Leak to dry to treated, one company in Tottenham
Tottenham's housing runs from Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Bruce Grove and West Green to 1930s semis near White Hart Lane and dense post-war estates such as Broadwater Farm. Many terraces have been split into flats and HMOs with shared bathrooms and limited airflow, while solid brick Victorian walls and ageing estate concrete both trap moisture, giving mould persistent places to take hold.

Common causes of mould in Tottenham homes
Solid brick terraces with no cavity to stop damp
Much of Bruce Grove and South Tottenham's housing stock is solid-wall Victorian brick with no cavity, so moisture from the ground or driving rain moves straight through into plaster. Combined with old chimney breasts and single-glazed sash windows that sweat in cold weather, these homes develop black mould on external walls, in alcoves and around window reveals, particularly on north-facing rooms that rarely see direct sun.
Converted flats and HMOs with overloaded bathrooms
Many Tottenham terraces near Seven Sisters and West Green have been divided into flats, often with bathrooms carved out of former bedrooms and no extractor fan tied to a working duct. Shared use multiplies steam and washing loads without extra ventilation, so mould builds around shower enclosures, sealant lines and ceiling corners, then spreads into adjoining bedrooms through poorly sealed partition walls.
Estate flats and post-war blocks holding in condensation
Around Broadwater Farm and Northumberland Park, concrete-framed estate flats have thermal bridging at balcony edges and window lintels, where cold spots meet warm humid air and condensation forms. Combined with older communal heating that leaves rooms unevenly warm and furniture pushed against external walls restricting airflow, mould commonly develops behind wardrobes, beneath windowsills and in bathrooms with limited or blocked mechanical extraction.

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.
