Mould Removal in Sutton

Damp & Mould in Sutton’s Housing Stock

Sutton is one of outer London's lower-density boroughs, and its rental stock reflects that: predominantly inter-war semis and 1930s parades of flats-above-shops around Sutton, Cheam, and Carshalton. Damp problems here typically arise from aging original fabric — perished felt roofs, blocked cavity trays, and condensation in loft conversions and rear extensions added without adequate background ventilation — rather than the solid-wall problems of inner London.
