Leak to dry to treated, one company in Gillingham
Gillingham's housing spans Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the old Dockyard, 1930s bay-fronted semis, dense post-war council estates in Twydall and Hempstead, and flats above High Street shops. Solid brick walls, ageing flat roofs, tight rear extensions and poorly ventilated conversions all restrict airflow and trap moisture, making condensation and black mould persistent problems across the town.

Common causes of mould in Gillingham homes
Solid-wall Dockyard terraces and cold bridging
Many terraces near the former Chatham Dockyard boundary and Brompton have solid nine-inch brick walls with no cavity, so external cold transfers straight through. Corners, chimney breasts and areas behind wardrobes stay colder than the rest of the room, and moist air condenses there first, producing recurring black mould patches that redecorating alone never solves.
Twydall and Hempstead ex-council flats and maisonettes
The concrete-panel estates built through Twydall, Hempstead and Wigmore in the 1960s and 70s often have small kitchens and bathrooms with limited or broken extractor fans. Steam from cooking and showering has nowhere to escape, settling on tiled walls, ceilings and window reveals, where mould takes hold quickly and spreads into adjoining bedrooms.
High Street flat conversions with flat-roof extensions
Upper-floor flats above shops along Canterbury Street and the High Street frequently sit under ageing flat roofs or single-storey rear additions prone to slow leaks. Water tracks along joists before showing as a ceiling stain, and combined with minimal through-ventilation in these converted spaces, damp patches turn to mould well before residents notice the original leak.
