Leak to dry to treated, one company in Kennington
Kennington's housing mix spans grand Georgian terraces around Cleaver Square and Kennington Park, dense Victorian houses split into flats, and large postwar council estates such as Cotton Gardens alongside newer blocks near Vauxhall. This range of construction ages and methods means a leak behaves very differently from property to property, so drying has to be matched to each building's materials.

Drying challenges in Kennington homes
Georgian and Victorian terraces with lath-and-plaster walls
Many of Kennington's period terraces near Cleaver Square and Kennington Park still have original lath-and-plaster walls and suspended timber ground floors. A leak saturates the lime plaster and seeps into joists and floorboards hidden below, creating ideal conditions for dry rot if left untreated. Drying needs to reach the void beneath suspended floors, not just visible wall surfaces, to stop structural decay taking hold.
Victorian houses converted into flats
A large share of Kennington's Victorian stock has been divided into flats, so a leak in one unit often tracks through floor voids and party walls into the property below. Saturated screed and trapped moisture between ceilings and floorboards in these conversions can sit unnoticed for weeks, letting mould establish in enclosed voids long before any staining or smell becomes obvious to residents.
Postwar estates and concrete-framed blocks
Estates around Kennington Park and Cotton Gardens have solid concrete floors, dense block walls and communal pipework serving several flats. A leak from a shared riser or a neighbouring flat soaks into concrete and screed, which holds water far longer than timber construction and dries slowly without forced ventilation and dehumidification, leaving bathrooms and poorly ventilated rooms at greater risk of secondary mould.
