Leak to dry to treated, one company in Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington's housing runs from Georgian townhouses around Church Street conservation area to dense Victorian terraces subdivided into flats, plus ex-local authority blocks near Woodberry Down. Solid brick walls with no cavity, original sash windows and converted basements combine with modern airtight refurbishments to trap moisture, giving condensation and black mould few places to escape.

Common causes of mould in Stoke Newington homes
Victorian terrace conversions with poor airflow
Many Church Street and Cazenove terraces were split into flats decades ago, leaving bathrooms and kitchens without working extraction and bedrooms sealed off from the rest of the house. Moist air has nowhere to go, so it settles on cold external walls and behind wardrobes pushed against them. We treat the mould and fit ventilation suited to the property rather than the original layout, so damp air actually gets out.
Single-glazed sash windows and condensation streaming
The Georgian and Victorian sashes common around the conservation area are draughty yet still cause condensation, since cold glass and thin surrounding plaster chill the air faster than it can circulate. Water runs down onto sills and reveals, and black mould builds in the corners and on curtains. We treat the affected plaster and advise on ventilation and heating patterns that stop it recurring without altering the windows.
Basement flats and ex-council blocks with penetrating damp
Lower-ground conversions near Manor House and Woodberry Down sit close to ground level, so failed tanking, cracked pointing or old external pipework lets water penetrate solid walls. This shows as damp patches and mould spreading across bedroom and living room walls rather than staying near windows. We trace the actual entry point, fix it, then treat and redecorate so the mould does not simply return next winter.

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.
