Leak to dry to treated, one company in Newham
Newham's housing stock ranges from dense Victorian and Edwardian terraces in Forest Gate and Upton Park to post-war estates and high-rise blocks around Stratford, Canning Town and Custom House, plus newer riverside flats near the Royal Docks. High occupancy rates, converted HMOs and solid brick walls without cavity insulation all raise moisture levels, making mould a recurring issue across the borough.

Common causes of mould in Newham homes
Overcrowded terraces and HMOs in Forest Gate and Upton Park
Many Victorian terraces here have been converted into flats or shared houses, with more occupants producing more moisture than the property was built to handle. Drying clothes indoors, limited extractor use and shared bathrooms push humidity up quickly, leading to black mould behind wardrobes, in corners and along skirting boards, particularly in bedrooms with little airflow.
Cold bridging in Stratford and Canning Town flats
Post-war concrete estates and some newer blocks around Stratford and Canning Town suffer from thermal bridging at window reveals, lintels and external wall junctions. These cold spots attract condensation even where ventilation seems adequate, producing persistent black mould around window frames and ceiling corners that keeps returning until the underlying cold bridge is properly addressed.
Penetrating damp in older housing near Manor Park and Plaistow
Edwardian and Victorian properties around Manor Park and Plaistow often have ageing roofs, worn pointing and single-glazed windows that let water in during heavy rain. This penetrating damp soaks into solid walls and ceilings, feeding mould growth that spreads behind furniture and in bathrooms long after the original leak has been patched, unless the moisture source is fully resolved.
What our customers say
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.
