Arrange an independent damp survey in Shoreham with Dryspaces.
We investigate damp, mould, condensation and moisture problems in homes and properties throughout Shoreham-by-Sea and the surrounding area, using professional testing to help identify possible causes.
Damp and mould can appear for many different reasons, and the visible signs do not always tell you where the moisture is coming from.
Dryspaces provides independent damp surveys in Shoreham-by-Sea, helping homeowners, landlords, tenants, property buyers and sellers gain a clearer understanding of moisture problems within a property.
Our surveys assess conditions throughout the building rather than concentrating only on the area where damp or mould has appeared. We combine moisture readings, air quality testing, thermal imaging in affected rooms and an external visual inspection to build a more complete picture.
We cover properties throughout Shoreham, including Shoreham Beach, Kingston-by-Sea, Southwick, Fishersgate and surrounding parts of the Sussex coast.
Shoreham has a varied mix of properties, from older homes around the town centre to flats, coastal properties around Shoreham Beach and homes extending towards Southwick and Portslade.
Different buildings can experience moisture problems for very different reasons, which is why our surveys consider the overall condition of the property rather than making assumptions based on visible damp alone.
During the survey, moisture readings are taken in all rooms and air quality testing is carried out throughout the property. Thermal imaging is used in rooms affected by damp, helping us gather additional information about conditions within those areas.
We also visually inspect the exterior of the property for defects or conditions that could be contributing to moisture internally.
Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a full independent written report detailing our findings and the possible causes identified.

Our Shoreham damp surveys combine professional testing with a thorough assessment of the property, giving you independent information about the moisture conditions we find.
A damp problem may be visible in one room while conditions elsewhere in the property provide important clues about what is happening.
Our internal survey includes:
By looking at conditions across the property, we can gather more useful information about the possible source of recurring or unexplained moisture.
The condition of the outside of a building can play an important part in understanding moisture problems internally.
As part of the survey, we carry out an external visual inspection and, where relevant and accessible, consider:
This can be particularly important in coastal locations such as Shoreham, where properties may be exposed to different weather conditions depending on their location and construction.
Following your inspection, Dryspaces will provide a full independent written report explaining what was found during the survey.
Your report will include:
The report gives you a clear record of the inspection and information you can use when deciding whether maintenance, repairs or further investigation may be required.
There is rarely one single explanation for every damp or mould problem.
High humidity, condensation and poor ventilation can create conditions where mould develops, while leaks, external defects or water ingress may be responsible for moisture elsewhere in a property.
Sometimes more than one factor is contributing to the problem.
This is particularly important when investigating damp in Shoreham properties because the area contains such a broad range of buildings, including older houses, modern developments, flats and properties close to the coast.
Rather than diagnosing a problem from appearance alone, our surveys use the information gathered from moisture readings, air quality testing, thermal imaging and the wider property inspection.
This approach can help where mould continues to return, damp patches appear without an obvious source or previous attempts to resolve a moisture problem have not worked.
Some moisture problems are immediately noticeable, while others develop gradually.
You may want to arrange a damp survey if you have noticed:
Having the problem investigated can provide useful information before you decide what work, if any, needs to be carried out.
Dryspaces is an independent damp and mould survey company based locally in Worthing and covering Shoreham-by-Sea and the surrounding area.
We investigate and report on the moisture conditions within your property rather than simply recommending treatment based on the visible symptoms.
Our surveys are suitable for homeowners trying to understand an ongoing damp problem, landlords investigating mould within a rental property and buyers who want additional information about moisture concerns before purchasing a home.
Whether the property is in central Shoreham, on Shoreham Beach or towards Southwick, our aim is to provide clear findings and practical information about what we discover.
We carry out independent damp and mould surveys throughout Shoreham-by-Sea and neighbouring areas.

We also cover Worthing and properties throughout wider West Sussex and the surrounding region.
A damp survey costs £175 for a 1–2 bedroom flat and £225 for a 2–3 bedroom house.
For larger properties, please contact us for a price.
Every survey includes internal moisture readings in all rooms, air quality testing in each room, thermal imaging photographs from rooms affected by damp and an external visual inspection.
Following the survey, you will receive a full independent written report explaining our findings and the possible causes identified.
Yes. We survey properties on Shoreham Beach as well as throughout Shoreham-by-Sea and nearby areas including Kingston-by-Sea, Southwick, Fishersgate and Lancing.
Yes. An internal wall probe inspection can be carried out in affected areas for an additional £50.
Onsite salt testing is available for an additional £50, and onsite mould testing is also available for £50.
Yes. Recurring mould can be associated with a range of conditions, including humidity, condensation, ventilation and moisture within the property.
Our survey considers these factors alongside the condition of the building to help investigate what may be contributing to the problem.
Yes. We provide independent damp surveys for property buyers in Shoreham and the surrounding areas.
