Leak to dry to treated, one company in Borough Green
Borough Green's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the High Street and station to 1930s semis, postwar estates around Quarry Hill Road and newer infill developments off Wrotham Road. The older brick terraces often lack cavity insulation and damp-proof courses, while surrounding villages like Platt and Ightham add timber-framed and part-tile-hung cottages, all prone to trapped moisture and mould without proper ventilation.

Common causes of mould in Borough Green homes
Solid-Walled Victorian Terraces Near the Station
The rows of Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Borough Green station and the High Street were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so they rely on breathable finishes to manage moisture. Modern cement renders, gloss paints or gypsum plasters applied over the years trap dampness inside the wall, pushing it out as black mould on chimney breasts, external corners and behind wardrobes pushed against cold walls.
1930s Semis and Postwar Estates With Poor Ventilation
Many of the 1930s semis and postwar estate homes around Quarry Hill Road and Wrotham Road were built with small, single-glazed windows and minimal extraction, later fitted with uPVC replacements that sealed the property tighter without adding ventilation. Bathrooms and box bedrooms in these houses regularly develop condensation mould on ceilings and around window reveals, especially where trickle vents have been painted shut or removed.
Timber-Framed and Tile-Hung Cottages in Surrounding Villages
Ightham, Platt and Plaxtol include older timber-framed and part tile-hung cottages where past roof or gutter leaks have soaked into lath and plaster or exposed brickwork, leaving damp pockets that feed mould long after the original leak is fixed. These properties often show mould behind fitted furniture and in north-facing bedrooms, where solid walls stay cold and slow-drying repairs allow spores to establish before the moisture source is properly traced and closed off.

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.
