Leak to dry to treated, one company in Primrose Hill
Primrose Hill is dominated by stucco-fronted Victorian and Georgian terraces, many now split into flats, alongside grand villas backing onto the park and mansion blocks towards Regent's Park Road. Solid brick walls, original sash windows and conservation area restrictions on external alterations mean condensation and penetrating damp are common, and mould readily takes hold in poorly ventilated rooms.

Common causes of mould in Primrose Hill homes
Solid-wall terraces and condensation mould
Much of Primrose Hill's period housing was built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so internal surfaces run cold and condensation forms easily on north-facing bedroom and living room walls. Once moisture repeatedly settles on plaster or behind wardrobes and headboards, black mould develops. Improving ventilation and insulating internally, rather than simply repainting, stops it recurring.
Flat conversions with poor bathroom and kitchen extraction
Many of the area's grand houses have been divided into flats, often with bathrooms and kitchens fitted into former box rooms or landings without adequate extractor provision. Steam has nowhere to escape, so mould spreads across ceilings, tile grout and door frames. We fix or add proper extraction alongside treatment so the moisture source, not just the mould, is resolved.
Sash windows and penetrating damp behind furniture
Original timber sash windows, prized for their character, are frequently draughty and poorly sealed, letting damp track into surrounding plaster and window reveals. Combined with furniture pushed against external walls in period rooms, this creates cold, unventilated pockets where black mould grows unnoticed behind sofas and beds. We identify the water source, remediate it and treat affected surfaces thoroughly.
