Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hendon
Hendon's housing runs from interwar semis and mansion blocks around Church End to post-war estates at Grahame Park and West Hendon's newer regeneration flats, plus converted houses and HMOs near Middlesex University. Solid and early cavity walls, flat concrete roofs and bathrooms without extraction all trap moisture, giving black mould plenty of cold surfaces and stagnant air to establish itself on.

Common causes of mould in Hendon homes
Cold walls in interwar semis and terraces
Many Hendon streets, particularly around Church End and Cricklewood, are lined with 1930s semis built with solid or early cavity brickwork and small original windows. These walls lose heat quickly, so warm moist air condenses on external corners and behind wardrobes pushed against outside walls. Bedrooms and box rooms are frequently affected, with black spotting spreading from skirting level upward if the moisture source is not tackled.
Poorly ventilated flats and converted houses
The mansion blocks near Hendon Central and subdivided period houses close to Middlesex University often have bathrooms and kitchens without working extractor fans, and windows that are rarely opened in shared or let accommodation. Steam has nowhere to go, so it settles on tiles, ceilings and around window frames, and mould can take hold within weeks in busier households or houses in multiple occupation.
Flat roofs and penetrating damp on estate blocks
Post-war and system-built blocks at Grahame Park and parts of West Hendon have flat roofs, concrete panels and cold bridging at window reveals and balcony junctions. Where roofing or render has failed, penetrating damp tracks through the structure and shows up as mould on ceilings, in corners and behind furniture on external walls, often reappearing after redecoration unless the actual water entry point is repaired.

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.
