Leak to dry to treated, one company in Richmond
Richmond's housing runs from Georgian and Victorian terraces around Richmond Hill and St Margarets to riverside townhouses, 1930s semis in East Sheen, and converted mansion blocks near Kew Gardens. Solid brick walls, single-glazed sash windows and low-lying ground near the Thames all restrict ventilation and let moisture build up, making condensation and damp-related mould a recurring issue across the borough.

Common causes of mould in Richmond homes
Solid-wall Victorian and Georgian terraces
Many terraces around Richmond Hill, St Margarets and East Sheen were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, so internal surfaces run cold against the outside air. Warm, moist household air condenses on these cold spots, particularly in corners, behind wardrobes and along external walls, producing black mould on plaster and paintwork that keeps returning until the wall build-up and ventilation are properly addressed.
Riverside and low-lying properties near the Thames
Homes close to the river in Petersham, Ham and along Richmond Riverside sit on ground prone to high water tables and periodic flooding. This drives penetrating and rising damp into ground-floor rooms and basement or lower-ground flats, leaving persistent tide marks, damp plaster and mould that spreads across skirting boards and up walls unless the moisture source is traced and resolved, not just cleaned off.
Converted flats and mansion blocks with poor airflow
Richmond has a large stock of converted Victorian houses and 1930s mansion blocks near Kew and Sheen Park, often split into flats with small bathrooms and bedrooms lacking effective extraction. Steam from showers and drying laundry has nowhere to escape, settling on ceilings, around window frames and behind furniture pushed against external walls, where stagnant air and cold surfaces combine to let mould take hold.
What our customers say
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.
