Leak to dry to treated, one company in Earls Court
Earls Court is dominated by tall Victorian and Edwardian terraces and mansion blocks, many long ago carved into flats, bedsits and HMOs for the area's dense rental and student population. Solid brick walls, shared party walls, cramped en-suite conversions and heavy tenant turnover leave little consistent ventilation, so moisture builds up unnoticed and mould takes hold.

Common causes of mould in Earls Court homes
Subdivided Victorian conversions and hidden ventilation gaps
Many Earls Court terraces around Philbeach Gardens and Warwick Road were split into flats decades ago, often leaving bathrooms and kitchens with no external wall for an extractor fan. Steam and cooking moisture drift into bedrooms and hallways instead of escaping, settling on cold plaster and skirting. Black mould commonly appears in these converted rooms long before residents notice a problem, because the moisture has nowhere else to go.
Single-glazed sash windows and solid mansion block walls
The mansion blocks and grand terraces near West Brompton and South Kensington still rely on original sash windows and solid, uninsulated brick. Without cavity insulation, external walls stay cold, so warm indoor air condenses on window reveals, bay recesses and the wall behind curtains. Over a winter this repeated condensation soaks into paintwork and plaster, leaving persistent black mould around frames and in corners that never fully dry out.
HMO overcrowding and furniture blocking cold external walls
Earls Court's large stock of shared houses and student lets means more occupants, more laundry drying indoors and more bodies producing moisture in rooms not designed for it. Beds and wardrobes pushed against cold outside walls trap damp air behind them, while slow landlord repairs after a leak or blocked gutter let penetrating damp spread unchecked. The result is mould behind furniture and along skirting boards that keeps returning until the moisture source is actually fixed.
