Leak to dry to treated, one company in Putney
Putney's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the High Street to riverside mansion blocks, 1930s semis around Putney Vale and the mid-century Alton Estate in Roehampton. Solid brick walls, single-glazed sash windows and converted flats with shared bathrooms and limited airflow all combine to trap moisture, making condensation and black mould a recurring problem across the area.

Common causes of mould in Putney homes
Victorian terrace conversions and bathroom condensation
Many Putney terraces near East Putney and West Hill were split into flats decades ago, often leaving bathrooms with no external wall or working extractor fan. Steam has nowhere to go, settling on cold plaster and tile grout until black mould spreads across ceilings and corners. Without proper extraction fitted and the excess moisture removed, redecorating alone only masks the problem briefly.
Penetrating damp in older riverside properties
Properties close to the Thames towpath and Putney Bridge sit on ground prone to damp, and older solid-wall buildings here lack a modern damp-proof course. Rainwater and groundwater can penetrate brickwork, tracking moisture inward to skirting boards and lower walls. Left untreated, this feeds mould growth at floor level and behind fitted furniture, and repeated redecoration will not stop it returning.
Cold bridging in Roehampton's estate flats
The concrete-framed blocks around Roehampton and the Alton Estate were built with construction methods that create cold bridging at window reveals and external corners. In colder months these spots stay noticeably cooler than the rest of the room, so moist air condenses there first. Mould often appears behind wardrobes and beds pushed against these walls, out of sight until it has already taken hold.

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.
