Leak to dry to treated, one company in Bloomsbury
Bloomsbury's housing runs from grand Georgian terraces around Russell and Tavistock Squares, now split into flats and university offices, to Victorian mansion blocks and post-war student halls near Brunswick Centre. Solid brick walls, single-glazed sash windows and basement conversions struggle to shed moisture, while shared services and tired plumbing in subdivided buildings make condensation and hidden leaks common triggers for mould.

Common causes of mould in Bloomsbury homes
Condensation in converted Georgian flats
Many Bloomsbury terraces were carved into flats with small kitchens and bathrooms lacking proper extraction. Cooking and showering push moisture into rooms with solid walls and original sash windows, which offer little ventilation and cold surfaces for condensation to settle on. Black mould builds up around window reveals, in corners and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls.
Basement and lower ground floor damp
Bloomsbury has a good number of lower ground and basement flats below Georgian and Victorian houses, some close to original tanking that has aged or failed. Penetrating damp from ground moisture and poor external drainage shows up as mould along skirting boards, under stairs and behind furniture, often worsening after heavy rain when nearby pavements and light wells hold water.
Leaks in mansion blocks and student housing
The area's mansion blocks and university halls share pipework, roofs and heating risers between multiple flats, so a leak in one unit or communal area often surfaces as mould elsewhere before the source is traced. Ceiling staining in bedrooms and mould creeping down party walls are common signs of a slow leak that has gone unnoticed behind fixed panelling or shared service ducts.
What our customers say
Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
