Mould Removal in Kensington and Chelsea

Damp & Mould in Kensington and Chelsea’s Housing Stock

England's smallest and densest borough is almost entirely period stock: stucco-fronted terraces, Victorian mansion blocks, mews houses, and — in the north around Ladbroke Grove — terraces with a substantial social and private rental mix. Value doesn't exempt fabric from physics: multi-level basement flats, hundred-and-fifty-year-old solid walls, and conservation constraints on external insulation and window replacement mean rising damp and condensation are managed rather than designed out.
