Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kentish Town
Kentish Town's housing runs from tightly packed Victorian terraces off Fortess Road and Leighton Road to converted flats with shared lofts and basements, plus post-war council blocks such as those around Bacton and Peckwater Street. Solid brick walls, older sash windows and railway-adjacent damp ground combine to trap moisture, leaving many homes prone to condensation and mould.

Common causes of mould in Kentish Town homes
Solid-walled Victorian terraces with no cavity insulation
Much of Kentish Town's terraced housing near Fortess Road and Islip Street was built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so internal surfaces run colder than in cavity-wall homes. Moist air condenses on chimney breasts, external corners and behind wardrobes pushed against outer walls, and black mould spreads quietly until decorating or furniture moving reveals it.
Basement and lower-ground conversions below street level
Many Victorian houses around Grafton Road and Prince of Wales Road have been split into flats, with basement or lower-ground units sitting close to the water table and railway cutting. Poor tanking, ageing damp-proof courses and limited ventilation let penetrating damp rise through walls, feeding persistent mould on skirting boards, plaster and behind fitted cupboards.
Small bathrooms and bedrooms in flat conversions with weak extraction
Subdividing family houses into flats around Kentish Town Road and Camden Square often left bathrooms undersized and poorly vented, sometimes with extractor fans ducted into voids rather than outside. Steam has nowhere to go, so mould builds on tiled reveals, ceiling corners and bedroom walls that share a party wall with the bathroom, especially where windows are rarely opened.

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.
