Damp Proofing & Mould Removal Specialists in Golders Green
Golders Green’s housing is predominantly Edwardian and inter-war, with a significant proportion subdivided into flats. This conversion history creates specific damp vulnerabilities: blocked air bricks, compromised sub-floor ventilation, and condensation in individual units. We diagnose accurately — regardless of tenure.
Why Damp & Mould Solutions
Damp Specialists Who Know Golders Green Properties
Golders Green’s large Edwardian and 1920s–30s properties were designed as single-family homes with a particular ventilation strategy. When subdivided, sub-floor voids become sealed, air bricks get blocked, and lower-ground flats develop chronic damp. Condensation in upper flats is frequently misidentified as penetrating damp from the roof. We separate these accurately with calibrated equipment.

- Written report with photographs and moisture readings
- Suitable for home purchases, mortgage requirements, and insurance
- Fixed-price quotation provided where treatment is required
Penetrating Damp in Golders Green Properties
