Leak to dry to treated, one company in Pimlico
Pimlico's housing stock is dominated by Thomas Cubitt's stucco-fronted Regency terraces, many split into flats, alongside large 1950s post-war estates such as Churchill Gardens and Dolphin Square's mansion blocks. Solid brick walls, single-glazed sash windows and ageing rendering trap moisture readily, while converted basement and ground-floor flats near the Thames suffer particularly from rising and penetrating damp.

Common causes of mould in Pimlico homes
Stucco render trapping moisture in Cubitt-era terraces
Pimlico's iconic white stucco facades, common around Warwick Square and St George's Square, look smart but can seal moisture inside solid brick walls when render cracks or fails. Rainwater gets in but struggles to evaporate out, leading to persistent damp patches and black mould blooming on internal walls, particularly in upper-floor flats where render repairs have been neglected for years.
Basement and lower ground-floor flats near the river
Many converted basement flats in Pimlico, especially those close to Grosvenor Road and the Thames, have limited ventilation and are prone to rising damp through original solid floors. Combined with poor airflow and furniture pushed against external walls, this creates cold, damp corners where black mould develops behind wardrobes and beds, often unnoticed until it has spread significantly.
Condensation in compact post-war estate flats
Flats within Churchill Gardens and Dolphin Square were designed with smaller bathrooms and kitchens that generate high humidity, but many retain original single-glazed steel or timber windows with limited trickle ventilation. Cooking, showering and drying laundry indoors raise moisture levels, causing condensation mould to form around window frames, on ceilings and in bedroom corners where airflow is weakest.
