Leak to dry to treated, one company in Southall
Southall's housing stock runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around the Broadway and Hambrough to 1960s and 70s low-rise flats and maisonettes near North Hyde and Glade Lane. Many properties have solid brick walls, ageing single glazing and homes accommodating larger or multi-generational households, all of which raise indoor moisture levels and make persistent mould more likely.

Common causes of mould in Southall homes
Solid wall Victorian terraces and rising damp
Many terraced homes around Southall Broadway and Dormers Wells were built with solid brick walls and no cavity, and some retain original or degraded damp-proof courses. Moisture drawn up through walls or penetrating through worn pointing and render leaves tide marks, blown plaster and black mould at skirting level and in bathrooms, particularly where bedrooms sit against cold external walls.
Overcrowded and shared housing driving condensation
Southall has a high proportion of shared and multi-occupancy housing, where cooking, bathing and drying laundry indoors for larger households generates significant water vapour. Without adequate extraction, this warm moist air condenses on cooler surfaces, producing black mould on bedroom walls, behind wardrobes and furniture pushed against external walls, and in poorly ventilated bathrooms used throughout the day.
1960s and 70s flats with cold bridging
Low-rise flats and maisonettes near North Hyde and Glade Lane often have concrete lintels, thin single-glazed frames and minimal insulation, creating cold bridges around windows and ceiling corners. These cold spots reach dew point quickly, so mould recurs around window reveals and ceiling edges each winter unless the underlying insulation and ventilation shortfalls are actually addressed.

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.
