Damp, mould & leak services in West Ealing
West Ealing's housing stock is dominated by late-Victorian and Edwardian terraces and bay-fronted semis, many converted into flats, alongside 1930s inter-war semis around Argyle Road and postwar infill near Green Man Lane. Original slate roofs, solid brick walls and ageing rainwater goods, combined with poorly reversed loft and bathroom conversions, make penetrating damp, condensation and plumbing leaks recurring problems.

Common damp problems in West Ealing homes
Converted Victorian terraces and rising damp
Many Victorian terraces around Drayton Green and Leeland Road were split into flats decades ago, often burying original hearths and airbricks under new floors. Combined with solid walls lacking cavity insulation and failed or bridged damp-proof courses, this traps moisture at ground level, producing rising damp, crumbling plaster and musty smells in ground-floor flats.
Bay windows and parapet gutters on Edwardian semis
The bay-fronted Edwardian semis near Castlebar and Elthorne Park feature decorative parapets and hidden valley gutters that are prone to blockage from leaf litter and poor maintenance. When these overflow, water tracks down internal walls unnoticed for months, causing hidden timber decay and mould blooms around bay window reveals and first-floor ceilings.
1930s semis and inter-war cavity wall failures
The 1930s semi-detached houses around Argyle Road and Northfield Avenue were built with early cavity walls that often lack effective insulation and can suffer wall tie corrosion or debris bridging the cavity. This lets damp penetrate through external walls, while poorly ventilated 1930s bathrooms and kitchens frequently show condensation mould on colder external walls and window reveals.

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.
