Leak to dry to treated, one company in Reigate
Reigate's housing runs from solid-walled Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the town centre to 1930s semis in Woodhatch and Meadvale, with mock-Tudor detached homes and older sandstone cottages climbing towards Reigate Hill and the North Downs. Solid walls, clay-heavy soil and hillside positions against the greensand ridge combine to trap moisture, making penetrating damp and condensation mould a recurring issue across the town.

Common causes of mould in Reigate homes
Solid-walled terraces near the town centre
Many Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Bell Street and the High Street were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so external moisture tracks straight through to internal plaster. Combined with limited through-ventilation in narrow hallways and boxed-in fireplaces, this produces black mould on chimney breasts, in bedroom corners and behind wardrobes pushed against outside walls.
1930s semis in Woodhatch and Meadvale
The interwar semis common in Woodhatch and Meadvale often retain original bay windows and partially filled cavity walls that let cold bridge through at lintels and sills. Steam from bathrooms and kitchens condenses on these cold spots, and where extractor fans are missing or undersized, mould spreads along ceiling edges and around window frames rather than staying confined to one room.
Hillside cottages towards Reigate Hill and Wray Common
Older stone and brick cottages set into the slopes near Reigate Hill and Wray Common sit against a naturally high water table and clay subsoil, so rising and penetrating damp reach the lower courses of the walls after wet spells. Thick original walls dry slowly, and mould commonly develops behind furniture, under stairs and along skirting boards in ground-floor rooms.

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.
