Leak to dry to treated, one company in Paddington
Paddington's housing runs from stucco-fronted Georgian and Victorian terraces carved into flats around Sussex Gardens to canal-side mansion blocks near the Basin and post-war council estates towards Church Street. Many properties retain original single-glazed sash windows and solid brick walls, while dense conversions and HMOs mean poor airflow, both conditions that let condensation and damp take hold quickly.

Common causes of mould in Paddington homes
Condensation mould in converted period flats
Large Victorian and Georgian houses around Sussex Gardens and Lancaster Gate were split into multiple flats decades ago, often leaving bathrooms and kitchens without proper extraction. Combined with single-glazed sash windows and solid brick walls that hold cold, moisture from cooking, showering and drying washing has nowhere to escape, so black mould builds steadily on ceilings, window reveals and behind wardrobes pushed against external walls.
Penetrating damp near the canal and basement conversions
Properties close to Little Venice, Warwick Avenue and the Paddington Basin waterways, along with basement and lower ground floor flats common across the area, are exposed to rising groundwater and penetrating damp through ageing brickwork and old pointing. Once moisture gets in through a failed damp course or cracked render, mould spreads across skirting boards, corners and behind furniture long before it becomes visible on the surface.
Legacy leaks in mansion blocks and estates
The mansion blocks near Bayswater and Edgware Road, plus the post-war estates around Church Street and Kensal Town, have shared roofs, communal pipework and flat roof sections that are prone to slow leaks. When a leak from a neighbouring flat or a roof void goes unnoticed, moisture tracks along joists and plasterboard, leaving mould around ceiling edges and in bedrooms well away from the original source.

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.
