Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hackney Wick
Hackney Wick mixes converted Victorian warehouses and artist studios with new-build canal-side apartments near the Olympic Park, plus older terraces in Wick Village and Fish Island. Solid brick industrial units, high ceilings and limited original ventilation trap moisture, while canal proximity and ageing terraced stock leave many homes prone to condensation, penetrating damp and recurring mould.

Common causes of mould in Hackney Wick homes
Converted warehouses and loft apartments
Many Hackney Wick homes are former industrial buildings turned into flats, with exposed brick, concrete floors and large steel-framed windows never designed for residential heating and ventilation. Cold bridging through original structural elements causes condensation to form on external walls, particularly in bedrooms and behind wardrobes, leading to black mould that keeps returning if the ventilation issue is not addressed.
Canal-side properties and rising damp
Streets near the Hertford Union Canal and Lee Navigation sit close to water and often have older or poorly maintained damp-proofing. Ground-floor flats and converted units can suffer penetrating and rising damp through party walls and floors, feeding mould growth at skirting level, behind furniture and inside built-in storage where airflow is restricted and moisture lingers unnoticed.
Victorian terraces in Fish Island and Wick Village
Older terraced houses typically have solid, uninsulated walls and single-glazed or poorly sealed sash windows, making them prone to condensation around window reveals and in bathrooms with limited extraction. Past roof or plumbing leaks in these properties often leave hidden damp pockets in ceilings and lofts, which resurface as black mould unless the original moisture source is properly traced and fixed.
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.
