Leak to dry to treated, one company in Richmond upon Thames
Richmond upon Thames combines Georgian and Victorian townhouses near the river, converted flats around Richmond and Kew, and 1930s semis in Whitton and Hampton. Solid brick walls, single glazing and proximity to the Thames floodplain in Petersham and Ham leave many homes prone to condensation, penetrating damp and slow-drying moisture that feeds mould growth.

Common causes of mould in Richmond upon Thames homes
Riverside damp near the Thames
Properties close to the river in Petersham, Ham and parts of Twickenham sit on ground prone to high water tables and seasonal flooding. Solid walls without cavities draw moisture upward and inward, leaving skirting boards, lower walls and cupboards damp. Once trapped, this moisture supports black mould that keeps returning until the source is properly diagnosed and sealed.
Poor ventilation in converted flats
Many Georgian and Victorian houses in Richmond, Kew and East Sheen have been split into flats, often with bathrooms and kitchens lacking adequate extraction. Steam and daily moisture have nowhere to escape, settling on cold external walls, window reveals and ceilings. Mould frequently appears behind wardrobes and beds pushed against these walls in bedrooms.
Condensation in 1930s semis
Suburban semis across Whitton, Hampton and Teddington often retain original single-glazed windows and solid or poorly insulated cavity walls. Cold surfaces meet warm, humid indoor air, causing persistent condensation on windows and bedroom walls. Loft conversions in these homes can also trap moisture if ventilation was not properly addressed during the works.
What our customers say
Really impressed with the whole experience. The surveyor did a proper, thorough job and didn't rush anything, they got to the root cause of the damp and explained it all clearly. Detailed, professional and reassuring from start to finish. Couldn't recommend them more highly.
