Leak to dry to treated, one company in Dorking
Dorking's housing runs from Georgian and Victorian townhouses along West Street and South Street to weatherboarded and sandstone cottages beneath the North Downs, plus 1930s semis in Milton Heath and postwar estates towards the Holmwoods. Solid walls, low ceilings and hillside groundwater across this older stock give mould persistent places to establish once moisture gets in.

Common causes of mould in Dorking homes
Solid-wall Victorian terraces around the town centre
The narrow terraced and semi-detached houses off West Street and South Street were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so they hold moisture rather than shedding it. Once damp tracks through from ground level or a failed gutter, mould spreads across chimney breasts and internal corners long before residents notice a musty smell in bedrooms upstairs.
Weatherboarded and timber-framed cottages in Westcott and Brockham
Older cottages around Westcott, Brockham and Wotton often have timber-clad or part-tile-hung elevations with little insulation behind them. Cold spots form where boarding meets brickwork, and any leak around a window reveal or roof junction sits unseen inside the timber frame, feeding black mould growth on plaster and skirting well before it reaches the surface.
Hillside cottages and conversions near Ranmore and Coldharbour
Properties set into the slopes near Ranmore Common and Coldharbour face constant groundwater pressure against sandstone or chalk-block walls, particularly after heavy rain runs off the North Downs. Penetrating damp shows first in ground-floor rooms and under-stair storage, and loft conversions in these homes trap humid air against cold roof timbers, encouraging mould behind stored furniture and wardrobes.
