Leak to dry to treated, one company in Dalston
Dalston's housing runs from Victorian terraces split into flats to ex-council low-rise blocks and newer developments around Dalston Junction and Kingsland High Street. Many converted terraces have solid brick walls, single glazing and poorly ventilated bathrooms squeezed into former bedrooms, while dense multi-occupancy living pushes up indoor moisture, making condensation and black mould persistent problems across the area.

Common causes of mould in Dalston homes
Converted terraces with poor airflow
Much of Dalston's Victorian stock was carved into flats decades ago, often leaving bathrooms and kitchens without proper extraction. Steam and cooking moisture linger in these smaller, subdivided rooms with solid brick walls that hold cold and damp. Black mould builds up around window reveals, in corners and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls, returning quickly unless ventilation and heating patterns are addressed alongside the redecoration.
Basement and lower ground flats near Dalston Junction
Lower ground and basement conversions around Dalston Junction and Kingsland Road sit close to ground level, making them prone to penetrating damp through ageing brickwork and old pointing. Combined with limited natural light and airflow, moisture gets trapped, encouraging mould on ceilings and skirting boards. Fixing this properly means addressing external water ingress, not just treating the visible mould on internal surfaces.
Ex-council blocks and single-glazed windows
Several ex-council blocks and older conversions across Dalston still have single glazing or ageing double glazing with failed seals, causing heavy condensation on cold mornings. Window sills, reveals and the wall space behind curtains become recurring mould spots, especially in bedrooms where breathing overnight adds humidity. Left untreated, spores spread to soft furnishings and behind furniture, meaning surface cleaning alone rarely stops it recurring.

Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
