Leak to dry to treated, one company in Notting Hill
Notting Hill's housing stock is dominated by tall Victorian stucco-fronted terraces and communal garden squares, many long since converted into flats with basement or lower-ground-floor units. Solid brick walls, single-glazing sash windows and below-grade conversions all restrict airflow and trap moisture, while period features like cornicing and shutters make ventilation upgrades harder to fit without care.

Common causes of mould in Notting Hill homes
Basement and lower-ground conversions holding damp
Many Notting Hill terraces have been split into flats with a basement or lower-ground unit, often with limited natural light and restricted through-draught. These spaces sit close to the earth and original tanking can fail or was never adequate, so penetrating damp and rising moisture collect in corners and behind fitted furniture, feeding black mould that keeps returning until the source is properly addressed.
Single-glazed sash windows and condensation
Original timber sash windows, protected in this conservation-heavy area, are rarely draught-proofed to modern standards and stay single-glazed in many properties. Cold glass and reveals encourage condensation to run down and pool on sills, spreading into surrounding plaster. Bedrooms and box rooms with sash windows and little cross-ventilation are particularly prone to persistent black mould around frames and window reveals.
Poor ventilation in converted bathrooms and kitchens
Flat conversions within grand Victorian terraces often place bathrooms and kitchens in internal rooms or awkward extensions with weak or missing extractor provision. Steam has nowhere to escape, settling on tiled walls, ceilings and behind bath panels. Combined with solid, hard-to-insulate walls typical of these period buildings, this creates ideal conditions for surface mould to establish and spread unnoticed.

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.
