Leak to dry to treated, one company in Eynsford
Eynsford's housing stock ranges from Tudor and Georgian timber-framed cottages around the High Street and ford to Victorian villas and later infill homes on the village fringes. Many of the older properties have solid flint, ragstone or brick walls close to the River Darent, with limited ventilation, small windows and shallow foundations that leave them prone to damp and mould.

Common causes of mould in Eynsford homes
Riverside cottages and penetrating damp
Properties near the ford and along the Darent, including many on the High Street and Sparepenny Lane, sit close to a high water table. Solid flint and ragstone walls draw in moisture during wet spells, and older pointing or render lets water track through to plaster inside. This shows as damp patches and black mould at skirting level and low on walls, often mistaken for rising damp.
Listed and conservation area cottages with restricted ventilation
Much of Eynsford sits within a conservation area, so timber-framed and period cottages often cannot have modern trickle vents, extractor fans or replacement windows fitted without consent. Combined with low ceilings and thick solid walls, moisture from cooking, bathing and drying washing has nowhere to escape, building up as condensation mould in bathrooms, kitchens and behind wardrobes in small bedrooms.
Victorian villas and cold bridging around windows
The Victorian and Edwardian houses found off the village centre and towards Farningham Road typically have solid brick walls with little or no insulation and original or poorly upgraded window reveals. These cold spots attract condensation, leaving mould rings around window frames and along external wall corners in bedrooms, particularly where furniture is pushed tight against outside walls and blocks air movement.

I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.
