Leak to dry to treated, one company in Carshalton
Carshalton's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the village ponds to 1930s semis in Carshalton Beeches and postwar estates towards The Wrythe and St Helier. The area sits over a high water table near the River Wandle's source, so older solid-wall properties and poorly ventilated conversions are especially prone to damp and mould.

Common causes of mould in Carshalton homes
Solid-wall terraces near the village and ponds
Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Carshalton village were built with solid brick walls and shallow or failed damp-proof courses. Combined with the naturally high water table near the ponds and River Wandle, groundwater is drawn up through masonry, producing penetrating and rising damp that shows as black mould on skirtings, chimney breasts and ground-floor walls.
1930s semis with bridged cavities in Carshalton Beeches
The bay-windowed semis common in Carshalton Beeches and Woodmansterne have cavity walls, but decades of loft conversions, render repairs and flower beds built up against brickwork have bridged the cavity in places. Moisture tracks across the bridge into bedrooms and bathrooms, leaving cold patches and mould around window reveals and in corners furthest from radiators.
Converted flats and rented terraces with poor airflow
Flats carved from larger houses around St Helier, Rosehill and The Wrythe often have single-glazed windows, limited extraction and furniture pushed against external walls. Cooking and bathing moisture cannot escape, so condensation forms overnight and mould develops behind wardrobes and beds, an issue that returns quickly unless ventilation and heating patterns are addressed alongside any leak or damp source.

Jensen B, via Google
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.
