Leak to dry to treated, one company in Manor House
Manor House mixes Victorian and Edwardian terraces split into flats with the large-scale Woodberry Down estate, older mansion blocks along Green Lanes and low-rise 1930s housing near the reservoirs. Converted terraces often carry inadequate bathroom extraction and solid walls, while estate flats suffer cold bridging, giving the area persistent mould in kitchens, bathrooms and bedrooms.

Common causes of mould in Manor House homes
Converted Victorian terraces with poor bathroom ventilation
Many Manor House terraces near Green Lanes and Finsbury Park were split into flats decades ago, often leaving bathrooms and kitchens without proper extractor fans or with ducting that no longer vents outside. Steam has nowhere to go, settling as condensation on tiled walls, ceilings above showers and behind bathroom cabinets, where black mould develops quickly in the enclosed, poorly ventilated space.
Cold bridging in Woodberry Down and estate flats
The concrete-frame blocks around Woodberry Down and similar post-war estates suffer from cold bridging at window reveals, corners and behind fitted wardrobes, where the wall surface stays colder than the rest of the room. Warm, moist household air condenses on these cold patches, producing recurring black mould around window frames and in bedroom corners even when residents ventilate reasonably well.
Penetrating damp from ageing roofs and parapets
Older mansion blocks and terraced properties along Seven Sisters Road and Green Lanes often have flat roof sections, parapet gutters or Victorian chimney stacks that let rainwater penetrate slowly through brickwork or roof coverings. This creates damp patches on upper-floor ceilings and top-of-wall areas that feed mould growth, and the staining keeps returning each wet spell until the actual entry point is traced and repaired.
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.
