Leak to dry to treated, one company in Tower Hill
Tower Hill's housing runs from Georgian and Victorian terraces around Wapping and Shadwell to converted warehouse lofts near St Katharine Docks and dense post-war and modern riverside blocks. Solid brick walls in the older stock lack cavity insulation, while converted docklands buildings often retain thick masonry with poor ventilation, so condensation and penetrating damp take hold quickly once heating or airflow falls short.

Common causes of mould in Tower Hill homes
Solid brick terraces and rising penetrating damp
Many Wapping and Shadwell terraces predate cavity wall construction, leaving solid brick prone to penetrating damp after driving rain or failed pointing. Moisture tracks through the wall and surfaces as black mould on internal plaster, often behind wardrobes or beds pushed against external walls. Left untreated, the mould spreads along skirting and up chimney breasts as the wall stays persistently damp.
Converted warehouse lofts with restricted ventilation
Warehouse and dockside conversions around St Katharine Docks and Limehouse feature thick original masonry, exposed brick and limited trickle ventilation behind their character features. Cooking and bathing moisture struggles to escape, condensing on cold single-glazed windows and steel beams, feeding mould around frames and in corner reveals. The airtight refurbishment that preserves period charm often traps humidity that older buildings once vented naturally.
High-density flats and bathroom mould from past leaks
Modern riverside and high-rise blocks near Tower Hill and Aldgate pack bathrooms and kitchens into tight footprints, so a past pipe leak or shower seal failure often goes unnoticed until mould appears on ceilings below. Shared walls and limited extraction in these compact layouts let spores spread quickly between rooms, and mould frequently returns behind fitted furniture until the original leak source is properly traced and repaired.

Jensen B, via Google
I recently used a damp and mould specialist company and was extremely impressed with the service from start to finish. From the initial survey, they were knowledgeable, thorough, and took the time to clearly explain the cause of the issue rather than just treating the symptoms.
