Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kingston upon Thames
Kingston upon Thames mixes solid-walled Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Norbiton and Canbury, 1930s bay-fronted semis in Tolworth and Old Malden, riverside Georgian and Victorian townhouses near the town centre, and postwar flats towards New Malden and Chessington. Older solid brick, tight loft conversions and proximity to the Thames all encourage damp and condensation, giving mould a steady foothold across the borough's varied stock.

Common causes of mould in Kingston upon Thames homes
Solid brick terraces in Norbiton and Canbury
Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces here were built with solid single-skin brick rather than a cavity, so cold spots form readily on external walls and around bay windows. Once damp penetrates through worn pointing or a leaking gutter, black mould spreads across chimney breasts, bedroom corners and behind wardrobes pushed against outside walls.
Riverside and high water table properties
Homes close to the Thames in Kingston town centre, Hampton Wick and parts of Canbury sit on ground with a naturally high water table, making rising and penetrating damp more likely in older brickwork and basements. Persistent moisture at skirting and floor level encourages mould growth low on walls, particularly in ground-floor rooms and under-stairs storage.
1930s semis and flat conversions with poor ventilation
The semi-detached housing common in Tolworth and Old Malden, along with converted and postwar flats near New Malden and Chessington, often has small bathrooms and kitchens without adequate extraction. Everyday cooking, showering and drying washing indoors raises humidity that condenses on cooler surfaces, leading to black mould around windows, in bathrooms and behind furniture set against external walls.

Jensen B, via Google
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.
