Leak to dry to treated, one company in Homerton
Homerton's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Chatsworth Road and South Hackney to large post-war council estates such as Kingsmead and Trowbridge, plus newer flats near Hackney Wick. Solid-walled older houses with poor ventilation sit alongside concrete-panel blocks prone to cold bridging, and both types trap moisture readily, giving black mould plenty of opportunity to establish on walls and ceilings.

Common causes of mould in Homerton homes
Victorian terraces with poor bathroom ventilation
Many Homerton terraces near Chatsworth Road and South Hackney still rely on single-glazed sash windows and lack extractor fans, so steam from daily bathing has nowhere to go. Moisture settles on cold plaster and window reveals, and black mould develops around frames, in bathroom corners and on ceilings above showers. Without proper extraction fitted alongside treatment, the spores simply return within weeks.
Cold bridging on council estates
Concrete-panel blocks on estates like Kingsmead and Trowbridge suffer from thermal cold bridging at wall junctions, window reveals and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls. These cold spots attract condensation even where residents ventilate well, producing persistent black mould in bedroom corners and behind furniture. Treating the surface alone rarely lasts here; the underlying cold bridge needs addressing to stop mould returning.
Rising and penetrating damp in older solid-wall houses
Some of Homerton's older solid-brick housing near the Lea and Hackney Marshes lacks an effective damp-proof course or has ground levels built up against external walls over the years. This allows rising and penetrating damp to soak into skirting, plaster and floor level, creating conditions for mould to spread upward from the base of walls. Fixing the moisture entry point is essential before any redecoration will hold.

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.
