Leak to dry to treated, one company in East Peckham
East Peckham's housing runs from timber-framed Wealden hall houses and weatherboarded cottages around the historic village core to converted oast houses and orchard workers' dwellings scattered towards Golden Green and Hale Street, plus newer estate infill nearer Pearsons Green Road. Solid walls, low ceilings and proximity to the Medway and Beult floodplain all encourage the damp conditions mould needs.

Common causes of mould in East Peckham homes
Timber-framed cottages and converted oasts trapping moisture
Many East Peckham properties are solid-walled timber-framed cottages or former oast houses with thick brick and weatherboard construction. These buildings lack cavity insulation and rely on breathable materials that modern paints and plaster can seal in, trapping condensation. Mould commonly appears at wall-ceiling junctions, in corners and around old sash windows where warm indoor air meets cold, poorly insulated surfaces.
Riverside and floodplain damp near the Medway and Beult
Parts of East Peckham, including areas towards Hale Street and Beltring, sit close to the River Medway and River Beult and have experienced flooding in past years. Homes here can suffer penetrating and rising damp long after water recedes, with black mould developing behind skirting boards, furniture and under carpets. Without addressing the residual moisture source, staining and mould keep returning each winter.
Poor ventilation in orchard cottages and modern estate homes
Older orchard workers' cottages and newer double-glazed estate houses near Pearsons Green Road share a common issue: airtight replacement windows and doors without adequate trickle ventilation. Bathrooms and bedrooms trap steam and overnight humidity, leading to black mould on ceilings, around window reveals and behind wardrobes and beds pushed against external walls, where airflow is weakest.

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.
