Leak to dry to treated, one company in Chatham
Chatham's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces built for dockyard workers around Brompton and Luton to 1930s semis, post-war council stock in Weedswood and Princes Park, and newer flats at Chatham Maritime. Solid brick walls without cavity insulation, steep hillside streets, and older single-glazed windows all trap moisture, giving mould plenty of opportunity to take hold.

Common causes of mould in Chatham homes
Solid-wall Victorian terraces around Brompton and Luton
Many of Chatham's older terraces near the historic dockyard were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so internal surfaces run cold and attract condensation. Black mould commonly forms in corners, above skirting boards, and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls, particularly in bedrooms where furniture blocks airflow and moisture has nowhere to go.
Hillside terrain and penetrating damp
Chatham sits across steep valleys, with streets like Chatham Hill and Boundary Road built on sloping ground. Retaining walls, older pointing, and ageing drainage struggle to shed water on these gradients, letting rain track through brickwork and render. The result is penetrating damp that shows up as mould patches on ceilings and upper walls, often mistaken for a roof leak.
Post-war flats and estates with poor ventilation
Estates such as Weedswood and Princes Park include post-war and 1960s-70s flats where bathrooms and kitchens often lack effective extraction. Daily washing, cooking, and drying clothes indoors push humidity up quickly, and without cross-ventilation it settles on cooler surfaces. Mould develops around window frames, in bathroom corners, and behind sofas or beds placed against outer walls.

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.
