Leak to dry to treated, one company in Camden
Camden's housing runs from Georgian townhouses in Bloomsbury and Victorian terraces in Kentish Town to mansion blocks near Swiss Cottage and post-war council estates around Regent's Park and Somers Town. That mix means lime-plastered solid walls, timber suspended floors, converted basements and concrete-framed blocks all sit within a few streets, each holding and releasing moisture differently after a leak.

Drying challenges in Camden homes
Lime plaster on solid brick walls
Many Camden Town and Kentish Town terraces still carry original lime plaster over solid brick, with no cavity to interrupt moisture. Once wet, this plaster stays saturated far longer than modern gypsum board and can wick water sideways along mortar joints. Drying has to be gradual and monitored, as forcing heat too quickly can crack or blow the lime coat off the wall.
Basement conversions trapping ground moisture
Belsize Park, Primrose Hill and Fitzrovia have seen extensive basement and lower-ground-floor conversions, often tanked with limited ventilation routes. When a leak or flood affects these spaces, moisture becomes trapped between the tanking membrane and the original structure, with nowhere to evaporate, so subfloors and stud walls need active extraction rather than just air movement.
Concrete estates and screed subfloors
Post-war estates around Regent's Park and Somers Town use concrete floor slabs and sand-cement screed rather than timber joists. These absorb water deeply and dry slowly from the inside out, meaning surface readings can look dry while moisture remains trapped beneath, risking mould growth under flooring and skirting long after a leak has been stopped.
What our customers say
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.
