The UK’s principal culprit of timber issues is humidity. This can lead to the growth of mould and damp on ceilings, walls and floors connected to these structures.
Buildings can experience rising damp for many reasons. The existing DPC may be ineffective, often due to the outside ground levels going up and bridging the original DPC; in older homes, there may not even be a DPC.
Brighton Damp Treatments adhere to British Standard BS6576:2005 and the Property Care Association’s Code of Practice for all rising damp treatments, including any replastering that may be necessary.
Condensation is a key factor in environmental moisture and mould in both old and new properties, affecting many of them. Particularly prevalent in poorly heated and ventilated homes, it usually worsens during the winter months (known as ‘the condensation season’). The installation of a balanced heating/ventilation system can help to reduce condensation levels.
Brighton Damp Treatments offer a comprehensive array of condensation advice and solutions, from modern vent installation to condensation control units and heat recovery unit installation. We have a wide selection of dehumidifiers ready for purchase, delivery and installation by our experts. For additional help, please contact us on 01273 920588 and one of our surveyors will be delighted to come out and carry out an extensive assessment. Following this inspection you’ll receive guidance as to how best deal with the condensation issue along with cost-analysis of potential solutions.
Whenever moisture is present, the adjacent wood will become vulnerable to deterioration. It is thus essential to identify damp spots and address any issues swiftly in order to prevent considerable structural harm.
Different species of spores are employed in instances of dry rot; these differ from wet rot in terms of appearance. Dry rot can spread with a minimum amount of water, whereas wet rot needs high levels of moisture to proliferate and tends to be more far-reaching due to its use of capillaries within the wood rather than mycelium, which characterises dry rot infestations. The latter is particularly destructive and spreads quickly throughout a home even if damp or wet rot has already been treated. In contrast, damp fungus occurs when timber remains moist for extended periods.
Timber decay is not only caused by wood rot. Many species of wood-boring beetles can infest timbers, yet the two most common and active are the Common Furniture Beetle (Anobium punctatum) – usually found in softwood – and the Death Watch Beetle (Xestobium rufovillosum), which often attacks hardwood, especially in older buildings. If you’re based in Brighton and have an aged structure that needs rescuing from wet rot, dry rot or woodworm, then Brighton Damp Treatments can help: give us a call on 01273 920588 or contact us for more information.
Property owners must take care to protect against wet or dry rot, as it can be a dangerous and costly problem. Wet rot is an alteration of wood which leads to weakening, cracking, softening and porosity. It progresses quickly and requires specialised treatment for removal. Dry rot is even more serious as it involves fungal infection that may destroy structural timbers while posing health risks. Appropriate measures must be taken to ensure protection from either type of rot.
A deficient subfloor ventilation, moist walls, and condensation caused by the spilling of water from sinks, baths, showers, piping systems, guttering or neglected roofs/external walls can all lead to wet and dry rot.

Various forms of wet rot (Coniophora putteana being the most frequent) or more far-reaching and harmful dry rot can harm structural timber floor joists, joinery, window frames and doorframes (Serpula lacrymans being the worst offender). These wood-rotting fungi are commonly found in areas with limited subfloor ventilation, plumbing leaks, water spillage or flooding; they may also arise from rising damp. If permitted to occur and expand, these wood-rotting fungi can cause great damage to your property. Brighton Damp Treatments offer repairs, strengthening works & treatments as well as preservation services.
