Leak to dry to treated, one company in Covent Garden
Covent Garden's housing stock is dominated by converted Georgian and Victorian terraces, mansion blocks and former warehouse buildings split into flats above shops, theatres and restaurants. Solid brick walls, minimal insulation, shared party structures and heavy footfall from commercial units below all raise internal humidity, giving mould a steady foothold in bedrooms, bathrooms and living spaces.

Common causes of mould in Covent Garden homes
Solid-wall Georgian and Victorian conversions
Many Covent Garden flats sit within solid brick buildings with no cavity to insulate, so internal wall surfaces run cold and attract condensation. Combined with restricted ventilation in subdivided upper-floor flats, this produces black mould on external walls, in corners and behind wardrobes or beds pushed against outside walls, particularly through autumn and winter.
Flats above shops, restaurants and theatres
Residential upper floors sitting above commercial kitchens, cafes and theatre foyers often absorb rising warmth and moisture through old floors and party walls. Where extraction is inadequate or ageing pipework leaks unnoticed behind fixed shopfronts, penetrating damp develops slowly, surfacing later as mould on ceilings, around chimney breasts and in bathrooms directly above the units.
Listed buildings and sash window condensation
Covent Garden's conservation area status means many buildings keep original single-glazed sash windows, which run cold and stream with condensation in poorly ventilated rooms. This collects in window reveals, frames and behind curtains, while listed-building restrictions can limit straightforward fixes, making it essential to address ventilation and moisture sources rather than the window alone.
