Leak to dry to treated, one company in West Malling
West Malling's housing runs from Georgian and Tudor timber-framed buildings along the High Street to Victorian terraces, 1930s semis around Swan Street, and the sprawling modern estates of Kings Hill and Leybourne. Solid brick walls with no cavity, ill-fitting sash windows and abbey-adjacent conversions trap moisture, while newer airtight homes suffer condensation from poor ventilation, giving mould plenty of ways in.

Common causes of mould in West Malling homes
Solid-wall damp on the High Street and around the Abbey
Many of West Malling's Georgian and timber-framed buildings near the High Street and Abbey precinct have solid brick or lath-and-plaster walls with no cavity barrier. Groundwater and driving rain penetrate through ageing pointing and old render, tracking upwards to feed black mould at ceiling junctions and behind wallpaper. We trace the entry point, dry the fabric properly and repair pointing or render so it does not return.
Condensation mould in Kings Hill and Leybourne new-builds
Airtight modern homes across Kings Hill and Leybourne trap humidity from showers, cooking and drying laundry indoors, with trickle vents and extractor fans often left unused or poorly balanced. This shows up as black speckling in bathroom corners, on bedroom windows and around wardrobes on external walls. We fix the ventilation and moisture balance, not just wipe the surface, so the mould stops coming back within weeks.
Bay windows and cold spots in the 1930s semis around Swan Street
The 1930s semis and interwar terraces near Swan Street and East Malling often have single-glazed bay windows, thin cavity walls and cold bedrooms behind large furniture pushed against external walls. Trapped, unventilated air condenses on these cold surfaces, producing musty patches behind wardrobes and beds. We identify the specific cold bridge or leak causing it and treat the underlying moisture source, not just the visible mould.
