Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kennington
Kennington's housing runs from grand Georgian and Victorian terraces around Kennington Park to 1960s and 1970s council low-rise and tower blocks such as those near the Oval. Many Victorian houses have been split into flats with shared roofs and neglected guttering, while solid brick walls and basement conversions trap moisture, giving both older and post-war stock persistent mould conditions.

Common causes of mould in Kennington homes
Converted Victorian terraces with shared roofs and gutters
Streets around Kennington Park and Vassall Road are lined with Victorian terraces split into multiple flats. Responsibility for a leaking roof or blocked gutter often sits with a managing agent rather than the resident, so repairs are delayed for months. Meanwhile rainwater tracks down party walls and into upper-floor bedrooms and ceilings, leaving black mould that keeps returning until the actual leak above is fixed.
Solid-wall basements and lower-ground flats
Many Kennington conversions include lower-ground or semi-basement flats built into solid Victorian brick with little or no damp-proof course. Without cavity insulation these walls stay cold and draw in groundwater, so penetrating damp and rising damp both appear behind sofas, wardrobes and in corners. Surface mould spreads across skirting boards and lower wall sections even where the flat looks otherwise well kept.
1960s and 1970s estate flats with poor ventilation
The concrete-framed estates near the Oval and off Kennington Lane were built with small kitchens and bathrooms and minimal extraction. Daily cooking, showering and drying laundry indoors push moisture into walls with limited insulation, and cold external corners around windows and behind wardrobes condense quickly. The result is recurring black mould in bathrooms and bedrooms that reappears within weeks unless ventilation and heating patterns are addressed alongside cleaning.

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.
