Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hillingdon
Hillingdon's housing spans 1930s semis around Ruislip and Ickenham, post-war council terraces and flats near Hayes and Yeading, Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Uxbridge, and denser modern flats close to Heathrow. This mix of solid walls, ageing render and tightly sealed newer units means condensation and penetrating damp take hold differently street by street, and mould often follows.

Common causes of mould in Hillingdon homes
Condensation mould in 1930s semis near Ruislip and Ickenham
Many Hillingdon semis from the 1930s have solid or poorly insulated cavity walls and small bathrooms with little extraction. Cooking, drying laundry indoors and daily showers push moisture into cold corners, and mould develops on external walls, behind wardrobes and around bedroom windows. We treat the mould, then improve ventilation and airflow so it stops recurring.
Flats near Heathrow and Hayes with trapped moisture
Flats close to the airport and around Hayes and Yeading are often tightly double glazed with limited trickle ventilation, sometimes to reduce aircraft noise. This traps humid air indoors, and black mould appears on ceilings, in bathrooms without windows and behind furniture pushed against outside walls. Fixing airflow alongside removing the mould stops it returning.
Penetrating damp in older Uxbridge and Cowley terraces
Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Uxbridge and Cowley often have ageing pointing, worn render or gutters that have shed water into brickwork for years. This penetrating damp shows as damp patches and mould on chimney breasts, ceilings below leaking valleys and walls shared with neighbouring properties. We identify the entry point, repair it and treat the affected surfaces properly.

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.
