Leak to dry to treated, one company in Waterloo
Waterloo mixes Victorian terraces around Roupell Street and The Cut, mid-century council blocks in Lambeth and Southwark, and glass-fronted riverside apartments near South Bank. Solid brick walls with no cavity, concrete-framed estates with cold bridging, and airtight new-build flats each trap moisture differently, giving mould a foothold across almost every property type in the area.

Common causes of mould in Waterloo homes
Victorian terraces around Roupell Street and The Cut
These solid brick terraces have no cavity wall to stop moisture reaching the inside face, so penetrating damp from worn pointing, cracked render or leaking gutters shows up as mould on external walls, behind wardrobes and in corners of bedrooms. Original sash windows and thin lath and plaster ceilings add to the problem, and once damp gets into the brickwork it keeps feeding mould growth long after any redecoration.
Post-war council blocks in Lambeth and Southwark
Many mid-rise estates near Kennington and Elephant and Castle were built with concrete floor slabs that run straight through external walls, creating cold bridges at window reveals and corners. Combined with extractor fans that are undersized or broken, this produces persistent black mould in bathrooms, on bedroom walls facing outside and around window frames, particularly in flats with limited cross-ventilation between rooms.
Riverside conversions and new-build flats near South Bank
Warehouse conversions and modern apartments close to the river are built tight for energy efficiency, but that same airtightness traps everyday moisture from cooking, showering and drying clothes indoors. Without adequate mechanical ventilation, condensation forms on cold glazing and behind furniture pushed against external walls, leading to surface mould that returns quickly after cleaning unless the underlying ventilation and moisture source is properly 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.
