Leak to dry to treated, one company in Great Bookham
Great Bookham's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian cottages near the High Street to 1930s semis around Eastwick Park and Chalklands, with post-war and newer estate homes towards Bookham Common. Solid brick walls in the older cottages allow penetrating damp, while many 1930s and later homes suffer condensation from cavity wall issues, bay windows and bathrooms added without adequate extraction.

Common causes of mould in Great Bookham homes
Victorian and Edwardian cottages with solid walls
Many older cottages near Bookham High Street and Church Road have solid brick construction and original single-glazed sash windows, offering little insulation. Cold internal wall surfaces encourage condensation, and black mould often forms on north-facing bedroom walls, behind wardrobes pushed against external walls, and around window reveals where warm moist air meets the coldest surfaces in the room.
1930s semis around Eastwick Park and Chalklands
The area's characteristic 1930s semi-detached homes often have poorly filled cavity walls, bay windows and single-skin extensions that create cold bridging. Combined with ageing pointing and gutters prone to overflow after heavy rain, this leads to penetrating damp in corners and around window frames, with mould spreading across ceilings and upper wall sections in bedrooms and landings.
Post-war and newer estate homes with poor ventilation
Properties on later estates towards Bookham Common frequently have en-suite bathrooms and enclosed kitchens fitted without sufficient extractor capacity for the household. Steam and moisture build up faster than it can escape, settling as surface mould on bathroom ceilings, tiled reveals and cooler bedroom walls, particularly where furniture is placed close to external walls and airflow is restricted.
What our customers say
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.
