Leak to dry to treated, one company in Sutton At Hone
Sutton-at-Hone's housing runs from timber-framed and Georgian cottages clustered around the church and the River Darent to Victorian village terraces and 1960s-70s semis and bungalows on the estates towards Swanley and South Darenth. The older solid-wall stock sits close to the floodplain with little damp-proofing, while the mid-century homes often have small rooms and single bathrooms, so both extremes push moisture levels up and encourage mould.

Common causes of mould in Sutton At Hone homes
Riverside cottages with solid walls and rising damp
Many of the older properties near the Darent and the village centre have solid brick or timber-frame walls with no cavity and ageing or absent damp-proof courses. Sitting close to the river and on low-lying ground, they draw in groundwater and penetrating damp through porous brickwork, which surfaces as black mould at skirting level, on chimney breasts and around old sash windows.
Condensation mould in 1960s-70s semis and bungalows
The post-war semis and bungalows around South Darenth and towards Swanley were built with compact bathrooms, small kitchens and limited trickle ventilation. Daily washing, cooking and drying clothes indoors raises humidity that has nowhere to escape, so black mould builds on bedroom ceilings, in wardrobe corners and behind furniture pushed against colder external walls.
Extensions and converted outbuildings trapping moisture
A number of Sutton-at-Hone homes have rear kitchen extensions, garage conversions or garden outbuildings added without matching ventilation or insulation to the original house. Cold bridging where old and new construction meet, combined with a past leak or poor flashing, leaves damp patches that develop into recurring mould around windows and in corners long after the original leak has been patched.

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.
