Mould Removal in City of London

Damp & Mould in City of London’s Housing Stock

The City of London's small residential stock is dominated by two listed post-war concrete estates — the Barbican and Golden Lane — plus flats above and within commercial buildings. Brutalist concrete construction brings its own damp profile: cold bridging at balconies and structural junctions, interstitial condensation, and famously complex heating systems. Listed-building status rules out most fabric alterations, so remediation here is almost always ventilation- and heating-led.
