Leak to dry to treated, one company in Hoxton
Hoxton mixes Victorian terraces and former workhouse buildings with converted warehouse lofts, ex-council low-rise blocks such as the Whitmore Estate, and newer infill flats. Solid brick walls, single glazing in older conversions and dense internal layouts limit airflow, so moisture from cooking, bathing and drying washing collects on cold surfaces rather than escaping.

Common causes of mould in Hoxton homes
Victorian terraces with solid walls and rising or penetrating damp
Many Hoxton streets still have Victorian terraces with solid brick walls and ageing or absent damp-proof courses. Rainwater penetrating through worn pointing, leaking gutters or cracked render pushes moisture into plaster, showing as black mould at skirting level, on chimney breasts and around ground-floor window reveals. Left untreated, it spreads upward through bedroom and living room walls.
Warehouse and loft conversions with condensation on exposed brick and steel
Hoxton's converted warehouse flats often feature exposed brickwork, steel beams and large single-glazed windows, all of which lose heat fast and become cold enough for warm indoor air to condense on them. Mould develops on external walls, around window frames and behind wardrobes pushed against outside walls, especially in bedrooms where ventilation is limited overnight.
Ex-council flats and blocks with cold bridging behind furniture
Post-war council blocks around Hoxton, including concrete-framed low-rise estates, suffer from cold bridging at corners, lintels and floor junctions. In compact flats, beds and sofas pushed against external walls trap moist air, so mould appears behind furniture, in bathrooms without working extractor fans and along ceiling edges where insulation is thin or missing.
What our customers say
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.
