Leak to dry to treated, one company in Nunhead
Nunhead's housing runs from bay-fronted Victorian terraces around Nunhead Green and Linden Grove to converted flats near the cemetery and low-rise ex-council blocks off Gibbon Road. Many terraces retain original single-glazing and solid brick walls with no cavity, so condensation gathers fast, while subdivided conversions often share one extractor fan between several rooms, letting mould take hold unnoticed.

Common causes of mould in Nunhead homes
Solid brick Victorian terraces and cold-wall condensation
The bay-fronted terraces around Nunhead Green and Ivydale Road were built with solid brick walls and little to no cavity insulation. Internal wall surfaces run cold, so warm moist air from cooking, showering and drying washing condenses on plaster before it can escape, leaving black mould spreading across ceilings, corners and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls.
Split conversions with shared, inadequate ventilation
Many Nunhead terraces have been divided into upper and lower flats, often leaving one bathroom extractor serving rooms it was never sized for, or none at all in older conversions. Steam from showers drifts unchecked into bedrooms and hallways, settling as mould on window reveals and ceiling corners, particularly in top-floor flats where the roof space traps humidity.
Hillside damp near Nunhead Cemetery and older solid floors
Properties on the sloping streets near Nunhead Cemetery and Linden Grove often sit on solid or suspended floors with ageing damp-proof courses, letting groundwater and penetrating damp track up through walls after wet weather. Combined with poor sub-floor ventilation, this raises indoor humidity and feeds surface mould on skirting boards, behind furniture and along ground-floor 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.
