Leak to dry to treated, one company in Camden
Camden's housing runs from Georgian and Victorian terraces in Bloomsbury and Kentish Town to interwar mansion blocks near Swiss Cottage and postwar estates around Somers Town and Gospel Oak. Solid brick walls, converted basement flats and cramped bathroom extensions all restrict airflow, so moisture from cooking, bathing and drying washing has nowhere to go, settling as black mould on cold walls and ceilings.

Common causes of mould in Camden homes
Basement and lower ground flats with penetrating damp
Camden Town, Kentish Town and King's Cross have large numbers of converted basement and lower ground flats below Victorian terraces. Solid brick walls sit close to ground level with no cavity, so rainwater and rising groundwater push through, leaving damp patches and black mould along skirtings and lower walls. Treating the mould without repairing external brickwork, pointing or tanking means it returns within months.
Condensation mould around original sash windows
Many Bloomsbury, Fitzrovia and Hampstead conversions retain single glazed sash windows in listed or conservation area buildings, which cannot always be replaced. Warm moist air condenses on the cold glass and timber frames, feeding black mould around reveals, sills and curtain areas in bedrooms and living rooms. Fixing this means better ventilation and controlled heating rather than treatment alone, since the windows themselves usually stay.
Cold spots in mansion blocks and ex-council flats
Interwar mansion blocks around Swiss Cottage and Primrose Hill, plus postwar estates in Somers Town and Gospel Oak, often have concrete construction with thermal bridging at corners, behind wardrobes and around external walls in bedrooms. These cold spots attract condensation and mould even where residents ventilate well, particularly in north facing flats, so tackling the underlying cold bridging matters as much as cleaning the surface growth.
