Mould on Walls London
Mould on walls in London is a common issue, particularly in properties affected by condensation and poor ventilation. If not properly addressed, mould can spread quickly and lead to both structural damage and health concerns.
What Causes Mould on Walls
Mould forms when moisture is present over a sustained period, often as a result of condensation. In many London properties, this is linked to poor ventilation, cold surfaces, and high humidity levels within the home.

Black spots forming on walls or ceilings
-
Mould growth around windows or corners
-
Musty or damp odours
-
Discolouration or staining on surfaces
Mould is often treated as a surface issue, but in many cases, the underlying cause is moisture within the property. Simply cleaning the mould without addressing the source can lead to it returning.
