Leak to dry to treated, one company in Soho
Soho's housing stock is a dense mix of converted Georgian and Victorian terraces, mansion flats above shops, restaurants and clubs, and compact studio conversions squeezed into former commercial buildings. Solid brick walls, shared flues, low ceiling heights and limited through-ventilation trap moisture from cooking, showering and street-level humidity, giving mould an easy foothold across bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchens alike.

Common causes of mould in Soho homes
Flats Above Restaurants and Kitchen Extracts
Many Soho flats sit directly above restaurant kitchens, bars and cafes, where rising heat, steam and cooking extract fumes push warm moist air upward through floors and party walls. Combined with limited natural ventilation in these converted upper storeys, this constant moisture load condenses on cooler walls and ceilings, producing persistent black mould that returns quickly unless the extraction and airflow route is addressed.
Sash Windows and Solid Brick Facades
Soho's Georgian and Victorian buildings typically have solid brick walls and original single-glazed sash windows, both prone to penetrating damp where mortar has eroded or seals have failed. Rainwater tracking through parapets, window reveals and old render allows damp patches to develop around frames and in corners, creating cold, wet surfaces where black mould readily forms in bedrooms and living spaces.
Converted Attic Flats and Cramped Rooms
Many upper-floor Soho flats were carved out of old attics and storage spaces, with sloped ceilings, small windows and little cross-ventilation. Furniture pushed against external walls in these compact rooms blocks airflow, so condensation builds unseen behind wardrobes and beds. Left untreated, this trapped moisture soaks into plaster and timber, encouraging black mould to spread across ceilings and hidden wall surfaces.
