Leak to dry to treated, one company in Brighton
Brighton's housing runs from Regency terraces and Victorian bay-fronted properties in Hanover and Kemptown to converted seafront flats, student HMOs near Moulsecoomb and Bevendean, and 1930s semis in Patcham and Woodingdean. Solid walls, single glazing, salt-laden coastal weather and high occupancy in shared houses all combine to trap moisture, making mould a recurring issue across the city's older and denser streets.

Common causes of mould in Brighton homes
Solid-wall Victorian and Regency terraces
Streets in Hanover, Fiveways and Seven Dials are lined with solid-wall Victorian terraces and Regency townhouses that lack cavity insulation and often keep original sash windows. Without adequate ventilation, moisture from cooking, bathing and drying washing condenses on cold internal walls and ceilings, producing black mould in bedrooms, bathrooms and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls.
Seafront flats and basement conversions
Converted flats along Kemptown and Hove's seafront, including basement and lower-ground properties, face driving rain and salt spray that force penetrating damp through render and pointing. Combined with limited daylight and airflow in basement rooms, this creates persistent surface mould on walls near window reveals and skirting, which redecoration alone will not resolve while the moisture source remains active.
Shared houses and student HMOs
Moulsecoomb, Bevendean and Whitehawk contain a high concentration of shared houses and student lets, where multiple occupants, irregular heating and overcrowded rooms raise indoor humidity sharply. Mould commonly develops around window frames, in bedroom corners and behind furniture pushed against external walls, often going unnoticed until landlords or tenants spot staining or a musty smell during changeovers.
