Leak to dry to treated, one company in Lambeth
Lambeth's housing runs from Victorian terraces in Brixton and Herne Hill, carved into flats with shared walls and single glazing, through to post-war council blocks around Stockwell and Kennington and dense conversions near Streatham and Clapham. Solid brick, tight floor plans and inconsistent ventilation across this mix mean condensation and damp settle easily, giving mould repeated opportunities to take hold on walls, ceilings and behind furniture.

Common causes of mould in Lambeth homes
Victorian terraces split into flats
Many Brixton, Herne Hill and Streatham terraces were divided into flats decades ago, often without adding proper extraction. Solid brick walls carry cold through to the inside face, so moisture from cooking, showers and drying laundry lands on a chilled surface and turns to mould. Bedrooms on external walls and the backs of wardrobes are common spots, especially where original sash windows let in draughts but little airflow.
Post-war estates and concrete-frame blocks
Around Stockwell, Kennington and Vauxhall, concrete-built estate flats suffer thermal bridging at window reveals, lintels and corners, where the structure stays colder than the rest of the wall. Bathrooms with weak or broken extractor fans push humid air into these cold spots, and mould forms in corners, around frames and on ceilings above showers. Sealed layouts in these blocks trap moisture rather than letting it escape.
Lower ground and basement conversions
Basement and lower ground flats near Clapham, Tulse Hill and West Norwood sit below or close to ground level, where a past leak, poor tanking or penetrating damp through ageing brickwork lets moisture into the fabric. Once inside, walls stay damp longer than upper floors, and mould develops behind sofas, beds and stored boxes pushed against external walls, often unnoticed until it has spread.

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.
