Leak to dry to treated, one company in Westerham
Westerham's housing mix runs from timber-framed and Georgian buildings along the High Street to Victorian villas, farm cottages and 20th-century estates spreading towards Brasted and Sundridge. Solid-walled older properties with no cavity, set against North Downs clay and a high local water table, struggle to manage moisture, leaving many homes prone to condensation, penetrating damp and recurring mould.

Common causes of mould in Westerham homes
Solid-walled cottages and High Street buildings
Many of Westerham's older cottages and commercial buildings along the High Street have solid brick or timber-framed walls with no cavity, relying on breathable lime renders that have often been covered with modern cement or gypsum. This traps moisture inside the wall, pushing damp through to plaster and causing black mould on internal walls, especially in north-facing rooms and behind fitted furniture.
Clay subsoil and rising or penetrating damp
The clay-heavy ground around Westerham and neighbouring villages such as Brasted and Sundridge holds water close to the surface, increasing the risk of rising damp where old or missing damp-proof courses cannot cope. Combined with ageing pointing and render on period properties, this penetrating moisture regularly surfaces as mould at skirting level and up interior walls.
Condensation in extended and modernised homes
Extensions and loft conversions added to Westerham's Victorian and 20th-century housing stock, plus double glazing fitted to older frames, have reduced natural ventilation while daily living still produces the same moisture. Bathrooms, bedrooms and windows in these upgraded homes commonly develop condensation-driven mould, particularly where trickle vents are absent or extractor fans are undersized.

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.
