Leak to dry to treated, one company in Fitzrovia
Fitzrovia mixes Georgian and Victorian terraces converted into flats, red-brick mansion blocks, 1930s purpose-built apartments and pockets of ex-council low-rise housing around Cleveland Street and Whitfield Gardens. Many buildings have solid brick walls with no cavity, single-glazed sash windows and shared services, so moisture from cooking, bathing and drying washing has few escape routes, leaving mould to take hold on cold external walls.

Common causes of mould in Fitzrovia homes
Solid-wall Georgian and Victorian conversions
Terraces around Charlotte Street and Goodge Street were built with solid brick walls and later carved into flats, so there is no cavity to break the cold bridge. Warm, moist air condenses on external walls and behind wardrobes in bedrooms, producing black speckled mould on plaster that keeps returning until the wall is properly insulated and ventilated.
Bathrooms without adequate extraction in mansion blocks
Many mansion blocks and 1930s conversions near Great Portland Street have internal or poorly ducted bathrooms, with extractor fans that vent into roof voids rather than outside. Steam settles on tiling, ceilings and grout, feeding recurring black mould, while corridors and box rooms nearby pick up musty smells from trapped humidity with nowhere to go.
Basement and lower ground floor flats with penetrating damp
Basement and lower ground floor conversions around Cleveland Street and Warren Street sit close to street level and old brick footings, making them prone to penetrating damp and residual moisture from past leaks in shared pipework. Furniture pushed against external walls traps damp air, so mould often appears behind sofas and beds before residents notice it on visible plaster.

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.
