Leak to dry to treated, one company in Streatham
Streatham's housing stretches from grand Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Streatham Common and Leigham Court to 1930s semis in Furzedown and Streatham Vale, plus mansion blocks along the High Road. Many terraces were carved into flats with added bathrooms and kitchens, layering modern pipework over solid brick walls and timber floors that trap moisture badly once a leak takes hold.

Drying challenges in Streatham homes
Lath-and-plaster walls in Streatham Hill and Leigham Court terraces
The tall Victorian terraces around Streatham Hill and Leigham Court still carry original lath-and-plaster on solid brick walls with no cavity to interrupt moisture. A burst pipe or roof leak soaks the lime plaster and timber laths together, and if it's dried too fast the plaster cracks and pulls away from the laths, so we control airflow and humidity carefully to save it where possible.
Converted flats and shared floor voids near the High Road
Many Edwardian and Victorian houses along and off Streatham High Road were split into flats decades ago, meaning a leak on an upper floor tracks through joist voids, party walls and communal stairwells before it surfaces below. Drying one flat isn't enough here; we check neighbouring units and shared voids, since trapped water left in a floor cavity keeps feeding damp back into ceilings weeks after the original leak is fixed.
Solid floors and screed in Furzedown and Streatham Vale semis
The 1930s semis around Furzedown and Streatham Vale typically have solid concrete floors finished with a sand and cement screed, which holds water far longer than a suspended timber floor. Streatham sits on London Clay with a naturally slow-draining subsoil, so once water gets under skirtings or through a slab it lingers, and surface readings can look dry while the screed underneath stays saturated and pushes mould up through the walls.

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.

Was lovely working with the team and they did a fantastic and quick job to get all the mould out of my bathroom. Very much looking forward to working with them on other projects around my house!! Thank you for everything and shout out to Karim for being so sweet!
