Leak to dry to treated, one company in East Sheen
East Sheen's housing stock is dominated by Edwardian and Victorian terraces and semis around the Upper Richmond Road, alongside 1930s semi-detached houses off Sheen Lane and Christ Church Road, plus mansion blocks and converted flats near the Common. Solid brick walls, original sash windows and dense loft and rear-extension conversions all restrict airflow, making condensation and mould a recurring problem across the area.

Common causes of mould in East Sheen homes
Victorian and Edwardian terraces with solid walls
Many East Sheen terraces and semis near the station and Upper Richmond Road were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so internal surfaces run cold and attract condensation quickly. Original sash windows with single glazing make it worse, and mould commonly appears in bedroom corners, behind wardrobes pushed against outside walls, and around bay window reveals where airflow is poorest.
1930s semis with loft conversions and extensions
The 1930s semis around Sheen Lane and Palewell often have rear extensions or loft conversions added over the years, which can block existing airbricks and reduce natural ventilation through the roof space. Bathrooms fitted without effective extractor fans push humid air into landings and box rooms, where black mould develops on ceilings and around window frames, particularly through autumn and winter.
Converted flats and mansion blocks near the Common
Flats converted from larger houses or set within mansion blocks close to Sheen Common share roofs, parapets and plumbing runs with neighbouring units, so a slow leak or ageing flashing can cause penetrating damp several flats away from the source. This shows up as mould staining on ceilings and around window heads, and it keeps returning until the shared building fabric itself is repaired.
What our customers say
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.
