Leak to dry to treated, one company in Farnborough Kent
Farnborough Kent's housing ranges from Victorian and Edwardian cottages along the old high street to 1930s semis around Farnborough Park and newer estates near Locksbottom. Solid brick walls in the older cottages have no cavity insulation, while loft conversions and extended kitchens in the semis often lack proper ventilation, creating ideal conditions for condensation and black mould.

Common causes of mould in Farnborough Kent homes
Solid Wall Victorian Cottages and Penetrating Damp
Many cottages along Farnborough's old village core and near the High Street were built with solid brick walls and no damp-proof course by modern standards. Ageing pointing, cracked render and worn window sills let rainwater penetrate, tracking moisture inward until it surfaces as black mould on internal walls, ceilings and behind wardrobes and sofas pushed against external walls, particularly in ground-floor rooms.
1930s Semi-Detached Homes and Condensation in Bathrooms and Bedrooms
The 1930s semi-detached houses around Farnborough Park and Crofton often have narrow cavities that were never properly insulated, so cold bridging at corners and behind fitted wardrobes encourages condensation. Steamy bathrooms and bedrooms with poor airflow are worst affected, with black spotting spreading around window reveals, over ceilings and along skirting boards where warm moist air meets a cold external wall.
Rural Properties Near Downe and Cudham with Leak-Driven Mould
Detached and rural-edge properties towards Downe, Cudham and High Elms sit exposed on higher, more open ground, so slipped tiles, blocked gutters and old flashing let water into roof voids and lofts unnoticed. A single missed leak can leave a damp patch that develops into mould months later, often found behind stored boxes, in loft eaves or on chimney breasts long after the original leak seemed fixed.

Jensen B, via Google
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.
