Leak to dry to treated, one company in Ewell
Ewell's housing spans Georgian and Victorian cottages around the historic village core, dense 1930s semis and terraces across Stoneleigh and Ruxley, and post-war estates in West Ewell and Ewell Court. This mix of solid-walled older properties and poorly ventilated interwar and 1950s stock means condensation, penetrating damp and old leak damage all surface regularly as mould on walls, ceilings and behind furniture.

Common causes of mould in Ewell homes
Condensation mould in 1930s semis and terraces
Stoneleigh and Ruxley are dominated by 1930s semis with small box bedrooms, single-glazed original windows in many cases, and limited trickle ventilation. Wardrobes and beds pushed against external walls trap moist air, so black mould develops behind furniture and in corners unnoticed until it has spread. Without improved airflow and insulation, redecorating alone never stops it returning.
Penetrating damp in Ewell Village's older cottages
The Georgian and Victorian cottages around Ewell Village and the High Street have solid brick walls, ageing pointing and, in some cases, no working damp proof course. Rainwater penetration and rising damp bring persistent mould to ground floor rooms and chimney breasts. Treating the visible mould without repairing the masonry, guttering or DPC leaves the underlying moisture source untouched and the problem recurs.
Bathroom and loft-related mould in West Ewell and Ewell Court estates
Post-war housing in West Ewell and Ewell Court often has flat-roofed extensions, thin loft insulation and undersized bathroom extractor fans. Steam from showers has nowhere to go, so mould builds around window frames, tiled walls and ceiling corners in bathrooms and adjoining bedrooms. Past leaks from flat roofs or plumbing add further trapped moisture, so fixing ventilation and the leak source is essential alongside any treatment.

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.
