Common Damp Issues in Moulsecoomb
Condensation and mould are the most common problems, particularly in properties near the university that are rented to students. High occupancy, limited ventilation, and the practice of drying clothes indoors create conditions where mould thrives. We frequently install positive input ventilation (PIV) systems to resolve persistent condensation issues.
The inter-war properties also suffer from penetrating damp where render has cracked or pointing has deteriorated, and from sub-floor damp where air bricks have been blocked or ground levels raised. We regularly treat these issues with a combination of external repairs and internal damp-proofing.
