What Affects the Cost?

Damp proof treatment costs in Lancing depend on several key factors: the type of damp (rising, penetrating, or condensation), affected wall length and height, property age and construction method, extent of existing damage to plaster and finishes, accessibility for treatment, and whether remedial work (plastering, tanking) is required. South Coast proximity means humidity levels are often higher, increasing treatment complexity. Older period properties may need specialist approaches, whilst modern construction often requires simpler solutions.

Money-Saving Tips

Get multiple specialist quotes to compare treatment methods and costs. Act quickly when damp appears—early intervention prevents costly structural damage and reduces treatment extent. Check if your surveyor can recommend cost-effective solutions (ventilation improvements, guttering repairs) before committing to full chemical injection, which may not always be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I always need chemical damp proof course treatment?

Not necessarily. Many damp issues can be resolved through improved ventilation, guttering repair, or external waterproofing. A qualified surveyor will diagnose the root cause and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Chemical injection is typically used for rising damp when the original DPC has failed.

How long does damp proof treatment take?

A straightforward chemical injection treatment typically takes 1-3 days depending on wall length. Tanking or full remedial work (plastering, decoration) can take 2-4 weeks. Your specialist will provide a timeline during the survey.

Will treatment be guaranteed?

Yes—reputable damp proof specialists typically offer 10-25 year guarantees on chemical injection and tanking work. Always ask for a written warranty and what it covers (labour, materials, decoration). Some guarantees are transferable to future property owners.

Can I claim costs on home insurance or building insurance?

Structural damp damage may be covered under home insurance, but preventative treatment usually isn't. Contact your insurer first. Some policies cover emergency damp remediation. Building insurance for landlords sometimes covers structural issues—check your policy details with your provider.
