Mould Removal in Havering

Damp & Mould in Havering’s Housing Stock

Havering — Romford, Hornchurch, Upminster — has London's most owner-occupied housing profile, with inter-war and post-war semis dominating and one of the capital's smallest private rental sectors. The rental stock that does exist is largely older semis and flats above Romford's shopping streets. Damp problems track the age of the fabric: perished roofs and gutters, cold single-storey back additions, and condensation in homes heated to a minimum.
