Leak to dry to treated, one company in Greenford
Greenford's housing stretches from 1930s bay-fronted semis around Ravenor Park and Horsenden Hill to ex-council low-rise blocks off Oldfield Lane and newer canal-side apartments near the Grand Union Canal. Solid brick construction, flat-roofed extensions and dense, poorly ventilated flats all trap moisture, giving black mould and damp patches a foothold across the area's varied properties.

Common causes of mould in Greenford homes
Cold-bridging mould in 1930s semis
The bay-fronted semis common around Ravenor Park and Horsenden Hill have solid brick external walls with little to no cavity insulation. Cold spots form at corners, behind wardrobes and above skirting boards, where warm moist air condenses on chilled plaster. Left untreated, this produces recurring black mould on bedroom and lounge walls, particularly once autumn temperatures drop and heating patterns change.
Ex-council flats and poor ventilation
Low-rise ex-local authority blocks near Oldfield Lane and Costons Lane often have concrete construction, small bathrooms without extractor fans, and kitchens that vent poorly into shared corridors. Cooking and showering push humidity into the air with nowhere to escape, so mould builds steadily around window frames, tiling grout and ceiling corners, even in flats that otherwise seem well maintained.
Canal-side damp and leak aftermath
Newer apartments near the Grand Union Canal and older terraces towards Hanwell and Southall can both suffer penetrating damp, whether from ground moisture near the waterway or from a past roof or pipe leak that was never fully dried out. Mould then spreads behind sofas, wardrobes and skirting, returning after cleaning until the original moisture source is properly traced and fixed.

Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
