Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hersham
Hersham's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian cottages around Hersham Green through streets of 1930s semi-detached houses to the gated estate at Burwood Park and the almshouse cottages of Whiteley Village. Older solid-wall properties suffer penetrating damp, while the many 1930s cavity-wall semis and postwar homes near Rydens trap condensation in bathrooms and bedrooms, feeding black mould.

Common causes of mould in Hersham homes
Solid-Wall Cottages Around Hersham Green
The older brick cottages near Hersham Green predate cavity wall construction, so rain and ground moisture pass straight through solid walls. Once inside, damp plaster stays cold and black mould spreads across external walls and behind wardrobes pushed against them. Treating the mould alone does not work; we trace and fix the penetrating damp source, whether failed pointing, a blocked gutter or a bridged damp-proof course, before redecorating.
1930s Semis and Condensation in Bathrooms and Bedrooms
Much of Hersham was built up with 1930s semi-detached houses, many since fitted with double glazing and loft insulation that trap warm, moist air indoors. Without adequate ventilation, condensation forms on cold spots such as window reveals, north-facing bedroom walls and bathroom ceilings, and black mould follows. We treat the affected surfaces and improve airflow and heating patterns so the moisture causing it does not build up again.
Retirement Cottages at Whiteley Village and Older Bedrooms
Whiteley Village's almshouse cottages and other older retirement homes nearby often have limited ventilation, while residents may heat and air rooms less than modern households. This combination lets moisture linger, and mould develops behind furniture, in wardrobes and around window frames unnoticed. Our surveys identify the real moisture source, from poor extraction to rising damp, and recommend fixes that respect the building while stopping mould returning.

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.
