Reliable Building Contractors
Serving Littlehampton

Builders Who Know Littlehampton Inside Out

Littlehampton sits at the mouth of the River Arun, where the challenges of coastal and riverine environments converge. Masters Group has extensive experience building and renovating properties in this unique setting, understanding the specific moisture management, foundation, and material requirements that Littlehampton homes demand.

From the Victorian terraces near the seafront to the newer developments around North Littlehampton and the established family homes of Wick, we have worked across the town's diverse housing stock. Our familiarity with Arun District Council's planning requirements ensures your project moves through the approvals process efficiently.

Our Brighton base is approximately 25 minutes from Littlehampton along the A259 and A27, providing fast response times without the premium costs of a London-based contractor. We keep our logistics tight and our overheads low — savings we pass directly to you.

Littlehampton's ongoing regeneration — particularly around the harbour and town centre — has created opportunities for both residential and commercial construction. Whether you are extending a family home, converting a property, or developing a commercial site, Masters Group has the skills and capacity to deliver.

Building Challenges in Littlehampton

Littlehampton's position at the Arun estuary creates a dual exposure — coastal weather from the south and flood risk from the river. Properties in the flood plain require specific foundation designs, raised floor levels, and flood-resilient construction details. We design all groundworks in accordance with Environment Agency flood maps and local authority requirements.

The town's older housing stock — particularly the Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the seafront — was built using solid-wall construction methods that offer poor thermal performance by modern standards. Renovating these properties requires careful insulation strategies that manage moisture transfer correctly.

Salt corrosion affects metalwork, external render, and timber on seafront properties. Standard galvanised fixings are insufficient within 500 metres of the coast — stainless steel or marine-grade alternatives are essential for durability.

Ground conditions in parts of Littlehampton include alluvial deposits near the river, which can be compressible and waterlogged. Foundation design must account for these conditions to prevent differential settlement and structural movement.

The recent expansion of North Littlehampton has brought new housing closer to the A259 corridor, creating demand for extensions and improvements to relatively new-build properties. Even these newer homes often benefit from additional space — and we ensure any extension matches the existing build quality and materials.
